A Overview Key PCBB terms The payer in PCBB, your organisation is always referred to as the payer whether you are receiving funds from another organisation or paying funds to another organisation. The payee in PCBB, another organisation is always referred to as the payee whether they are receiving funds from you or paying funds to you.

For example, you can have a Direct Credit instruction that tells the Bank to pay funds to a payee (or payees), a payroll instruction telling the Bank to pay funds to each of your employees bank accounts, and so on. Each instruction can have one or more transactions that you want the Bank to process.

For example, you can t have an instruction that includes Direct Credit and payroll transactions. If you need to make Direct Credit and payroll transactions, you need to create separate instructions.

Overview A A.3 An overview of roles Overview Use this card when you need an explanation of how roles work in PCBB. Introduction In your organisation, you may have many people who need to have access to PCBB to do different tasks. PCBB has many uses, some of which include: >> creating transactions telling the Bank to debit and credit funds >> transferring money from one account to another >> viewing the balance of your organisation s bank accounts >> viewing and printing detailed bank statements and other reports >> viewing the latest market information (such as spot rates and foreign exchange rates). Access rights Most Users won t need access to all of the functions in PCBB (unless you work in a very small organisation where a small group does almost everything). To limit the functions that a User has access to, different PCBB Users can be given different access rights by the PCBB Super User. Access rights define what functions and accounts a User has access to. For example, a Super User can prevent a User from viewing the balances of different accounts or prevent them from making certain types of payments from other accounts. In PCBB, the Super User can customise a User s access right down to the smallest detail. For example, a User can be limited to only viewing one account in PCBB and not being able to do anything else. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 11
A Overview To set access rights, a Super User can go into PCBB and define what a User can and can t have access to. There are lots of options (see the pictures below), and it can take a while to assign an individual User all their access rights. To make the process of assigning access rights quicker and easier, the Super User can also assign a User a role or roles instead. Roles A role is a template with a predefined set of access rights that tell PCBB what functions and accounts the User has access to. Roles are created by the PCBB Super User. PCBB also comes with 17 roles, already created by BNZ, for common tasks most organisations have (these include Accounts Payable Data Entry, Accounts Payable Authoriser, and International Trade Authoriser and Market Information). Roles are really useful when the Super User needs to assign access rights to many Users. They can save time and help prevent mistakes. A Super User can create as many roles as needed. 12 bnz.co.nz/pcbanking PC Business Banking
Overview A Each role has different access rights to functions and accounts in PCBB. User Roles JUSTINE DIRECTOR FUNCTIONS LUKE MANAGER MINDY PAYABLE MORRIS RECEIVABLE ACCOUNTS PENNY ADMIN ROCHELLE SUPERVISOR One role is unlikely to cover every function and accounts a User will need access rights for. In fact, most roles will focus only on one part of the accounts process in an organisation. Most Users will have more than one role assigned to them, so they can access the functions required. Each User can have more than one role assigned. User Roles JUSTINE DIRECTOR FUNCTIONS LUKE MANAGER MINDY PAYABLE MORRIS RECEIVABLE ACCOUNTS PENNY ADMIN ROCHELLE SUPERVISOR PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 13
A Overview Individual (User-specific) access rights There may be certain cases where a User doesn t fit into a role and that person needs highly tailored User-specific access rights. In this case, the Super User can assign them these different access rights and not assign a predefined role. At the same time, some Users may need access to certain parts of PCBB where there is a suitable role, and access to other areas where there is no suitable role. In this case, those Users will have a mixture of roles and User-specific access rights assigned to them. Users can also have specific functions or accounts assigned to them if they need different access rights to tasks and accounts. User Roles JUSTINE DIRECTOR FUNCTIONS LUKE MANAGER MINDY PAYABLE MORRIS RECEIVABLE ACCOUNTS PENNY ADMIN ROCHELLE SUPERVISOR service limits Each User also has a service limit set for every service they have access to.

Accessing and exporting B B.6 Sending and receiving messages using PCBB Overview Use this card when you need to: >> send a message to the PCBB Support Team when you have a PCBB issue >> read messages sent from the PCBB Support Team. Only authorised Users can access these functions. Introduction You can use PCBB messaging when you need to send a general enquiry to the PCBB Support Team that doesn t require an immediate response. If you need to contact the Support Team urgently, you should phone them. The Support Team can respond to any messages sent by sending you a message back (or they will phone you if it is urgent). You should only send messages to the PCBB Support Team if you have an issue that is directly related to PCBB. Use your normal communication channels to communicate with the Bank on other issues. BNZ can send two types of messages: >> broadcast messages all Users who have access rights to view messages can read these >> administration messages only Super Users can read these messages (eg. billing and maintenance information). BNZ will send messages to all users when there has been a failure while communicating or processing an instruction. You must always check these messages as that instruction may not be processed until the failure is resolved. BNZ will only use this function to send messages about PCBB issues. They will communicate with you about other issues through the normal channels. Sending and reading messages using PCBB is similar to using email (there is an inbox folder, a drafts folder, an outbox folder, and a sent mail folder). Once you ve created a message to the PCBB Support Team, it will be sent during the next communications session. Any messages sent from the PCBB Support Team will be received during this communications session. See Card C.14 for more information on running a communications session. You can t use messaging to send internal messages between people in your organisation. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 35

PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 45
C Create, edit, delete Creating and sending instructions This diagram shows the five main steps you follow when creating instructions and sending them to the Bank. CREATE A PAYEE This step only has to be done the first time you need to establish an instruction for a particular payee. You don t need to do this step for Inter-account Transfers and Client Funds Service because these instructions involve moving funds between your own accounts. See Card C.2 for more information on creating payees. CREATE THE INSTRUCTION ENTER THE TRANSACTION INTO THE INSTRUCTION Before you can enter a transaction, you need to create an instruction in which to send the transaction. An instruction can have one or more transactions, but the transactions in an instruction can only be of one type (eg. only Direct Credits, or only Same-day Cleared Payments). You can create more than one instruction to authorise and send at the same time. AUTHORISE THE INSTRUCTION SEND THE INSTRUCTION Once the instruction has been created, it needs to be authorised and sent to the Bank. The time when you authorise and send instructions to the Bank will depend on your organisation s debit and credit cycle. See Cards C.13 and C.14 for more information on authorising and sending instructions. 46 bnz.co.nz/pcbanking PC Business Banking
Create, edit, delete C The different types of instruction PCBB lets you create and make a wide variety of instructions. Below are brief descriptions of each different instruction type in PCBB.

C Create, edit, delete Transactions created in another accounting system or package If you use an accounting system or package to create your transactions, you don t need to waste time re-entering those transactions into PCBB. You can send files to PCBB (using the attaching or importing function in PCBB) containing those transactions. Handy tip >> In PCBB your organisation is always the payer, and any other organisation that you send funds to or receive funds from is the payee. >> If you ve used an older version of PCBB, you ll notice that in this version you no longer need to batch instructions to create them. However, you can still batch instructions when you authorise and send groups of similar instructions. For more information about attaching and importing instructions, see Card C.4. Note: Only one user can maintain or create a specific instruction at any given time. If you are unable to access an instruction, a message will display the User ID of the person who is currently accessing that instruction. 48 bnz.co.nz/pcbanking PC Business Banking

Only an authorised User can perform these tasks. Introduction A Same-day Cleared Payment is an Intraday payment which is processed as soon as it arrives at the Bank. (All other payment types are processed overnight). A Same-day Cleared Payment should be used when the funds are required to be available to the recipient on the day that the payment is authorised, such as when buying and selling property. To make a Same-day Cleared Payment you must have enough available cleared funds in your account at the time the payment is sent to the Bank (see the Tips section for more information on cleared available funds). If you don t have sufficient cleared funds, you will be notified by a message sent to PCBB that your payment has failed. Same-day Cleared Payments can only be made between 9am and 4.30pm on business days. For more information about authorising and sending instructions, see Cards C.13 C.14. Unlike other instructions, for Same-day Cleared Payments you don t need to create the instruction first and then enter the transaction. You create the transaction at the same time that you create the instruction. If you need to do more than one transaction, you will need to create another instruction. Same-day Cleared Payments are irrevocable. Once one has been authorised and sent to the Bank you can t withdraw, cancel, or amend it. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 77

Create, edit, delete C C.12 Instructions: Creating an instruction template Overview Use this card when you need to create a template you can reuse for instructions you use often. Only an authorised User can perform these functions. Introduction Creating a template for commonly used instructions Do you have instructions that you use over and over again, such as salary, wages, or Direct Credits to pay utility companies? To save time re-entering the instructions and transaction details each time, you can either copy the instruction and change the details, or you can create a template. A template is a master copy that you can reuse again and again. Both copying instructions and creating a template have their own advantages. Copying an instruction is handy if you only need to reuse the instruction and transactions once or twice. Creating a template is really useful if you need to use the instruction and transactions regularly. Once you ve created a template, you can easily edit it to keep it up to date (for example, to add new transactions or remove old transactions). You can create a template for any type of instruction except APs, Stop Cheques, and CCAF. See Card C.3 for more information on how to copy an instruction. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 89

Only an authorised User can perform these tasks. Introduction PCBB is not like internet banking it is not permanently connected to the Bank for sending and receiving information. If you want to send information to the Bank or receive information from the Bank, you need to tell PCBB to connect to the Bank and perform these tasks. You do this by running a communications session. PCBB can connect to the Bank through the internet or directly using a dialup modem. Once it is complete, it will disconnect from the Bank, so you will need to run another communications session to send and receive more information. If you use personal security modules (PSM) to authorise transactions, the process is the same as for password authorisation. Each role has different access rights to functions and accounts in PCBB. When your organisation needs to send and receive information an authorised User will need to run a communications session.

Set-up and admin D D.1 Adding new Users and resetting passwords Overview Use this card when you need to: >> give a new User access to PCBB >> reset the password for a User. Only a Super User can access these functions. Introduction Each person who uses PCBB should have their own User ID set up for them. Users shouldn t share User IDs or passwords, even if they use PCBB to perform the same tasks. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 109
D Set-up and admin Setting up a new User Setting up a new User is a seven-step process. It s the Super User s responsibility to complete the first six steps of the process. 1 Complete the User access amendment form and send to PCBB Support Team. 2 Download the User into PCBB. 3 Assign the User their PCBB roles or access rights. 4 Set individual account service limits for the User. 5 Change their password expiry period. 6 Issue a temporary password. 7 Get the User to log on and choose their own password. To set up a new User, you need to complete the User access amendment form and send or fax it to the PCBB Support Team. See the tips section for information on how to get this form. BNZ will load the User, and the Super User will need to run a communications session to download the User details into PCBB. See Card C.14 for information on how to run a communications session. This step is important because it tells PCBB what functions, accounts, and service limits (amount of funds they can handle in an account) the User has access to. Follow the steps on Card D.2 to assign access rights and set service limits for the User. Then return to this card and follow Steps 5 and 6. The process for this step is covered in this card. The process for this step is covered in this card. Once the User account has been created and has access rights assigned, the User needs to log on and change the temporary password to one they select themselves. 110 bnz.co.nz/pcbanking PC Business Banking
Set-up and admin D Setting an expiry date for a password All passwords have an expiry period. The default expiry period for a password is 0 days. A User can change their password when it expires. See Card A.1 for more information on how a User can change their password. Follow the steps below to change the expiry date of the password from the default period of 0 days to 30 days (min) up to a 99 days (max). If you need to bring up the User Details screen for the User, follow Steps 1 2 below; otherwise go to Step 3. 1 Select Users and Roles from the Administration menu on the menu toolbar. 2 Select the user who needs their password reset from the Select User/Role dropdown on the navigation panel. The details for that user will appear. 3 Change the expiry date for the password. This length of time can be increased to a maximum of 99 days and decreased to a minimum of 30 days. 4 Select Save Changes from the Navigation panel when you re done. Issuing temporary passwords and resetting passwords You need to issue a new User a temporary password, which PCBB randomly generates, so they can log on. They will be prompted to change this the first time they log on. The process for issuing a temporary password is the same as the process for resetting a password. If a User forgets their password, you can reset it. 1 Follow Steps 1 2 for setting an expiry date. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 111
D Set-up and admin 2 Select Reset Password from the Navigation panel. 3 Click the Yes button to confirm that you want to reset the User s password. PCBB will generate a random password. You can copy and paste the password into an email to email it to the User. If they are a new User: >> let them know they can log in and start using PCBB >> remind them of the rules about selecting passwords (they can view these on Card A.2 or in the tips section below). You can download and print a copy of the User access amendment form in the Forms for Amending User and Account Access section on the PC Banking website (www.bnz.co.nz/pcbanking). Handy tip When you choose your new password, it: >> must be at least eight numbers, letters, or special characters (eg. $, #, @, or!) in length >> must have at least one letter and at least one number >> is case sensitive >> can t have three or more ascending (eg. 1, 2, 3), descending (eg. d, c, b), or repeating (eg. %, %, %) letters, numbers, or special characters >> can t contain a space >> can t be the same as any of the last six passwords you ve had. 112 bnz.co.nz/pcbanking PC Business Banking
Set-up and admin D D.2 Assigning access rights and creating and maintaining roles Overview Use this card when you need to: >> create, change, or delete roles >> assign Users to, or remove them from, a role >> assign a User different rights from anyone else. Only a Super User can access these functions. Introduction If you are setting up a new User, make sure you ve read Card D.1 first. Assigning access rights You can assign a User access rights to PCBB in three ways: 1 by assigning a User one or more roles (a role is a predefined set of access rights) to different areas of PCBB 2 by individually assigning User access rights for different areas of PCBB 3 by assigning a User to a role(s) and individually assigning access rights to different areas of PCBB. The first method is good to use if you have two or more Users who need the same access rights to functions in PCBB. You can have as many roles in PCBB as you need, and a User can be assigned more than one role. There are 17 generic roles that have already been created in PCBB which you can use and modify. If you need different access rights, you will need to create a new role or modify one of the existing roles. The second method is good if you have a User who needs very specific access rights to functions in PCBB that no one else needs (or that very few people need). The third method is good if you have a User who needs the same rights as others, as well as very specific access rights to PCBB that no one else needs. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 113
D Set-up and admin Setting service limits Once you ve assigned access rights to the User, you need to set the service limits for each of the instructions the User has access to. Each instruction has a maximum value, but you can limit the authority a User has to make transactions for that instruction. For example, your payroll instruction may have a maximum limit of $100,000, but you can limit your payroll staff to being able to make transactions for values up to $10,000. Service limits are specific to each User and need to be set individually for each User (not by role). Creating a new role When you create a new role there are three main steps. >> Add a role and name it. >> Choose the level of access you want the role to have to PCBB functions. >> Choose the accounts and instructions you want the role to have access to. For an overview of roles see, Card A.3. 1 Select Users and Roles from the Administration menu. 2 Select Create Role on the Navigation panel. 3 Enter the name of the new role in the Description field. 4 Click the Save button. 5 Select the Access Rights tab from the tab bar. 6 The role you have just created will display automatically in the Select UserRole dropdown. 7 For each module, select the level of access you want the role to have by ticking or unticking the relevant checkboxes. If there is no checkbox, then the function can t be performed for that module. 8 Select Save Changes on the Navigation panel. 114 bnz.co.nz/pcbanking PC Business Banking
Set-up and admin D 9 Select the Accounts tab from the tab bar. 10 For each instruction type within this role, select the accounts you want to be made available under each instruction type, by ticking or unticking the checkboxes. You can select more than one type of instruction for each account. Don t select an instruction for an account if you don t want the role to have access to that account. 11 Select Save Changes from the Navigation panel. Now you are ready to assign Users to this role. Assigning Users to a role Assigning a User to a role gives that person exactly the same access as every other User assigned to that role. A User can be assigned more than one role if required. 1 Select Users and Roles from the Administration menu. 2 Select the User from the Select User/Role dropdown on the Navigation panel. The User s Details tab will appear. 3 Tick the checkboxes next to the role, or roles, in the Roles column that you want the User to have access to. 4 Select Save Changes from the Navigation panel. Assigning a User individual access rights The process for assigning a User individual access rights is very similar to Steps 5 12 for the creating a role process. The only difference is that you need to select the User you want to give access rights to from the Select User/Role dropdown on the Navigation panel, instead of a role. If a User has already been assigned a role, any changes you make here will only affect that User. They will not affect other Users assigned to the role. If you need the change to affect all Users for a role, then change the role instead. PC Business Banking bnz.co.nz/pcbanking 115
D Set-up and admin Set service limits 1 Select the Service Limits tab from the tab bar. 2 Select the User from the Select User/Role dropdown on the Navigation panel. The User Details area on the Details tab will appear. 3 Click on the User Authorisation Limit field for each instruction type and enter the maximum value this User can authorise up to. 4 Select Save Changes from the Navigation panel. Deleting roles 1 Select the role you want to change from the Select User/Role dropdown. 2 Select Delete Role on the Navigation panel, and click Yes on the confirmation dialogue to delete the role. Editing roles Editing the access rights for a role you ve created (eg. adding more functions or removing access to instructions) is easy. You can also edit the 17 generic roles that come preloaded with PCBB. 1 Select the role you want to change from the Select User/Role dropdown. 2 Select the Access Rights tab and/or the Accounts tab and change the details for the role. 3 Select Save Changes on the Navigation panel after editing the details on each tab. Handy tip >> If you are assigning a new User to a role, make sure you have added them before beginning this process. See Card D.1 for more information on adding a new User. > > If you change a role, this change applies to all Users assigned to that role. 116 bnz.co.nz/pcbanking PC Business Banking
