Introducing Corporate Online setups This section introduces some of the main concepts that will help you to understand how your Corporate Online setup works. This is essential when amending your setup to change how your organisation uses Corporate Online.

Everything in Corporate Online is controlled through a setup. Your setup is organised in three parts:

your organisation

one or more offices

one or more users

Organisation Organisation is the “top” level of your Corporate Online setup.

Your organisation setup includes things such as which Corporate Online applications and features you use, how you authorise things such as administration tasks or payments, your daily channel limit for payments, and lists of the accounts and services your organisation chooses to work with in Corporate Online.

Corporate Online Third-Party Master Agreement

A Corporate Online Third Party Master Agreement provides the ability for a third (3rd) party to grant access to your organisation to their Westpac Australia accounts and/or services via Corporate Online. A copy of this agreement is available from your Westpac representative.

A third-party relationship can include, but is not limited to:

A subsidiary,

Any related body corporate,

Accountants, and

Any other non-related body corporate or legal entity

Access to your organisation on behalf of a third party under a Corporate Online Third Party Master Agreement, includes:

View print and export balances and transaction information *

Stop payment on unpresented cheques *

Manage Bank account statement delivery method (paper or electronic) *

View, print and export billing statements

Transfer and remit funds (make payments) *; and

Payment Service Types (Australian Direct Entry, Australian Payment Processing Service, Australian Commercial Card)

Open and manage Term Deposits (including instructions as to term, maturity and disbursement instructions and instructions to terminate) *

Manage Evergreen / Notice Saver Accounts (incudes create or cancel Notice of withdrawals and Reinvestments) *

Receipt Services (Australian Direct Entry, Australian Inward Cheque Dishonour, Australian EFTPOS, Australian RECall Remittance Processing, Australian Commercial Card, New Zealand Remittance processing)

Agency Application (Australian Agency Transactions, Australian Agency Electronic Returns)


View, print and export Loan information (includes Loans, Bank Guarantees and Commercial Bills)

* Access to the third-party Westpac Australia accounts and/or services are provided automatically once the Corporate Online Third-Party Master Agreement is registered to your organisation’s Corporate Online setup. The remaining services requires your Westpac representative to request on your behalf.

Offices An office is a flexible logical entity that helps create some structure in an organisation’s Corporate Online setup. What an office represents will vary from organisation to organisation.

Corporate Online uses offices to segregate payments and to segregate billing (of Westpac’s fees and charges). Offices can also be used to segregate access to payment information such as beneficiaries and templates and trade finance agreements.

The office name appears as the remitter name on all beneficiary payments made through an office. If you make beneficiary payments under more than one trading name, you will need an office for each trading name (this does not apply to payments made through import services).

Most Corporate Online fees and charges are billed via an office, hence most activities in Corporate Online are done via an office. For example, when you make a payment, you access the debit account via an office, and the fee for the payment is billed to that office (and deducted from that office’s billing account each billing cycle).

If you need to separate the billing of your banking activities (e.g. for cost recovery purposes), you will need one office for each cost centre.

Whilst fees and charges can be separated by an office, access to billing statements cannot: billing statement access in Corporate Online is granted directly to individual users.

Office setups

The setup for an office focuses on which applications will be used in that office and then which accounts and services are assigned to support those applications. Application features are not assigned at the office level. They are controlled at the user level.

When an office is assigned to a user, that user doesn’t necessarily get access to all the accounts and services in that office. The user only gets access to those accounts and services that are specifically assigned to them from within that office.

Only accounts and services setup at the organisation level can be assigned to an office.

Account groups for Accounts

An account group contains one or more accounts in the same currency. It sits within an office in your organisation’s setup.

Within an office, any number of account groups can be established. Any account can belong to any number of account groups. There are no additional fees for listing an account in multiple groups within a single office.

To segregate access to accounts, grant your users access to an office and then, within that office, only those account groups that are appropriate for them to see.

When a user signs in to Accounts and uses an Accounts screen, they see only those accounts that belong to the groups you have granted them access to. Each of the Accounts screens


restricts their access in this way. For example, they can only view print schedules that report on groups that you have access to.

Group names must be unique within an office, but a group using the same name can be setup in different offices (e.g. AUD accounts).

Accounts must belong to at least one group if they are to be visible via the Accounts application. An organisation using Accounts needs at least one group in each office they want to view accounts from.

Account groups are used only in Accounts. Adding an account to an account group will not allow it to be used as a payment account in Payments: this must be done specifically.

Users Each user in Corporate Online must be a unique, identifiable “real” person registered to access Corporate Online. Their identity must have been verified

by Westpac (as required by the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 in Australia (AU AML/CTF), or

by Westpac (as required by the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 in New Zealand (NZ AML/CFT), or

by Westpac (as required by the identification standards in Papua New Guinea or Fiji), or

by the completion of a Certified Copy Certificate (available from your Westpac representative), or

by your organisation’s verifying officer (if your organisation qualifies to nominate verifying officers under Westpac’s Verifying Officer Criteria).

Each user has a unique customer number and password and an individual setup. If their access requires it, they will be issued with a security token by Westpac.

Do not, under any circumstances, allow users in your organisation to share a customer number as the sharing of such information has legal implications.

Users and offices

Each user has a primary office (for billing and mail) as part of their setup but a user does not sit under an office in your organisation’s setup. In fact, each user can be assigned access to as many offices as their job role requires.

The fees for a user’s access and token are billed to the user’s “primary office” (as set in the user details).

User setups

When each of your users signs in to Corporate Online, they see a menu of applications and features which they can use to access services and work with accounts. By amending a user’s setup, you can control which specific applications and features they can use, what services they are permitted to access, which accounts they can view or work with, which billing statements they can see, and in which currencies they are permitted to make payments.

User access to accounts, services and groups is always through an office. Access to an office does not automatically mean a user sees all accounts, services and groups within that office. A user will only be able to access those accounts, services and groups specifically assigned to them. In addition, the features they have access to may also restrict what they see. For example, if a user doesn’t have access to a Payment’s import feature, they cannot access import services.


What a user can do is further controlled by their authority level, which controls what role they can play in a workflow and what tasks they can authorise.

User access to billing statements is controlled by granting a user access to specific billing statement references.

Enabling accounts for applications Administration allows you to control access to accounts by restricting user access to offices and within each office, user access to account groups and payment accounts.

In addition to these controls, you may also restrict what an account is enabled for in your Corporate Online setup. Each account must be specifically enabled to:

view and export balances and transaction information (e.g. via the Accounts application)

transfer funds and remit funds/make payments (e.g. via the Payments application).

This restricts how the account can be assigned in Administration. For example, if “accounts” access is not allowed, that account cannot be assigned to an account group; if “payments” access is not allowed, the account cannot be assigned as a payment account. For accounts owned by your organisation, these options can be amended using Manage accounts (see Procedure: Amending access to an account on page 108).

For third party accounts, you can disable access using the same Manage accounts process. To enable additional third-party access (e.g. Payments) the account holder(s) must complete a Corporate Online Third-Party Access Authority available from your Westpac representative.


Authorisation and workflows Corporate Online requires that significant tasks must be authorised. To manage the authorisation of tasks, Corporate Online uses the concept of a workflow. Activities such as making payments, processing import files, and amending setups in Administration all use workflows. A typical workflow might look like this.

Workflows are used by features, and some features share workflows. For example, in Payments, import files and Create files share a workflow.

Authorisation models: how many steps

The number of steps required to complete a task in Corporate Online is determined by the authorisation model chosen by your organisation for that feature (or group of features) on the establishment form. Corporate Online offers three authorisation models:

no authorisation

single authorisation

dual authorisation.

Not all authorisation models are offered on all features. Some activities in Corporate Online (e.g. viewing accounts) are not implemented as workflow tasks and do not require an authorisation model.

No authorisation = 1 step

For a limited number of features (e.g. Transfer Funds) Corporate Online allows an authorisation model of no authorisation (abbreviated to “none” on the forms), effectively removing any authorisation steps from the workflow. Under this model, each task is accepted for processing as soon as it has been created (and saved). For example:

Single Authorisation = 2 steps

Single is the simplest authorisation model, in business terms. Each task must be created, then authorised (once), at which time Corporate Online accepts it for processing.

Dual Authorisation = 3 steps

Dual is the most robust and flexible authorisation model. Each task is created, then goes through a two-stage authorisation process before being accepted for processing.


Choosing authorisation models

Authorisation models are setup at the organisation level. Features that share workflows share an authorisation model.

You can choose different authorisation models for different features even within the same application, according to your business needs. For example, under the Payments application, you might require dual authorisation for Payments but only single authorisation for saving beneficiary details.

To change your organisation’s authorisation model, ask your Westpac representative for a Corporate Online Organisation Amendment Form (Applications and Features).

Authorisation User Roles: How many users?

Corporate Online allows you to restrict what steps each user can perform in a workflow. This defines each user’s role. There are two main roles in a workflow:

creator

authoriser.

In addition, your organisation can determine if individual users can play more than one role in a particular workflow (i.e. can they be both a creator and authoriser) and whether users performing both roles are permitted to authorise the tasks they themselves have created (called “self-authorising”).

At the organisation level, a user’s ability to create and/or authorise tasks and self-authorise is called their authorisation user role. At the user level, a user’s ability to create and/or authorise is called their authority level.

The authorisation user roles permitted by an organisation for a task determines the minimum number of users that are required to create and authorise that task. If you don’t have at least this number of users, you will not be able to successfully perform those tasks.

The various authorisation user role combinations are shown below.


Single Authorisation with Self-Authorisers = Minimum of 1 user

One user can create tasks, then authorise the tasks they themselves have created.

Corporate Online applications such as Payments and Online FX may require users to re-authenticate themselves before authorising tasks created with features using this authorisation model.

Single Authorisation, no Self-Authorisers = Minimum of 2 users

At least two users are required: one to create tasks and a second to authorise them.

Dual Authorisation with Self-Authorisers = Minimum of 2 users

At least two users are required. One user can create tasks and partially authorise the tasks they have created, then a second user can complete the authorisation.

A self-authoriser doesn’t have to authorise first.


Dual Authorisation, no Self-Authorisers = Minimum of 3 users

At least three users are required. One user creates the task, a second partially authorises it, and a third completes the authorisation.

Choosing authorisation user roles

Authorisation user roles are setup at the organisation level with the authorisation model. For applications with more than one workflow (e.g. Payments), only one user role applies. You can choose different authorisation user roles for different applications. For example, you may allow self-authorisation for Accounts but not for Payments.

To change your organisation’s authorisation user roles, ask your Westpac representative or a Corporate Online Organisation Amendment Form (Applications and Features).

Choosing individual user authority levels

Authority levels for individual users are set and changed using the Manage user screens (see Procedure: Creating a user on page 53).

When changing user authority levels, always check to be sure you will still have enough creators and authorisers to use the applications and features.

Dual Authorisation Security Options: Who can authorise?

If you are using dual authorisation, Corporate Online allows you to choose what combination of users are permitted to authorise a task. It does this by allowing you to segregate your authorisers into groups and then impose restrictions on the combination of authorisers it allows.

For a dual authorisation security option, each authoriser is designated as either a primary authoriser or secondary authoriser for a task. Any authoriser can perform the first authorisation in the dual authorisation workflow. However, the application’s security option restricts which authorisers can perform the second authorisation.

Security options only affect authorisation. If you allow self-authorisation, a creator could perform the first authorisation or, if the security option permits, the second authorisation.

The various authorisation user role combinations are shown below.


Both Authorisers Must be of Equal Authority

Under this option, all authorisers belong to one group.

Any two authorisers can authorise a task, which keeps things simple. The only restriction is that the second authoriser is different to the first authoriser.

This is the easiest option for your users to understand and use in practice as a user will not be in any doubt that they can partially authorise a task.

One Authoriser Must be Senior, but the Other Can be Senior or Junior.

Under this option, authorisers are grouped into two groups: senior (primary) and a junior (secondary).

Each task must be authorised by at least one primary authoriser (“senior” person). There is no restriction as to which authoriser must authorise first. The only proviso is that at least one of the two authorisers is a primary authoriser.


One Authoriser from Each of Two Categories Must Authorise

With this option, authorisers are grouped into two groups: category “A” (primary) and category “B” (secondary).

Each task must be authorised by one authoriser from each group. There is no restriction as to which authoriser must authorise first: the rule is that the second authoriser is from a different group to the first one.

Mixed Model Setups and Restrictions on Secondary Authorisers

If you have a mixture of single and dual authorisation models within one application (e.g. Payments) and the security option chosen includes secondary authorisers, then an authoriser with an authority level of “secondary” cannot authorise tasks in any of the single authorisation workflows.

Choosing authorisation user roles

Dual authorisation security options are setup at the organisation level with the authorisation model. For applications with more than one workflow, only one security option applies.

To change your organisation’s dual authorisation security options, ask your Westpac representative for a Corporate Online Organisation Amendment Form (Applications and Features).

Choosing individual user authority levels

The primary or secondary designation for individual users (primary or secondary) are set at the same time as their authority level with the Manage user screens (see Procedure: Creating a user on page 53).

When changing user authority levels, always check to be sure you will still have enough creators and authorisers in the appropriate groups to use the applications and features.

Tokens An important part of Corporate Online’s security model is the use of RSA SecurID® tokens to provide “two factor authentication”. Tokens are issued to individual users, who enter the


number displayed on their token and a token password to authenticate themselves when requested by Corporate Online.

Users with the following access will require a token:

Administration (all users)

Online FX (all users)

Payments (users with authoriser access)

Agency (users with authoriser access)

Deposits (users with authoriser access).

These users are called authenticating users (or token users) and incur an “authenticating user” access fee instead of a standard user access fee. Organisations using only Online FX (with Administration) do not pay user fees.

Westpac issues tokens to users the first time they are granted access that requires a token. These tokens are sent to one of your organisation’s administrators, who is responsible for distributing the tokens to the users and enabling that token for use.

Tokens that are no longer required (e.g. because a user is leaving your organisation or changing job roles) can be re-used for other users.

For more information on tokens, see Procedure: Finalising a create user task after full authorisation on page 58 and Procedure: Enabling a token on page 90

Token Re-authentication

Normally, a token user authenticates themself with their token once in every Corporate Online session.

However, if your organisation’s authorisation models allow a single user to fully authorise Payment or Online FX tasks, they themselves have created, Corporate Online will ask all authorisers to re-authenticate themselves with their token each time they attempt to authorise those tasks.

If you wish to avoid re-authentication, choose authorisation models that don’t allow a single user to complete tasks they themselves have created, either by not allowing self-authorisation or by using a dual authorisation model (instead of single) for Payments and Online FX features.

For more information on amending your authorisation models, see Amending your organisation’s setup starting on page 31

Additionally, each time a user accesses the “Your details” screen, Corporate Online will ask them to re-authenticate themselves as a way of validating their identity before viewing and updating personal information.

Administrator roles As well as defining an administrator’s authority level, Corporate Online allows you to restrict what parts of a setup they can work with by setting their administrator role as “super” or “local”.


Local administrators are restricted to working with those offices assigned to them and cannot alter the administration status of any administrators.

Administration tasks created by a local administrator must be authorised either by a super administrator or by a local administrator with at least the same access as them.

The following table highlights the different capabilities of the two roles:

Manage > Billing Statements

1. Assign or remove user access to any billing statement

2. Change delivery options for any billing statement

3. Modify statement descriptions

1. Assign or remove user access to any billing statement

Whilst administrators may create tasks that amend their own access, remember that those tasks must be authorised according to your organisation’s Administration authorisation model.

Local and super views Most of the screens used to assign things such as offices, groups, accounts and services display different items depending on whether you are a super administrator or a local administrator (and which offices you have access to). If any administrator can see an item, they can assign or un-assign it.

The following topics highlight the differences between what a super administrator and what a local administrator will see. For information on using the screen, see the procedure topics.

Manage organisations

Manage organisations allows administrators to amend an organisations daily channel limit (see Procedure: Amending you Daily channel limit on page 3)


Manage offices

Manage offices allows administrators to create, amend and delete offices (see Procedure: Creating an office on page 38, Procedure: Amending an office on page 48, and Procedure: Deleting an office on page 51).

Only super administrators can access the manage offices screens.

Manage users

Manage users allows administrators to create, amend and delete users (see Procedure: Creating a user on page 53, Procedure: Amending a user on page 60, and Procedure: Deleting a user on page 65).

All Manage user screens show only those offices (and the groups, accounts, and services within those offices) that BOTH the user has been assigned AND that the administrator also has administration access to. Thus, super administrators see the user’s full access, local administrators see only the access the user has in the offices the local administrator has administration access to.

Manage users — Assign offices screen

Super administrator view

Super administrators see all offices. For example:

Local administrator view

Local administrators see only those offices they have access to. For example, this is the view of a local administrator with access to the “Bed Imports” office.

Manage users — Choose account groups screen


Super administrators see all valid account groups for all offices that this user has access to.


Local administrators see only those account groups for offices that BOTH this user has access to AND the local administrator has access to (which may be no account groups at all if the user has access to different offices from the administrator).

Manage users — Choose receipt services screen


Super administrators see all valid service/office pairs available for those offices that the user has access to.


Local administrators see all the valid service/office pairs available for those offices that BOTH the user has access to AND the local administrator has administrator access to (which may be none if the user has access to different offices from the administrator)

Manage users — Choose payment accounts screen



Super administrators see all valid account/office pairs available for those offices that the user has access to.


Local administrators see all the valid account/office pairs available for those offices that BOTH the user has access to AND the local administrator has administrator access to (which may be none if the user has access to different offices from the administrator)

Manage users — Choose payment services screen

The Choose payment service user screen works the same way as the Choose receipt user screen (see Managing Receipt Services on page 121).

Super administrators see all service/office pairs for the offices the user has access to. Local administrators see only those pairs for offices they themselves have administrator access to.

Manage accounts

Manage accounts allows administrators to amend the access to a selected account (see Procedure: Amending access to an account on page 108).

Manage accounts: Assign an account to groups


Super administrators see all valid account groups (in the account’s currency) for all offices.


Local administrators see only those account groups (in the specified account’s currency) they have access to.

If this account is not currently assigned to any group in an office the local administrator has access to, Corporate Online will not allow the local administrator to access this screen.

Manage accounts: Choose Online Payments users


Super administrators see all the valid user/office pairs available for Payments, which includes pairs where the user has access to Payments AND the office has access to Payments AND the user has access to the office.


Local administrators see all user/office pairs for the office they have access to, if office has access to Payments.

If there are no users that currently have access to both Payments and this office, Corporate Online will not allow the local administrator to access this screen.

Manage payment services

Manage payment services allows administrators to amend the access to a selected service (see Procedure: Amending access to a payment service on page 118).

Manage payment services: Choose Online Payments users


Super administrators see all the valid user/office pairs available for imports and funds transfers, which includes pairs where the user has access to an import or commercial cards feature AND the office has access to Payments AND the user has access to the office.



Local administrators see all user/office pairs for the office they have access to, if office has access to Payments.

If there are no users that currently have access to both an import feature and this office, Corporate Online will not allow the local administrator to access this screen.

Manage receipt services

Manage receipt services:

The Choose Online Receipts user screen works the same way as the Choose Online Payments user screen above, except that the user/office pairs combine users with access to Receipts and the offices with Receipts that they have access to.

Manage billing statements

Manage billing statements allows administrators to amend the access and delivery options of a selected billing statement (see Procedure: Amending access to a billing statement on page 114).

As the billing statements functionality does not use the concept of an office, the Manage billing statements screens work the same way for both Local and Super administrators.

Local and super task authorisation Corporate Online places several restrictions on what tasks a local administrator can authorise. The emphasis is not on what is in the task, but on who created it and, if it is partially authorised, who first authorised it.

All Corporate Online’ s usual workflow restrictions also apply (in addition to the local/super restrictions). These include:

a user cannot authorise tasks they do not have access to, so local administrators cannot authorise office tasks

authorisers must match the organisation’s security models.

In order to authorise a task, an administrator must have at least the same administrator access as the administrator who created the task.

Some examples:

A super administrator can authorise tasks created by another super administrator

…


A super administrator can authorise tasks created by a local administrator…

A local administrator with the same offices can authorise tasks created by another local administrator

A local administrator can authorise tasks created by a local administrator with a fewer offices, provided the authoriser has all the offices the creator has…

A local administrator cannot authorise tasks created by a super administrator (even if those tasks affect only the local’s office)


A local administrator cannot authorise tasks if those tasks were created by a local administrator with different offices to theirs

A local administrator cannot authorise tasks if those tasks were created by a local

administrator with access to more offices than they have


Administrator responsibilities As an administrator, you have several responsibilities for ensuring the efficient and effective operation of Corporate Online on behalf of your organisation.

The main responsibilities of an administrator are:

resetting user passwords

resetting a user’s security keyword

locking and unlocking users

adding new users (including Administrators) or amending the setup of a user

acting as a verifying officer to identify, obtain and verify the signature of new users on the new user establishment form (if applicable)

distributing and enabling tokens to users

managing your organisation’s Corporate Online setup, including access to applications, features, accounts and services

completing the paperwork printed from Corporate Online for adding third party accounts

create, amend or delete an office

amending your organisation’s daily channel limit for payments

managing bank account or billing statement delivery options and user access

nominating accounts to receive fees incurred through a new office

deleting users that have left your organisation.

Resetting user passwords

Corporate Online gives administrators the responsibility of resetting user passwords (within the restrictions of your organisation’s user security authorisation model). If no administrators are available, users can still call the Corporate Help Desk for a user password reset, or if they have a token they can reset their password online via the “Forgotten your password” link on the Corporate Online sign in page. See Resetting user passwords on page 93.

Resetting a user’s security keyword

Corporate Online gives administrators the ability of resetting a user’s security keyword. If a user has forgotten their security keyword, an administrator can request to reset the security keyword for that user. This will prompt the user to set a new security keyword the next time they sign in to Corporate Online. If no administrators are available, users can still call the Corporate Help Desk to have their security keyword reset. See Resetting user passwords on page 93.

Locking and unlock users

Administrators can lock and unlock user access to Corporate Online. This is an easy way to temporarily suspend a user’s access for security reasons. See Locking and unlocking users on page 98.

Identifying new users as a Verifying Officer (Australia only)

One of the responsibilities of an administrator under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF) in Australia, is to act as a “verifying officer”, where applicable. A verifying officer is responsible for identifying any new user created in Corporate Online on behalf of Westpac.


When you authorise the creation of a new user, you will have verified the identity of the new user to Westpac and that the user named is known to you and your organisation.

You will obtain and verify the signature of the user on the new user establishment form and this form must be sent to Westpac for processing.

This responsibility applies only to organisations that qualify to nominate verifying officers under Westpac’s Verifying Officer Criteria. If your organisation does not qualify to nominate verifying officers under Westpac’s Verifying Officer Criteria, every user must be fully identified by Westpac either at the branch or via your Westpac representative.

The New Zealand AML/CFT and the identification standards of Papua New Guinea or Fiji do not allow administrators to act as a “verifying officers” in relation to identifying users.

Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 NZ

If your Organisation has access to an account held with Westpac in New Zealand any individual who is added to Corporate Online is required to have their identity verified by Westpac before their access can be approved. This is in order to comply with the New Zealand Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (NZ AML/CFT)

A pre-populated identification form is required to be printed at the time of authorising the creation of a new user. The form should be handed to the new user who will need to make arrangements with their Westpac Representative or local Westpac branch to be identified.

Standards that apply when identifying new users

The following list summarises the identification standards that apply when administrators request the creation of a new user:

Organisation location

Account domiciled location

Identification standards that apply

Australia

Australia Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF) in Australia

New Zealand Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (New Zealand AML/CFT) in New Zealand

Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea identification standards

Fiji Fiji identification standards

Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea standards

Fiji Fiji standards

Papua New Guinea or Fiji




Organisation location

Account domiciled location

Identification standards that apply

Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea standards

Fiji Fiji standards

Please consult your Westpac representative for the documentation and processes required to under each identification standard that applies to your organisation.

Distributing and enabling tokens

When tokens must be issued to your users, Westpac sends them to one of your organisation’s administrators. It is that administrator’s responsibility to distribute the tokens to the users who need them and enable those tokens for use.

For more information, see Procedure: Finalising a create user task after full authorisation on page 58 and Procedure: Enabling a token on page 90

Managing your organisation’s setup

Managing your organisation’s Corporate Online setup includes:

managing offices, including which applications, accounts, services and account groups are available for use within them (see Managing Offices on page 38)

managing users (including Administrators), including access to applications, features (some of which allow users to incur fees), offices, accounts, services, and account groups, setting user authorisation limits for payments and imports, and setting user authority levels (see Managing Users on page 53),

managing your daily channel limit ( Procedure: Amending your daily channel limit (for Payments) on page 32)

adding and managing access to accounts (Adding and Managing Accounts on page 103)

managing access to and delivery options for billing statements (Managing Billing Statements on page 114)

managing access to payment services (Managing Payment Services on page 118)

managing access to receipt services (Managing Receipt Services on page 121)

When new applications, features, accounts, services, and billing statements are added to your organisation, it is up to administrators to cascade those changes to the relevant users (see Cascading organisation level changes on page 32).

Deleting users that have left your organisation

When users leave your organisation (or no longer need access to Corporate Online), you should delete them, for security reasons and to stop their access incurring fees. See Procedure: Deleting a user on page 65. If a deleted user had a token, you can re-use that token by enabling it for another user (see Managing and enabling tokens for your users on page 90).


Administration tasks and workflows This section introduces the Administration tasks and workflows, and how you work with them to manage your Corporate Online setup.

It’s all done with tasks…

Everything in Administration is done with tasks. All actions to amend your existing setup, add components to it, and delete components from it are achieved with tasks. The tasks are divided into types which correspond to the Administration menu items.

When you use one of these menu items to amend your setup, Administration creates a task to make the changes you want to affect.

All user access remains the same until the task you have created is fully authorised (either by yourself or by other administrators). Only then will the changes take effect and be seen by your users.

User security tasks (password resets, security keyword resets, locking and unlocking users) have a separate workflow.

Administration task workflow

To manage the authorisation of tasks, Corporate Online uses a workflow. Tasks in the workflow have a status, which tells you where they are up to in the workflow process. Corporate Online updates the status at the completion of each step.

A typical Administration workflow might look like this.

The pending tasks screen shows all tasks of a type currently in the workflow.

For any component of your setup (e.g. a user), there can be only one task of a type (e.g. amend user) in the workflow at any one time. This includes amendment tasks created by Westpac to process any requests you might make.

How many steps make up the workflow?

The number of steps required to complete a task in the Administration workflow is determined by the authorisation model your organisation has chosen for Administration. See Authorisation models: how many steps on page 10.

Most of the diagrams in this section assume you’re using dual authorisation.


Who can perform which steps in a workflow?

Which steps each administrator can perform in the Administration workflow (including self-authorisation) is determined by the authorisation user roles your organisation has chosen for Administration. See Authorisation User Roles: How many users? on page 11.

If your organisation is using dual authorisation, which combinations of authorisers can authorise a task is determined by your organisation’s dual authorisation security option. See Dual Authorisation Security Options: Who can authorise? on page 13.

Westpac approval tasks

Some Administration tasks require Westpac approval. This includes creating new users, upgrading users to be Administrators, creating new offices, and adding third party accounts, all of which require paperwork to be sent to Westpac in addition to completing the tasks in Corporate Online. This is described in the relevant procedures.

To manage the Westpac approval, create user and create office tasks include a Westpac approval step in the workflow. For example:

The Administrators involved in a task will receive a message via Corporate Online once Westpac approves the task.

Conversely, if Westpac is not able to approve the task the status will be updated to “Rejected by Bank” and the Administrators involved in the task will receive a message via Corporate Online advising the reason the task was rejected.

Tasks and sub-tasks

Most Administration tasks are broken down into several sub-tasks, each of which deals with a specific part of a Corporate Online setup.

For example, consider a task to amend a user’s setup to add the voucher imaging feature for both Accounts and Receipts. This amend user task is made up of two sub-tasks, one for each application.


Each sub-task has a status. The status of the task is the sum of the status of the sub task.

When authorising a task, you can authorise at the task level, or authorise each individual sub-task. When all the sub-tasks are authorised, so too is the task.

Mixed status

Mixed status indicates that among the sub-tasks there is at least one sub-task with a different status, be it rejected, authorised, or part-authorised (according to your model).

If a task has mixed status, you can work at either the sub-task level (by authorising or rejecting individual sub-tasks until all have the appropriate status) or at the task level (by authorising or rejecting the task).


Administration workflow

The Administration workflow can be summarised as follows:

Rejected status

Rejected tasks cannot be authorised: they must be amended or deleted. For a rejected sub-task, either amend the sub-task or reject the whole task.

Pending bank approval status

Pending bank approval tasks cannot be updated: if you wish to make changes to tasks with this status please contact us.

Rejected by Bank status

Rejected tasks cannot be authorised: they must be amended or deleted. For a Rejected by Bank sub-task, either amend the sub-task or reject the whole task.


Amending your organisation’s setup Organisation is the “top” level of your Corporate Online setup. It includes:

applications (e.g. Accounts, Payments, Online FX)

features (e.g. View transactions, Voucher images)

accounts and what type of access is enabled at the organisation level (e.g. for viewing via Accounts or for making payments)

services (for Receipts, for making payments with files, for making payments to Westpac Commercial credit cards and for Agency)

billing statements (for viewing and/or exporting in Accounts)

authority levels (e.g. creator, primary authoriser).

user access to Corporate Mobile

registration of access to third (3rd) party Westpac Australia accounts and/or services provided under a Corporate Online Third-Party Master Agreement.

Some organisation level amendments can be done in Administration by administrators:

Procedure: Amending your daily channel limit (for Payments) on page 32

Procedure: Amending access to an account on page 108

Procedure: Adding accounts held with Westpac Australia on page 105

Most organisation level changes must be made by Westpac and require an organisation amendment form (available from your Westpac representative). There are three forms:

one for amending applications, features, and authorisation models

one for adding accounts and services.

one for amending password expiry timeframes

one for adding internet access restrictions

There are some amendments (e.g. adding or amending billing statements, adding some import services) that Westpac can make without your having to complete a Corporate Online organisation amendment form. Your Westpac representative can tell you when an amendment form is required.

Changing applications, features, and authorisation models

The following are considered material changes to your Corporate Online offering and must be approved by your organisation’s executive officers:

adding and removing access to an application (e.g. Receipts) or feature (e.g. Voucher imaging)

changing the currencies in which you can make payments,

changing the authorisation models for a group of features (e.g. from single to dual authorisation)

amending password expiry timeframes and session timeout

adding internet access restrictions

To request these changes, complete a Corporate Online Organisation Amendment Form (Applications and Features) available from your Westpac representative or by selecting User guides >> Administration from the left-hand menu. See Where can I find a copy of this guide? on page 5.


Adding accounts and services

The following changes are covered on a form that can be signed by either your organisation’s administrators or your organisation’s executive officers:

adding accounts held with Westpac New Zealand

adding accounts held with Alliance banks

adding services (e.g. import services, commercial card services, receipt services, agency services)

removing accounts or services no longer required.

To request these changes to your accounts and services complete a Corporate Online Organisation Amendment Form (Accounts, Services or Limits) available from your Westpac representative or by selecting User guides >> Administration from the left-hand menu. See Where can I find a copy of this guide? on page 5.

Amending password expiry timeframes

The password expiry timeframe relates to the frequency in which your users will be forced to change their Corporate Online sign in password i.e. every 30, 60 or 90 days.

As this is a security feature any change to this timeframe needs to be approved by your organisation’s executive officers.

To request a change, complete a Corporate Online Session Timeout and Password Expiry Timeframe Amendment Form available from your Westpac representative or by selecting User guides >> Administration from the left-hand menu. See Where can I find a copy of this guide? on page 5.

Cascading organisation level changes

Once changes have been made to your organisation setup (e.g. adding a new account or service), you will need to cascade those changes to your users. Some of the procedures you might use to cascade organisation level change include:

Procedure: Amending a user on page 60

Procedure: Amending an office on page 48


Procedure: Amending access to a billing statement on page 114

Procedure: Amending access to a payment service on page 118

Procedure: Amending access and details of a receipt service on page 121

Procedure: Amending your daily channel limit (for Payments) Use this procedure to amend your organisation’s daily channel limit (for the Payments application). The “Amend daily channel limit” task must be fully authorised before your Corporate Online setup is updated and the revised limit comes into effect. Corporate Online sends all administrators in your organisation a secure message to notify them of the amended limit. Only one amend daily channel limit task can exist at any one time.

In addition to amending your daily channel limit, you may also need to amend the authorisation limits of your Payments authorisers (see Procedure: Amending a user on page 60)


To perform this procedure, you’ll need creator access to Administration and a user role of either Super administrator or Local administrator.

We’ll assume you’re signed in and using the Administration application.

1. From the left-hand navigation menu, select Administration > Manage > Organisation.

Corporate Online displays the Manage organisation screen.

2. Select Daily channel limit, then click Amend.

If an “Amend daily channel limit” task already exists, Corporate Online displays a warning. To proceed, select the task from the Pending task screen and amend it.

Corporate Online displays the Enter daily channel limit screen.

3. Enter your new daily channel limit, then click Continue.

Corporate Online displays the Summary screen.


Review the details of the “Amend daily channel limit” task you have just created.

If you also have authoriser access and your organisation permits self-authorisation, you may authorise this task by clicking Authorise now.

Corporate Online updates the task’s status depending on the authorisation model used by your organisation for Administration.

Authorisation model Action

Single authorisation

Corporate Online updates the task status to Authorised, then applies the daily channel limit change immediately.

Dual authorisation

Corporate Online updates the task status to Partially authorised, then displays the Pending tasks screen.

This task (of type Organisation) must now be fully authorised. See Procedure: Authorising or rejecting a task on page 130.

When an “amend daily channel” limit task is fully authorised, Corporate Online sends all administrators in your organisation a secure message to notify them of the amended limit.

Procedure: Viewing your daily channel limit (for Payments) Use this procedure to view your organisation’s current daily channel limit (for the Payments application).




2. Corporate Online displays your current daily channel limit.


Procedure: Managing the internet access restrictions You can help safe-guard organisation’s online information by restricting Corporate Online user access to only those computers within your Organisation network.

When a user enters their Customer number and Password to sign-in, Corporate Online will check the IP Address of the computer they are signing in from and only allow access if it is within the allowed IP Address range.

Note: When internet access restrictions for user access to Corporate Online is applied, this also disables their access to Corporate Mobile.

To add, amend or delete internet access restrictions for your Corporate Online users follow the procedure below.





2. Click the Internet access restrictions link and print the form.

Complete the form, have it signed by your Organisations Executive Officers and then send it to your Westpac Manager. Your Corporate Online Administrators will receive a secure message through Corporate Online once the restrictions are in place.

Procedure: Viewing internet access restrictions Use this procedure to view your organisation’s internet access restrictions.






Corporate Online displays your internet access restrictions.


Managing Offices An office is a flexible logical entity that helps create some structure in an organisation’s Corporate Online setup. For some background information on office setups, see Offices on page 7.

Office billing accounts

Most Corporate Online fees are incurred in an office and charged to the office’s billing account. Billing accounts are established when an office is created.

To change the billing account(s) for an office, contact your Westpac representative.

Trans-Tasman / Trans-Pacific billing

If you make payments from accounts domiciled in more than one country (e.g.: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New Guinea) you will need billing accounts for each country.

Fees are billed in the currency of the country in which the debit account is domiciled and charged to the billing account for that currency. For example, if you have payment debit accounts held in both Australia and New Zealand you will require both and Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar billing account.

If you don’t specify a billing account at the time of creating an office Westpac will set a billing account from those listed in the office in which you made the payment. To change this billing account, contact your Westpac representative.

Procedure: Creating an office Use this procedure to create an office in your Corporate Online setup. The create office task must be fully authorised then approved by Westpac before the office is a functional part of your Corporate Online setup. It can then be assigned to users so they can use it with the relevant applications.

To perform this procedure, you need creator access to Administration and a user role of Super administrator.

Start from anywhere in the Administration application:

1. From the left-hand navigation menu, select Administration > Manage > Offices.

Corporate Online displays the Manage offices — List of offices screen.


2. Click Create office

Corporate Online displays the Manage offices—Enter details of the office screen.

3. Enter the office details…

Field Notes

Office ID This will be allocated by Westpac when we approve the office task.

Preferred office name

Enter a meaningful name for this office. It should reflect the legal or trading name of the entity. The office name must be unique within your organisation.

The office name will appear as the remitter name on any beneficiary payments made through this office.


Field Notes

Street address Enter a street address for this office.

You cannot enter a PO Box address into this field: add a mailing address below.

Mailing address If your office has a mailing address that is different to the street address, un-tick the “same as street address” box and enter a mailing address.

This mailing address is used for all Westpac mail to Corporate Online users who nominate this office as their primary mailing address. This includes Welcome letters, PIN's and SecurID tokens.

If you tick “Same as office street address”, the mail goes to the street address specified above.

Billing accounts Nominate the billing account(s) for this office from the available accounts under the organisation.

Billing statements

Select to have fees for this office charged to a billing statement used for an existing office or select to establish a new billing statement for this office.

… then click Continue.

Corporate Online displays the Manage offices — Assign applications screen, which shows the available applications. For example:

Only those applications chosen by your organisation are listed.

4. Assign the applications that can be used in this office (see Working with assignment lists on page 141), then click Continue.

The applications you assign determine which other sub-tasks you must complete. Corporate Online updates the left-hand menu to display the current list of sub-tasks that must be completed (this may change as you work through them). For example:


5. Complete each sub-task, clicking Continue on each sub-task screen to continue to the next screen.

Corporate Online takes you through the completion of some or all the following office sub-tasks:

Manage offices sub-task — Assign account groups

(a) Create the account groups for this office. These define how your users will be able to

access account information in this office via Accounts. Account groups have NO effect on Payments.

See Office Sub-task: Managing account groups on page 45 for step by step instructions on creating, amending and deleting account groups with this sub-task.

(b) Click Continue.

Corporate Online displays the next sub-task.

Manage offices sub-task — Assign receipt services

(a) Assign the receipt services you want accessible from this office (see Working with

assignment lists on page 141). For example:

All receipt services listed at the organisation level can be assigned.

(b) Click Continue.



Manage offices sub-task — Assign payment accounts

(a) In Corporate Online, all beneficiary payments that cannot be processed by the

beneficiary’s financial institution are returned to the account from where the transaction was initiated. If you would like returned payments posted to an alternate account, select one from the list.

(b) Assign all accounts you want to be able to make payments from via this office (see Working with assignment lists on page 141).

All accounts for which payments access is permitted at the organisation level (see Enabling accounts on page 9) can be assigned. Trade finance agreements appear here as an “account”. Some account types may have restrictions when used in Payments (e.g. can only be used for transfer funds). Some payment types require specific types of accounts (e.g. BPAY requires an account held with Westpac Australia in Australian dollars).

(c) Click Continue.


Manage offices sub-task — Assign payment services

(a) Assign the payment services you want available for processing payment files or

payments to Westpac Commercial credit cards through this office (see Working with assignment lists on page 141).

All payment services listed at the organisation level can be assigned.

(b) Click Continue.



Manage offices sub-task — Choose Online Payments foreign exchange options

(a) Select whether you want to allow cross-currency payments to be made through this

office. For example:

If you choose Yes and your organisation has a dealing relationship with Westpac, assign the relationships you want to access via this office when making cross-currency payments from accounts in Australia or New Zealand.

The dealing relationships shown are those established by your Westpac dealer.

This screen shows the details of how cross currency payments will be made in this office from accounts domiciled in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea or Fiji as applicable. To change the options available in this office, contact your Westpac representative.

(b) Click Continue.


After completing the sub-tasks…

When you have completed all the sub-tasks required, Corporate Online displays the Manage offices — Summary screen. For example:


Tick to agree to the Authorisation and Acknowledgment confirmation where an account not owned by your Organisation has been nominated as an office billing account.





Corporate Online updates the task status to Authorised.

There are additional steps for the administrator to perform!

Go to Procedure: Finalising an office task after full authorisation on page 44.

Dual authorisation


This task must now be fully authorised. See Procedure: Authorising or rejecting a task on page 130.

This office task must be fully authorised, then approved by Westpac, before the Office is included in your Corporate Online setup.

Procedure: Finalising an office task after full authorisation After a create office task is fully authorised, Corporate Online allows you to print a confirmation of the details entered.

Start by fully authorising the create office task (See Procedure: Authorising or rejecting a task on page 130).

After the task is fully authorised, Corporate Online displays the Confirmation — Corporate Online Office screen.

There will be a delay of a couple of days while Westpac establishes billing account(s) and billing statement(s). Once the new office is approved, the Administrators involved in creating and authorising the new office will receive a confirmation message in Corporate Online.


You can check the progress of the creation task on the Pending tasks screen. The office task will have a status of Pending Bank approval until Westpac approves it. For example:

The task will disappear off the pending tasks list when it is approved. The office will then appear in the Manage office — List of offices screen. For example:

Once an Office has been included in your Corporate Online setup, assign it to those users who need to access it (see Procedure: Amending a user on page 60).

Office Sub-task: Managing account groups

Use the Assign account groups sub-task task to create, amend, and delete account groups for an office. This sub-task is part of creating or amending an office.

Before working with account groups for the first time, read Account groups for Accounts on page 7, which explains the purpose and use of account groups in Corporate Online.

If you amend an account group or delete it, any export schedules and report schedules reporting on that group will be affected. The new group account list will be reflected in the export or report from the next reporting cycle.

This sub-task is referenced by the following procedures:

Procedure: Creating an office, step 5 on page 41.

Procedure: Amending an office, step on page 75.

Start from the Manage offices—Assign account groups screen. For example:

1. Perform one or more of the following actions:

Create a new account group (a) Click Create group.

Corporate Online displays the Assign accounts to a group screen.


(b) Select the currency for this account group and enter the name (description) for the

group. This is the name that will appear in the group lists in Accounts.

(c) Click Update list.

Corporate Online displays all accounts listed at the organisation level for the selected currency.

(d) Assign accounts to this group (see Working with assignment lists on page 141).

All accounts with this group’s currency for which view accounts access is permitted at the organisation level (see Enabling accounts on page 9) can be assigned

(e) Check you have defined the group correctly, then click Continue.

Corporate Online returns to the Assign accounts screen, adding the group you just created to the list displayed.

Alternatively, to start over, click Back.

You must fully authorise the office task, then assign the new group to users and fully authorise the user tasks before users can access the new account group.

Amend an account group

Before amending the accounts assigned to an existing account group, you should check that the proposed amendments will not adversely affect any export schedules or print schedules that report on this group. (This doesn’t apply to new offices).

You cannot amend the currency: delete this group and create a new group instead.

(a) Select a group. For example:

(b) Click Amend group.

Corporate Online displays the Assign accounts to a group screen.


(c) Edit the description and amend the list of accounts assigned to this group (see Working with assignment lists on page 141).

(d) Click Continue.

Corporate Online returns to the Assign accounts screen.

Once the office task is fully authorised, any users with access to this group will see the amended group. Any export schedules or print schedules based on this group will report on the amended account list in the next reporting cycle.

Delete an account group

Before deleting an account group, you should check that the proposed deletion will not adversely affect any export schedules or reports (this doesn’t apply to new offices).

(a) Select a group

(b) Click Delete group.

Corporate Online displays a confirmation dialog.

(c) Click OK to confirm you want to delete the group from this office.

Corporate Online returns to the Assign accounts screen, deleting the group from the list displayed.

Once the office task is fully authorised, the deleted group will be removed from any users that had access to it. Any export schedules or reports based on this group will not report on it in the next reporting cycle.

2. When the account groups for this office are correctly defined, click Continue.

Corporate Online displays either the next sub-task, or the summary screen.

Continue working through the procedure that included this sub-task:

Procedure: Creating an office, step 5 on page 41.

Procedure: Amending an office, step on page 75.


Procedure: Amending an office Use this procedure to amend the existing setup of an office.

Only one amend or delete task can exist for an office at a time.


Before amending an office, review the proposed changes to ensure they will not adversely affect your users.

Caution! Some amendments to an office will result in the deletion of the relevant history associated with the facility being amended, such as:

Removing an account group deletes the export schedules and reports that report on it.

Removing a payment account from an office deletes all history of payments made from that account.

Removing a payment service from an office deletes all history of that service (e.g. payment and file status).




2. Select the office you want to amend then click Amend office.

If an amend office task already exists, Corporate Online displays a warning dialog.

If you want to proceed, navigate to the office summary as follows:

For more information, see under each identification standard that applies to your organisation. on page 26 and speak to your Westpac representative.

Trans-Pacific Identification of Users

Organisations with a primary banking relationship in Australia or New Zealand who make payments from accounts domiciled in Papua New Guinea or Fiji will have identified their users in compliance with the identification standards of Papua New Guinea or Fiji. For more information, see under each identification standard that applies to your organisation. on page 26 and speak to your Westpac representative.

Organisations with a primary banking relationship in Papua New Guinea or Fiji who make payments from accounts domiciled in Australia or New Zealand must have their users identified in compliance with the Australian AML/CTF or New Zealand AML/CFT. For more information, see under each identification standard that applies to your organisation. on page 26 and speak to your Westpac representative.

User Access and Token Fees

Your organisation incurs a monthly access fee for each “standard” user from the month in which the create user task is approved by Westpac.

If a user requires a token, they are deemed an “authenticating” user and your organisation incurs an “authenticating” access fee (token fee) instead of the standard access fee for that user. The authenticating access fees are charged from the month in which the token is enabled. Organisations using only Online FX (with Administration) do not pay user fees.

If a user is deleted, you are charged for all or part of the calendar month in which they were deleted.

User fees are always charged to the billing account in the currency of the country of your primary banking relationship.

Procedure: Creating a user Use this procedure to create a user in your Corporate Online setup.

The create user task must be fully authorised and then approved by Westpac before your user is issued with a customer number, user password, and token (if required), as per the


“welcome” process (see Welcome a new user process on page 59). Your user can then sign in and access Corporate Online with the setup you have created for them.

To perform this procedure, you need creator access to Administration.

We’ll assume you’re signed in and using the Administration application:

1. From the left-hand navigation menu, select Administration > Manage > Users.

Corporate Online displays the Manage users — List of users screen.

If your organisation has many users, it’s worth doing a search to make sure the user you are about to create has not already been established in Corporate Online.

2. Click Create user

Corporate Online displays the Enter details of the user screen.

The option to allow the user to re-use their personal banking customer number to access Corporate Online is provided (Australia only). For more information on what to enter for each of the user details fields, see Details (user sub-task) on page 72.

3. Enter the user details (including their name, address and a primary office for billing) then click Continue.


Personal information is used for security verification purposes by the organisation’s Corporate Online Administrators and/or when the user calls the Corporate Help Desk, for example to request a password reset.

For more information on what to enter for each of the user details fields, see Details (user sub-task) on page 72.

Corporate Online displays the Assign offices screen.

4. When creating a new user, you have a one-time option to copy all the details of an existing user into the profile of the user you are creating.

If you choose to do this, select the user to copy from the drop-down list that appears. Once the details are copied, you can still amend them as you continue through the various sub-tasks.

5. Assign the offices you want this user to be able to access, then click Continue.

For more information on what to enter for each of the user details fields, see List of offices on page 74.

Corporate Online displays the Assign applications screen.


6. Assign the applications that this user can access, then click Continue.

Corporate Online updates the left-hand menu to display the current list of sub-tasks that must be completed (this may change as you work through them). For example:

8. Each sub-task has a status so you can see at glance what you’ve changed. To review the details in a sub-task, click the sub-task link (see Working with a task summary on page 143).

At this point you can leave the create user task and return to work on it later.

If you also have authoriser access and you can identify the user you’ve created (see under each identification standard that applies to your organisation. on page 26).

Tick to agree to the Authorisation and Acknowledgment confirmation for authorising the creation of a new user then authorise this task by clicking Authorise now.






Dual authorisation

Corporate Online updates the task status to Partially authorised

This task must now be fully authorised (see Procedure: Authorising or rejecting a task on page 130.

9. When the “Create user” task is fully authorised, there are additional steps for you (or the administrator fully authorising the task) to perform. See Procedure: Finalising a create user task after full authorisation on page 58.

Procedure: Finalising a create user task after full authorisation Use this procedure to arrange a token for your new user (if required).

We’ll assume you’ve just fully authorised a “Create user” task.

1. If the user requires a token, Corporate Online displays the Assign token screen.

Select the administrator to receive the token from the drop-down list then click Continue.

This user’s token will be delivered to the office address for the primary office of the

nominated administrator. This address is displayed under the administrator’s name. The nominated administrator is responsible for distributing the token to the user and enabling the token (see Welcome a new user process on page 59).


Corporate Online displays the Confirmation — Corporate Online user confirmation screen.

Click Print the user application form (where the users access requires)

Complete the forms as follows:

Corporate Online User Establishment form – to be signed by the user, then scanned and

emailed to Westpac.

Corporate Online Administrator Establishment form – to be signed by the user and

Executive Officers, then sent to your Westpac Manager.

Corporate Online Identification Form – hand to the user for identification at a Westpac

Branch.

This task will require Westpac to approve the creation of the user.

6. You can check the process of the creation task on the Pending tasks screen. The user task will have a status of Pending Bank approval until Westpac approves it.

Once Westpac has approved the User task, the task will disappear off the pending tasks list when it is approved. This user will then appear in the Manage user — List of user screen. The Administrators who were involved in creating and authorising the new user will receive a secure message via Corporate Online confirming the Westpac approval and that the user is now available to use.

Welcome a new user process

Westpac’s approval of the user task triggers this “welcome” process whereby a user is issued with a welcome letter (which contains their customer number) and a PIN mailer (which contains their temporary user password). Depending on their access, this user may require an RSA SecureID® token (which is sent to a nominated administrator).

The welcome process goes as follows:

Westpac sends all newly approved users a “welcome” letter which contains the user’s Corporate Online customer number. This is sent to the office mailing address of the user’s primary office (or the office street address if no mailing address is specified).

The next day, Westpac sends each new user a PIN mailer. The PIN mailer contains the user’s temporary user password. This is sent to the office mailing address of the user’s primary office (or the office street address if no mailing address is specified).


If the user does not require a token…

Your new user can now access Corporate Online. Your user should follow the sign in procedures in Introducing Corporate Online.

If the user requires a token…

Westpac sends an administrator pack to the administrator nominated to receive the token for this user.

The pack is sent to the mailing address for the nominated administrator’s primary office.

Follow the instructions in the letter included in the administrator pack to distribute and enable the tokens for your new users.

For information on enabling tokens, see Procedure: Enabling a token on page 90

Your new user can now access Corporate Online.

The first time your new user signs in they will need to set their user password, some security questions, and activate their token if they’re issued with one (see Introducing Corporate Online).

They will also receive a Welcome to Corporate Online secure message to help them learn how to start using Corporate Online.

Procedure: Amending a user Use this procedure to amend the setup of a user.

You cannot amend a user’s name via Administration. See Procedure: Changing a user’s name on page 70.

To perform this procedure, you need creator access to Administration. Local administrators cannot amend themselves to become super administrators

When amending a user’s access, make sure your organisation will still have enough users with the right access to perform your usual activities such as payments.





Hint: If your organisation has many users, do a search on the user’s given name or surname.

2. Select the user you want to amend then click Amend user.

If an amend user task already exists, Corporate Online displays a warning dialog. To amend the user, select the existing task from the Pending task screen and amend it.

Any authoriser role Use the authorise screen to authorise tasks created in those workflows in which you play an authoriser role.


Managing User Security and Tokens To allow you to manage security for your Corporate Online users, Administration includes the following user security functions:

enable tokens

reset user passwords

reset user security keywords

lock and unlock users.

These are implemented using user security tasks and are managed using the user security workflow except for reset security keywords which is not subject to a workflow and does not require authorisation.

The user security workflow is separate from the workflow for other administration tasks and can use a different authorisation model to the rest of administration.

User security authorisation model The authorisation model your organisation has chosen for user security affects what user security tasks you can perform and how you need to go about performing them.

Authorisation model How user security works

Nil authorisation

Any one administrator with creator or creator/authoriser access can perform a user security task on their own.

Administrators with authoriser only access cannot perform user security functions under this authorisation model.

or

Single or Dual authorisation

Under this authorisation model, it may take two or three administrators to affect a password reset.

Any administrator with creator or creator/authoriser access can create a user security task. This task must be fully authorised before it takes effect. For password resets, whoever fully authorises the task must notify the user of their new password.

The usual local/super administrator rules apply to authorising user security tasks. This means, for example, if a super administrator creates a reset password task, a local administrator cannot authorise it and give the user their new password.

Each user can have only one user security task in the workflow at a time, so always authorise tasks promptly.

If a user phones the Corporate Help Desk for a password reset while an unauthorised or partly authorised user security task is in the workflow, the help desk can override that task and perform a password reset (e.g. if you cannot find an administrator to authorise the task).

As you can see, nil authorisation is the most convenient and most efficient authorisation model for user security.

To change the authorisation, model your organisation uses for user security, ask your Westpac representative for a Corporate Online Organisation Amendment Form (Applications and Features).


Setting up user security only administrators (e.g. for help desks) It is not possible to set up administrators who have access only to the user security features.

However, if you set up a local administrator as a creator only with access to no offices, then that administrator can perform the user security functions such as resetting passwords under a nil authorisation model. This may be appropriate if your organisation wants a user(s) to be able to do Corporate Online password resets and security keyword resets, but not administer Corporate Online.

Creator only local administrators with no offices would still be able to view user and account details but would not be able to amend them. They would still be able to create amend user tasks, but these would require authorisation under your administration authorisation model.

Managing and enabling tokens for your users Corporate Online allows administrators to enable tokens for their users. You can enable any Corporate Online token you have on hand that isn’t currently enabled for another user.

The ability to enable tokens means you can swap tokens between users and re-use tokens that you retained from users that no longer needed them (e.g. because they’re leaving your organisation or changing job roles).

Be sure to keep any spare tokens in a secure place.

If you create a new user or amend a user’s access but don’t have a token to enable for them, you always have the option to request Westpac issue a new token for that user.

Procedure: Enabling a token Use this procedure to enable a token you’ve just issued to a user. You can use this procedure to enable tokens you have on hand or tokens sent to you by Westpac, including tokens for new or amended users and replacement tokens (for tokens due to expire).

To perform this procedure, you’ll need creator and authoriser access to Administration and a user role of either Super administrator or Local administrator.



Corporate Online displays the Manage users screen.



2. Select the user you’re enabling the token for, then click Token security.

Corporate Online displays the Token security screen.

This screen shows the details of this user’s current token.

3. Enter the serial number from the back of the token you have issued to this user.


Select the reason for the replacement, then click Enable token.

Corporate Online creates an Enable token task for the selected user.

What happens next depends on the authorisation model you are using for user security.

This task must now be fully authorised. See Procedure: Authorising or rejecting a task on page 130

4. When the Enable token task is fully authorised, Corporate Online displays a confirmation.


Notify your user that they can now user their new token.

The next time the user signs in to Corporate Online, they will need to activate their token by setting their token password (see Introducing Corporate Online).

5. Click Continue.

Resetting user passwords If a user fails to enter a correct password on three successive attempts, Corporate Online will lock their customer number until their password is reset as a security measure.

Corporate Online allows administrators to reset user passwords (within the restrictions of your organisation’s user security authorisation model). Your users may also call the Corporate Help Desk to request a sign-in password reset, if an administrator is not available.

Your organisation’s security policy should describe how you go about verifying the identity of a Corporate Online user requesting a password reset.

When a reset password task is fully authorised, Corporate Online issues a temporary user password which your user will need to use to sign in to Corporate Online. They will then have to enter a new user password before they can access Corporate Online.

Users who have a token may reset their own password using the “Forgotten your password” link found on the Corporate Online sign-in page.

Token passwords must always be reset by calling the Corporate Help Desk.

Procedure: Reset a user password Use this procedure to reset a user password.

To perform this procedure, you need creator or creator/authoriser access to Administration.

Before you begin, verify the identity of the user requesting the password reset, as per your organisation’s security policies.




Corporate Online displays the Manage users — List of user’s page.

Hint: Use the searching and sorting features to find the user requesting the password reset.

2. Select the user requesting a password reset, then click User security.

Review the details of the user to confirm this is the user you want to reset the sign-in password for. You may authorise this task by clicking Authorise now.



4. When the task is fully authorised, Corporate Online displays a password reset confirmation screen. For example:

Notify your user of the temporary sign in password displayed on the confirmation screen.


Your user will need to enter this temporary password number twice, once to sign in and once when Corporate Online prompts them to enter a new password.

It is a good idea to either have the user write the new password down, or, if they’re on the phone, stay on the line with them until they have changed their password successfully and can access Corporate Online.

The sign-in password must be entered in the same way as it is displayed. UPPER CASE letters must be entered in UPPER CASE.

5. When your user is successfully signed in, click Continue.

Resetting user security keywords Corporate Online allows administrators to reset the security keyword for a user. Your users may also call the Corporate Help Desk to request a security keyword reset, if an administrator is not available.

When a reset security keyword task is created it does not require authorisation. Corporate Online clears the record of the last held security keyword for the user and they will then have to enter a new security keyword the next time they sign-in to Corporate Online.

Procedure: Reset a user security keyword Use this procedure to reset a user security keyword.

To perform this procedure, you need creator or creator/authoriser access to Administration and a user role of either Super administrator or Local administrator.

Before you begin, verify the identity of the user requesting the security keyword reset, as per your organisation’s security policies.



Corporate Online displays the Manage users — List of users page.


2. Select the user requesting a password reset,

then click User security.



3. Click Reset security keyword.

Corporate Online resets the security keyword for the selected user and displays a confirmation screen. The selected user will be prompted to establish a new security keyword the next time they sign-in to Corporate Online.

4. Click Continue from the confirmation screen


Locking and unlocking users Locking users is an easy way to temporarily suspend a user’s access to Corporate Online for security reasons. A user that is “locked” cannot access Corporate Online.

Typical reasons for locking a user include:

suspending a user’s access while they are on leave

suspending a user’s access while they are under investigation.

It is important to remember that while a user is locked, your organisation is still charged a fee for that user’s access to Corporate Online. For this reason, if a user is leaving your organisation or going on extended leave (e.g. twelve months maternity leave), you should delete them from Corporate Online rather than just locking them. However, always balance this against the effort of having to recreate them and their access when they return.

Procedure: Locking a user Use this procedure to lock a user’s Corporate Online access.




Corporate Online displays the Manage users — List of users page. For example:


2. Select the user you need to lock out of Corporate Online,




3. Click Lock user.

Corporate Online display the Instructions screen.

6. Click Continue.

Corporate Online locks the user and denies them access to Corporate Online.

Procedure: Unlocking a user Use this procedure to unlock a user’s access.

If the user is locked because of too many unsuccessful sign in attempts, you cannot unlock them: you must reset their password. See Procedure: Reset a user password on page 93.

Note: You cannot unlock a user that has been locked by Westpac. Please contact us for further information.




Corporate Online displays the Manage users — List of users page. For example:

Adding and Managing Accounts

Manage accounts provides a convenient way to add and amend the accounts you’re using in Corporate Online.

Adding accounts held with Westpac Australia Manage accounts allows you to add accounts held with Westpac Australia that are owned by your organisation or a third party under a Corporate Online Third-Party Master Agreement to Corporate Online without any paperwork. You can assign these Westpac Australia accounts to users and groups in the same process as adding them to your organisation.

You can also add accounts owned by a third party, but the account holder(s) will need to complete a Corporate Online Third-Party Access Authority for these accounts before Westpac can add them to your Corporate Online. You can print this authority after fully authorising the task adding them.

What is a third-party account?

When adding an account to Corporate Online, an account is considered a third party account if the organisation adding the account to Corporate Online is a different legal entity to the legal entity that owns the account.

Accounts owned by subsidiaries are considered third party accounts even if the subsidiary is fully owned because the subsidiary is a separate legal entity to the parent legal entity.

If you are unsure why Corporate Online is describing an account as a third-party account, please discuss this with your Westpac representative.

How do I add accounts held with Westpac New Zealand, Westpac Papua New Guinea, Westpac Fiji or Alliance banks?

To add accounts held with Westpac New Zealand, Westpac Papua New Guinea, Westpac Fiji or held with Alliance banks, complete a Corporate Online Organisation Amendment form, available from your Westpac representative. See Amending your organisation’s setup on page 31.

Amending account access Amending account access allows you to change the account descriptions used in Corporate Online, the Bank statement delivery method and which applications and features the account is enabled for (e.g. Accounts, Payments, Stop cheques).

You can amend which account groups an account is included in, but not which users have access to an account group. Use Manage user to assign account groups to each user individually (see Procedure: Amending a user on page 60). To create a new group, see Procedure: Amending an office on page 48.

You can also assign an account as a payment account to any user that already has access to at least one payment account. Use Manage user to assign the first payment account to a user (see Procedure: Amending a user on page 60).


Account statement delivery methods – stop receiving statements by mail

If your organisation has access to an account statement via Corporate Online, you may choose to amend the delivery method of that bank statement to Online only to stop receiving paper copies in the mail. Alternatively, the bank statement delivery method can be reinstated from Online only to Mail and Online.

Requests to alter the above delivery methods in Corporate Online must be fully authorised by the second Friday of each month and take effect from the start of the next month*. Requests received after this date will be processed at the end of the following month.

Changes to delivery method are not connected to the statement frequency. For example, if a statement is issued daily, it will continue to be issued daily until the change request is processed.

* requests received during the month of December are processed at the end of January.


Procedure: Adding accounts held with Westpac Australia Use this procedure to add accounts held with Westpac Australia or a third party under a Corporate Online Third-Party Master Agreement (e.g. trading bank accounts, cheque accounts, term deposits, foreign currency accounts) to your Corporate Online setup.

For accounts held with Westpac New Zealand, Westpac Papua New Guinea or with Alliance banks, see Amending your organisation’s setup on page 31.

Choose the delivery method for this bank account statement.

If this account is closed, you will not be able to amend the delivery method.

Note: Available on accounts held with Westpac in Australia only, excluding Term deposits.

Local administrators cannot access the Details sub-task.

Online Accounts groups (Amend account sub-task)

The Online Accounts groups sub-task allows you to assign an account to any of the existing account groups (of the correct currency).

The left-hand pane contains a list of all possible account group/office combinations that this account has not yet been assigned to.

Users with access to an accounts group will not see the amended account list until the next time they sign in to Accounts. Any export schedules or print schedules reporting on amended groups will report on the amended group list in the next reporting cycle.

Local administrators can only assign an account to groups if the selected account has previously been assigned to a group in one of the offices they have access to (see Local and super views on page 18)


Online Payments users (Amend account sub-task)

The Online Payments users sub-task allows you to assign the account as a payment account to users.

The sub-task screen shows all the valid user/office pairs for the selected account. This includes all possible combinations where:

the user has access to the Payments application AND

the office has access to the Payments application AND

the user has access to the office.

When a user/office pair is assigned, that user can use the selected account in that office.

Local administrators can only assign a payment account if the selected account has previously been assigned as a payment account at least once in one of the offices they have access to (see Local and super views on page 18).


Managing Billing Statements Manage billing statements is a convenient way to assign user access and amend the details (description and delivery options) for a billing statement.

To add a new billing statement reference or to delete an existing one from your Corporate Online setup, ask your Westpac representative, who will arrange it. No forms are required.

Billing statement user access

Each billing statement arrangement is identified by a unique statement reference number that can be assigned to individual users by your Corporate Online Administrators. Once they have access to a billing statement arrangement, a user can view and export all the historical billing statement data available for that arrangement.

Unlike accounts or services, billing statements are not managed via an office nor are they included in account groups.

Billing statement delivery methods – stop receiving statements by mail

If you access a billing statement via Corporate Online and that billing statement is in your name, you may choose to amend the delivery method of that statement to stop receiving paper copies of it by mail.

You can request a change to your billing statement’s delivery method (e.g. to reinstate the mailing of billing statements) at any time, but in order to alter the delivery method of the current month’s billing statement, you must fully authorise the request to amend the delivery method prior to the 25th day of each month.

Changing how you receive your billing statements does not affect your bank account statements: Westpac bank account statements will continue to be sent by mail.

Managing Payment Services Manage payment services is a convenient way to manage which users can access a payment service. It is especially useful for assigning a new service to a group of users in one task.

To add a new payment service or delete an existing one from your organisation, you need to complete a form supplied by your Westpac representative. See Amending your organisation’s setup on page 31.

Procedure: Amending access to a payment service Use this procedure to create a task to amend the existing access of a payment service.


Warning: When amending access to a payment service, always check that your organisation will still have enough valid users with the relevant access to process payments and files. This is especially important if you are removing access to a service.

For example, to use a service you need a creator and enough authorisers, all of whom have access to the service, the office, and who can complete the processing of the payment file under your security model. Removing any one of these components from the last valid user could mean your organisation cannot process payment files.


1. From the left-hand navigation menu, select Administration > Manage > Payment services.

Corporate Online displays the Manage payment services — List of payment services screen.


2. Select the payment service you want to amend the access for then click Amend payment service access.

Authorising or rejecting Administration tasks Corporate Online restricts what tasks you can authorise according to your organisation’s authorisation model, your authority level, and the security options.

For some tasks (e.g. create user, create office, add 3rd party account), the administrator who fully authorises the task has additional duties to perform. These are listed at the end of the procedure.

Corporate Online will delete any unauthorised tasks that haven’t been worked on for 30 calendar days. Corporate Online sends all administrators in your organisation a secure message to warn them of the deletion 7 calendar days prior.

For more information on working with tasks and sub-tasks in the Administration workflow, see Administration tasks and workflows starting on page 27.

Procedure: Authorising or rejecting a task Use this procedure to authorise or reject an Administration task.

To perform this procedure, you need authoriser access to Administration. For Office tasks, you need Super administrator access.

Your user role (e.g. primary or secondary) may mean you cannot authorise a particular task, depending on who created it, who first authorised it, and your organisation’s authorisation model. See Dual Authorisation Security Options: Who can authorise? on page 13.

Tasks created by a local administrator must be authorised either by a super administrator or a local administrator with at least the same access as the creator. See Administrator roles on page 16.

Start from anywhere in the Administration application.

1. From the left-hand navigation menu, select Administration > Authorise.

Corporate Online displays the Authorise — Tasks requiring authorisation screen.

2. Select the type of task you want to authorise

Reporting Administration reporting allows you to create reports on entities in your administration setup such as offices, users, accounts, and even your organisation. Pending tasks that have not been fully authorised are not included in reports.

Before creating and viewing reports, it may be beneficial to review Introducing Corporate Online setups on page 6.

After you create a report (Reporting on page 135), Corporate Online delivers it for viewing ( Procedure: Viewing, printing and saving a report on page 137). The report remains available for the retention period set when the report was created.

Corporate Online delivers reports as PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format) files and/or CSV (Comma Separated values) for printing, saving to a local or network drive, or emailing.

Account group An account group is a logical view used to segregate access to transaction and balance information from one or more bank accounts of like currency within an office in a Corporate Online setup.

Account segmentation Account segmentation is a group of Accounts features that allow a single Westpac account to be viewed as a collection of meaningful segments. It works in a very similar way to a simple column cash-book. The underlying account is unchanged; the segments are seen only if the account is viewed with the account segmentation features.

Accounts (application) Accounts is a Corporate Online application that provides features to view, export, and report on account information including transactions, balances and voucher images.

Activating (a token) Activating a token is when a user signs in to Corporate Online with their token for the first time and sets their token password.

Administration (application) Administration is a Corporate Online application that allows administrators to manage a Corporate Online setup, including the creation of users, on behalf of an organisation.

Administrator pack An administrator pack is a pack containing a token distribution letter and one or more tokens; it is sent to the nominated administrator each time new users are created or existing users are amended and consequentially require a token.
