Making Direct Entry Deposits to
Card Accounts
Every time a new Meal Entertainment Card is issued
under your facility, you will receive a notice from Westpac that
the card has been issued. This notice will include details of the
employee cardholder and the card number.
This information must then
be used to make the salary sacrifice deposits to the employee card
account via the direct entry system. The direct entry system is
an automated system commonly used for banking transactions in Australia
by many businesses.
It is important to note that the direct entry system is the only
way you can make deposits to card accounts.
To make deposits by direct
entry you need to enter the information outlined in the following
table in the screen used for making direct payments.
Please note that the format for direct
entry systems varies between the various providers and you should
consult your service provider if you have any difficulties.
