Business Internet Banking vs. Regular Internet Banking
MyState’s Business Internet Banking contains additional functionality that Personal Internet Banking does not offer including creating batch payments and adding delegated users to name a few. Not all Business Banking customers need this additional functionality, therefore our regular internet banking may be a better option.
If you are unsure which solution you need, let us know and we will be able to answer any questions you have.

Delegated User Management
Delegated User Registration
To provide access to Business Internet Banking to a delegated user, both the Administrator and Delegated User need to complete the Delegated User Registration Form. To activate, this form needs to be returned with identification, to a MyState Branch by the Delegated User.
Delegated User Cancellation
To cancel a Delegated User's access, you will need to cancel the users access under the 'Manage Users' panel in Business Internet Banking. You will then need to complete the Delegated User Cancellation Form and return to your nearest MyState Branch.
For more information view the User Guide, available for download on this support page.
Second Factor Authentication
MyState Business Internet Banking has been designed to provide you with safe, secure online banking through SMS Second Factor Authentication.
Second Factor Authentication is an additional layer of security which is activated when you perform Internet Banking Transactions that carry an increased risk. For example, when you complete a high-value transaction or make your first transfer to a new payee.
Second Factor Authentication provides a unique SMS security code that you can use in addition to your customer number, username and password for safe and secure account access.
When you make a transaction that requires Second Factor Authentication you will be prompted to obtain Further Authentication by clicking on the ‘Get SMS Code’ button. Automatically an SMS will be sent to your mobile number containing a six digit authentication code. Simply enter that code where required on your Business Internet Banking session and your transaction will be authenticated.

- Batch Processing – this function allows the user to combine multiple transactions from a one account into a single transaction.

Roles need to be created for Delegated Users before they can be added as new users.
To create a Role navigate to Manage>>Delegated Users>>Roles and click on ‘New Role’, then create the Role by adding the required information and setting access permission levels and transactional limits.
Under Manage>Delegated Users tab there is a ‘Users’ menu which allows the editing and management of the selected ‘Delegated User’ access. You can delete, edit, block and unblock employees through this function.
Yes. A Delegated User can still access their Personal Internet Banking, because when they log-in as a Delegated User to Business Internet Banking they are using the Administrator’s customer number, not their own.
This screen prompts the user to gain an authorisation for the transaction before it can be processed. If authorisation is unable to be attained, the transaction will be visible in the Authorise Transactions screen until it has been authorised and sent.
The ‘Many to Sign’ function allows you to decide how much authorisation is required on particular accounts or transactions, or to set all accounts and transactions to a certain number of users to authorise.
Batch processing allows you to combine several Internet Banking transactions into a single transaction. You can set up a Payment Batch to be posted immediately or for a specified future date.
You can navigate to Batch Payment from Transfer & Pay >>Batch>>Batch Payments menu and create a new Batch using Templates or your can edit an existing Batch Template to suit your needs.
- Using a File -when you select this option you will be prompted to upload a Cemtex ABA file which will populate the appropriate Batch details
- New – select this option to create a Batch from start to finish
Batch processing allows you to combine several Internet Banking transactions into a single transaction. You can set up a Payment Batch to be posted immediately or for a specified future date.
A Cemtex ABA file is used by banks to allow for Batch Transactions and has specifications issued by the Australian Bankers Association.
To post a Batch fill all mandatory details in ‘Create a new batch payment’ screen and proceed till ‘Post batch payment’ screen and then click on ‘Post now’ button.
If an immediate Batch fails due to insufficient funds in ‘Source Account’, an error message will be displayed stating ‘Insufficient fund in the from account’.
If a Batch Fails mid-process, a Secure Message will be sent including details of which payees in the Batch were processed. You will need to create an alternate Batch for the payees from the first Batch that were not processed. If you attempt to repost the original Batch, payees who have already been processed will be processed again. If a future dated Batch fails a Secure Message will be sent including details of the failure.
