It has never been easy to pay to suppliers and bulk payments in QuickBooks Online.

Usually, there is a 9-digit number assigned to your bank. This 9-digit code helps you in identifying you bank on which the files are uploaded electronically. ABA file format is used to prepare electronic payment files.
