File Transfer Overview Tour

The File Transfer home page will display any File Transfer specific news or information. It also contains the System Availability, including deadlines for submitting files and the times when files are available for retrieval.

The Send Files screen is where you can send files to Key; download/view previously sent files; and view file status and history information.

To send a file, click on Send New File. Click Select File to choose the file you want to upload, the file type, and enter a file reference (memo). You can also check the Confidential File box if you want to prevent other users from downloading / viewing the contents of the file. Click Send to submit your file.

When sending an Automated Clearing House file, please enter the correct ACH Point for the file you are sending. The onboarding team will provide you with this information during file testing.

When sending an Account Reconcilement file, please enter the correct ARP Bank for the file. The onboarding team will provide you with this information during file testing.

To view the status of a file that has been sent or to view the history of the file, right click on a file and then click History.

The Retrieve Files screen is where you can retrieve files from Key; download/view previously retrieved files; and view file status and history information.

Files available from Key for downloading will be indicated as New in the Status column. Files that have been downloaded by other users at the company will be indicated as Downloaded in the Status column.

Files are available for downloading for 45 days. Files that have passed the 45 day retention period will be indicated as Expired in the Status column. The file’s record will remain in the system for 180 days from the original date and can be viewed by using the search filter.
