Overview of CW33
The EFTS Report and File Generator (CW33) allows you to generate EFT files in ACH or SWIFT format within a certain date range and for a specified checking account. It displays a report of the selected bank wires. It also provides the option to run the process in preview mode, which only reports but does not generate EFT files. If you do elect to generate EFT files, CW33 allows you to output them to a specified server location, an FTP site, or an email address. The report output contains information such as wire number, wire date, payee name, routing number, bank account number, recipient bank name, format, transaction, source and wire amount.
