CSV to ABA/Cemtex

This is a web-based tool for creating ABA/"Cemtex" files used by Australian banks for bulk payments.

You upload a CSV file in a simple format, and the website converts it to the ABA format.

This might be the right solution for you if you've ever asked any of the following questions:

  • How do I make payments to multiple people at once?
  • How do I automate payments for my business?
  • How do I transfer money from a bank account using an API?

Quickstart - Using Docker

Build it...

$ docker build -t aba .

Run it...

# run this if you're on macOS - your timezone will be set correctly
$ docker run --rm -ti -p 8000:8000 -e "TZ=$(readlink /etc/localtime | sed 's#/var/db/timezone/zoneinfo/##')" aba

# run this one if you're not (your time zone will be UTC, sorry)
$ docker run --rm -ti -p 8000:8000 aba

Open it...

Direct your browser to http://localhost:8000/

Done!
