Illustrated previews · Fictional sample data

01 / File overview

Understand the file at a glance.

See the full payment total, record count and processing date, alongside the file supplier, remitter and trace account details.

02 / Search & inspect

Find a payment. See every detail.

Search by name, BSB, account, description or code. Filter issues and payment types, see totals for the current view, then open a record for a closer look.

03 / Structural checks

Check the totals. Understand the issues.

Compare calculated credits, debits and net totals with the file’s Trailer. Review structural issues with expected and actual values. These checks do not guarantee bank acceptance.

04 / CSV & Excel export

Take your review into Excel.

Export all Detail records, including balancing and unclassified records. BSBs and account numbers retain their leading zeros, regardless of your current search or filters.

05 / Record inspection

Look inside the ABA structure.

Explore Header, Detail and Trailer records. See exact field positions, compare raw and interpreted values, and reveal the original record when you need it.

06 / File fingerprint

Identify the exact file you reviewed.

Copy a SHA-256 fingerprint for the original file bytes. Use it to compare file identity; it does not confirm payment correctness or bank acceptance.

What is an ABA File Viewer & Inspector?

Australian ABA payment files store each Header, Detail and Trailer record in an exact 120-character line. That fixed-width structure works well for bank systems but is difficult to read by eye. ABAFlow lets finance teams open, read and review an ABA file in a clear table while preserving the record values that are actually present.

What does ABAFlow show?

See Header details, payment records, record counts, Trailer totals, conservative balancing detection and structural issues.

Can I convert ABA to Excel?

Yes. Export every Detail record to CSV or a formatted Excel workbook while preserving BSBs and account numbers as text.

How your file is handled

Your file is sent to the ABAFlow inspection service to be read. It is processed in memory only, is not written to storage, and is not retained after the response is returned.

Questions

About inspecting an ABA file

Does the ABA File Viewer cost anything?

No. The ABA File Viewer & Inspector can be used without an account or charge.

Is my ABA file stored by ABAFlow?

No. Your file is sent to the ABAFlow inspection service, which processes it in memory only. It is not written to storage and is not retained after the response is returned. Export to CSV or Excel happens in your browser.

Is this the same way ABAFlow creates ABA files?

No. The Viewer is a read-only utility. ABAFlow's Spreadsheet → ABA converter uses secure server-side processing in Google Cloud Sydney for validation and ABA generation. Uploaded payment files are processed in memory and are not retained.

Does the Viewer guarantee my bank will accept the ABA?

No. It checks the ABA structure and internal consistency that ABAFlow supports; individual bank and service requirements can differ.

Can ABAFlow edit or repair the ABA?

No. The Viewer & Inspector is intentionally read-only. It explains issues but never silently changes, repairs or regenerates the file.

What does the SHA-256 fingerprint prove?

It identifies the exact file bytes. A changed file has a different fingerprint, but the fingerprint does not prove that payment details are correct or that a bank accepted the file.

Need to create a new ABA file?
