    Hello GasitAccounts15 

     

    Thank you for the additional information. Apologies for repeating myself but just to be clear - even if the numerical account number is correct, any spaces or other characters within that field would cause it to be read incorrectly. For example, assume . denotes a space and ... denotes that a tab.

     

    Account 111222333444, entered within the field as .111222333444, or 111222333444., or ...111222333444, or any combination of unnecessary spaces or tabs may cause this issue. Please do check the account number for any spaces, and run the .aba file through Notepad to see if anything in Line 39 is misaligned with the other lines that went through.

I have tried deleting the Employee Card details and re entering Bank Details.

The Bank Details are definitely correct  as I paid him directly yesterday.

I have checked my Account settings for my Bank.

I also tried to upload his ABA File again with only 1 record and it is saying invalid Account Number?
