Tip #1 – Always tick “Show all payee lines”

When creating a Direct Credit payment in ASB, you’ll see a checkbox that says:

“Show all payee lines on your statement.”

ASB Direct Credit payment screen showing the “Show all payee lines on your statement” checkbox selected.

✅ Tick this box every time.


Why this matters for Good Numbers

If you tick the box:

  • Each person you pay appears as a separate transaction in Good Numbers.
  • You can categorise each payment individually.
  • It’s much easier if you are mixing multiple categories of payment.

If you leave it unticked:

  • All payees come through as one single transaction.
  • You can only assign one category to the transaction.

When is this especially important?

This is critical when:

  • You’re paying multiple reimbursements at once
  • You’re paying a mix of volunteers, suppliers, and contractors
  • Payments relate to different projects or funding streams

In short: if the payments are for different purposes, you want them separated at the bank level.


A gentle note from Good Numbers

This feature isn’t ticked by default in ASB (and we wish it was!).

But making it a habit to tick it each time will save you time later when you’re coding your transactions in Good Numbers.
