SD Agreement Number’s are associated with a Receivables Settlement Account and a Payables Settlement Account. The agreements listed in this section are associated with your ScotiaConnect service.
Note: The SD Agreement Number is used by ScotiaConnect to receive your EFT reports. If your Receivable Settlement account number is different than your Payable Settlement account number. All EFT reports for “both” Settlement accounts will be delivered to that same Agreement Number and thus will be viewable by the same user from the EFT Reports Menu. If you have multiple Agreement Numbers, It is recommended that you have the bank setup all your Agreement numbers with both the Receivable and Payables Settlement Account Numbers as the same account number. This way you will create a 1 to 1 relationship between your SD Agreement Number and your Account Number. This force all reports for a single Bank Account Number to go to a single SD Agreement Number. This make it so a user who has a access to a specific SD Agreement Number will only see reports for the Settlement Accounts that they have the rights to view.
