What's the difference between Internet banking and PC banking?

Most major banks offer a range of electronic banking solutions that can be divided into two groups: Internet banking and PC banking.

Internet banking

Internet banking is aimed at providing information for personal bank accounts, sole traders or Small Office Home Office. You access your personal bank account details on your bank's Internet banking website. The features available normally allow you to -

  • View your bank balance and statement
  • Make pre-defined bill payments
  • Initiate bank transfers

The service is secured through your user name and password, and all activity between your browser and the bank's web servers is encrypted.

PC banking

For business customers, most of the major banks in Ireland provide PC software. This software enables you to connect directly to the bank's private network and access your own bank account details.

This software normally allows you to -

  • Make single or batched payment instructions
  • Set-up and modify direct debit instructions
  • Make international payments
  • Undertake bank transfers as appropriate
  • Download balance information for reconciliation purposes

TAS creates a software module that acts as a link between your TASBooks program and the bank's software.

This link converts information between the software and then integrates your TAS software with the relevant bank's software.

With ePayments you can:

  • Control your cash flow - you know precisely which day a payment will be cleared from your account.
  • Make faster payments - no need to write out cheques and post them.
  • Save money - processing payments electronically is nearly always cheaper than the cheque method.
  • Be secure - no need to have cash on premises and no lost or stolen cheques.

Below are listed the banking software that is currently supported by TASBooks Two, TASBooks Three and the new FirstBooks and TASBooks, through TAS ePayments feature.

Each payment service has its own ePayments plug-in. Not all plug-ins are installed by TASBooks by default.

You can download the latest plug-in for your payment service.
