WageSlave

A toolkit for generating and working with bulk payment files in various banking formats.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'wage_slave', '~> 2.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install wage_slave

WageSlave can generate payment files in the following formats:

1. ABA / Cemtext (Australian Banks)

1. NZ-DE (New Zealand Direct Entry File Format)
2. IB4B (Bank of New Zealand)
3. More...

Configure your application with information relating to your financial institution. For Rails applications this should be kept in an initializer. Keep this information secure and out of version control.

WageSlave.configure do | config |
  config.financial_institution                  = "ANZ" # Name of your bank
  config.bank_code                              = "123-456" # i.e. BSB, Sort code etc
  config.user_id                                = "12345678" # i.e. CRN, Acc no. etc
  config.description                            = "A default description for all WageSlave transactions"
  config.user_name 								= "Username"
end

A bulk payment file that works with most Australian banks.

    
    # Build individual transactions
    transactions = [
        { name: "John Doe", account_number: "12345678", bsb: "999-999", amount: 5000 },
        { name: "Jane Doe", account_number: "87654321", bsb: "999-999", amount: 6000 }
    ]

    # Create an ABA object
    aba = WageSlave::ABA.new(transactions)

    # Print in ABA format
    # Validation errors will raise a RuntimeError when calling #to_s on an ABA object.
    aba.to_s
