Corporate Online allows you to export your payment details in a standard format:
Comma Separated Values (CSV)
The exported file may then be uploaded into your own system for reconciliation purposes.
Before you are able to export payment information, your Corporate Online Administrators
will need to assign you access to this feature.
This guide has been designed to give you a better understanding of the Comma Separated
Values (CSV) export format for payments.
