Multifactor Authentication Support for Bank Feeds in NetSuite

NetSuite 2026.1 introduces enhanced support for multifactor authentication (MFA) in bank feeds, ensuring greater security when importing financial data. Financial institution accounts requiring MFA, such as those using two-factor authentication (2FA) or one-time passwords, now integrate seamlessly with NetSuite’s banking functionalities.

What Changed?

With this new feature, additional verification is enforced for financial accounts during login and transactions. This means that when importing bank data, if the MFA token is invalid or has expired, the data import will fail until re-authentication is successfully completed. This ensures that sensitive financial data remains protected against unauthorized access.

Managing MFA in Bank Feeds

To effectively use MFA with bank feeds, administrators and users must be aware of how to reauthenticate when necessary. This can be done through the following steps:

1. Check Import Status: Navigate to Transactions > Bank > Banking Import History to verify which accounts require reauthentication.
2. Receive Notifications: Alerts will appear on the Match Bank Data page when a connection requires additional verification due to MFA issues.
3. Reauthenticate: Users can reauthenticate directly from the Match Bank Data page when prompted by an MFA warning banner by clicking on the "Renew connection" link.
4. Update MFA Token: To update the MFA token, go to the Connectivity Configuration subsection and click the Refresh icon in the Update MFA column.

Who This Affects

This enhancement primarily impacts:

• Administrators responsible for managing bank feed connections.
• Users who rely on bank feeds for automated financial data retrieval.

This valuable addition to bank feed functionalities emphasizes the importance of security in financial transactions, providing necessary safeguards in an increasingly digital landscape.

Key Takeaways:

• Enhanced multifactor authentication (MFA) support in bank feeds ensures greater security.
• Users must reenter login details when MFA tokens are invalid.
• Reauthentication can be managed efficiently from the Match Bank Data page.
• Alerts inform users about MFA-related connectivity issues.
