In Select Data screen that then displays,

In the field Provider, select the Nest Pension Provider

In the field Import Data Select Nest Opt-Out

 

 

4

In the field Data Retrieval From Date enter the date you wish to go back to (this is the last date + 1 you retrieved data). This will automatically get populated by FastTrack360 after the initial selection as the system will then know the last date that was retrieved.

You cannot go beyond 5 weeks prior to the current date.

In the field Data Retrieval To Date select the end date to when you want to retrieve to. Normally it would be the current date.

 

5

Click Import.

This will send a request to Nest to retrieve the data. This can take up to 24 hours depending on Nest process.

The system will automatically import and apply the opt out settings to the payee.

 

6

Check the status of the import as there could be failures. For example, the system will not apply the update if the payee is in an active pay batch. If there are failure, select the batch and re-import once the errors are resolved, the system will then attempt to apply the import again.
