Help/Payroll/Pay everyone in one go

Pay everyone in one go

Instead of transferring salaries one by one, download one file and upload it to your bank. It works with DBS IDEAL today, and pays each person into their bank account or by PayNow.

If someone is missing something, the page names them and what to fix before you can download.

Upload it to DBS IDEAL

The steps are on the page too:

Uploading it to DBS IDEAL: six steps, from File Management Center to approving with your DBS token.
The first time, tick Test file. It checks the file without moving any money. Open full size

Upload it about two working days before pay day, so GIRO has time to clear.

Questions

My bank is not DBS.

Every bank has its own file format, and DBS is the one built so far. Pay by transfer from the payslip figures for now, and tell us through Feedback which bank you use.

Can one file pay some people by PayNow and others to a bank account?

Yes. That is why you choose ALL – Universal File Format when uploading.
