How to set up and export bank files

Last updated: 18 August 2026

Overview

Once payroll has been processed, you can generate bank files directly from the payroll system to facilitate salary payments to your employees. The system consolidates payments across the relevant pay runs within the payroll cycle and allows you to generate the appropriate GIRO or FAST bank file, depending on your company's bank setup and the payment method supported by your bank. The downloaded file can then be uploaded to your bank's corporate banking portal for review, approval and payment processing.
