Batch files

Internet banking^TB allows you to send payment files containing SEPA payments (up to 500 payments in one file).

If you use accounting software, you can prepare files with payment instructions in XML format.
The XML file is supported in the pain.001 structure for SEPA payments with the priority standard and instant.

Important information:

From November 2026, it will no longer be possible to send payments with unstructured addresses.

Unstructured addresses in batches using the Pain.001.09 format are no longer supported and will be automatically removed from payments containing them during import.

Unstructured addresses in batches using the Pain.001.03 format will be automatically converted to a hybrid format. For smooth payment processing, we recommend switching to the Pain.001.09 format with structured addresses.
