Here are solutions to the most common problems you might have uploading your batch file.
Batch payments are currently not available for Brazilian businesses.
Incorrect file format or size
Make sure you upload your batch file in either .CSV or .XLSX format. The file size can’t be larger than 5MB. You also can’t add more than 1,000 transfers or recipients in your batch file.
Wrong formatting or language
Make sure you haven’t changed headers filling in your template
Don’t use any special characters or punctuation — for example, commas in the Amount column
Check if you don’t exceed the maximum length of your payment reference
Cyrillic or Katakana characters in the file
Depending on the currency, you’ll need to write the recipient’s name in Katakana or Cyrillic. The letters may change to unknown characters because of format settings. To fix this, you’ll need to reopen your file and change the encoding setting to 65001: Unicode (UTF -8).
Your account isn’t verified
You need to verify your account, before you can use batch payments. Read about business verification.
If you still get error messages on your new file, make sure you’re using our template builder. This is especially important when you're using the Send to bank accounts template.
