For each person you wish to include in a Multi Payment transaction, you will need to create a Payee record that defines the account information needed for the payment.
Payees can be created for a single Multi Payment transaction, or attached to a Multi Payment template for re-use. You can also use payees that are listed on the Payees tab (available from the Transfer & BPAY menu).
To add a Multi Payment/template payee:
- Click the Add Payee button - this appears on a number of screens depending on how you have initiated your Multi Payment.
- Enter a Personalised Payee Name - this could be a name or label that will help you to identify this payee, e.g. Telstra Home.
- Enter the BSB of the payee’s bank - this number identifies the bank, building society or credit union to which the payment will be made. The BSB needs to be 6 digits long.
- Enter the payee’s Account Number - this will be a maximum of 9 digits.
- Enter the payee’s Account Name - this is the name of the account the funds are being transferred to.
- Enter the Regular Payment Amount - the amount to be used for this transaction.
- Enter a Reference for the payee - this can be no more than 18 characters and can include numbers or letters. The payee will use this reference to identify your payment.
