How to download UOB bank file

Modified on Tue, 13 Feb at 2:43 PM

UOB Bank  

Go to 
Payroll > Team Payroll > select any payroll, whether draft or complete > select Download Bank file.



Thereafter, there will be a pop up and you would need to complete the necessary fields: 

  • Account holder name: Company's name

  • Account number: 10-digit Account Number

  • Payment Mode: Giro Normal/ Giro Express/ FAST

  • Sequence Number: The batch number (e.g.: 01, 02 etc.)

  • Value Date: The date when the salary payments are effected by the bank



    Important Notes:

    • Change the Sequence Number accordingly (from 01, 02, 03, etc) before generating the file if you are submitting more than 1 file a day. This is necessary for the banks to identify the different files that you have submitted

    • Do not rename the generated Giro File. Renaming the file Giro File may lead to errors when uploading to the bank portals.

    • To better understand which file is better for you, kindly refer to:

      a. Bank File (FAST): Allows you to transfer funds between banks instantly. FAST payment is charged a more expensive rate compared to GIRO. FAST will show the breakdown of all employees' salaries in the bank statement and it might be a potential confidentiality issue.

      b. Bank File (GIRO): Most likely the preferred option because it shows 1 transaction line only in the bank statement for the whole batch payment.
