Bulk Payments

Home » Blog » Bulk Payments

A bulk payment is a payment created from a bulk list – so it’s a payment to multiple beneficiaries from a single debit account. It will show as one debit on your bank statement.

EFT is suitable for businesses who need to make high volume domestic payments to suppliers and /or staff.

Main features include:

• Convenient, cost effective and secure way to make regular payments such as wages or supplier payments
• Time efficient means of processing payments as it allows you to store beneficiary bank account details so you do not have to re-enter these each time a payment is made
• Credits and debits are made a the same time so there is no loss of float
• Payments are automated which ensures a full audit trail helping businesses stay in control of their payments.
