Bulk Payment File – Setup

Home » Lessons » Bulk Payment File – Setup

Acquaint has the ability to create a bulk payment file that allows you to pay all landlords or contractors in bulk rather than one by one in your bank.

The increase in efficiency in processing rent is substantial when our clients have implemented this.

For example: If paying one landlord takes 3mins in the bank and you pay 50 landlords, this takes 150mins. You can upload one file in 3mins to pay these so that is 50x quicker.

Before we start :

In most cases you will require an OIN from the bank
You should be comfortable with processing transaction in Acq before setting this up
