Import Recipient

During the process of creating new ACH payments, you can add recipients to a payment by importing the details from an external file. To use this feature, an import profile must have been previously created for recipients.

The Import Profiles page displays a recipient import profiles list for the payment type to be created. To import the recipient, you select the profile from the list and click Import.

When you choose the import option, the Import Recipient page initially requests that you select an import profile. After selecting the profile and clicking Select, more options appear.
