What's a batch payment template?

A batch template is a file you need to fill in with your recipients’ and transfer details. We’ve created different templates which you can download in .CSV or .XLSX file formats. You can then open and edit them using a spreadsheet app, such as Microsoft Excel or Numbers.

We have 3 types of templates:

  • Send by email

  • Send to saved recipients

  • Send to bank accounts

Batch payments are currently not available for Brazilian businesses.

Send by email

Use this template if you don’t know your recipients’ bank details. You need to add their email addresses to the template, along with the transfer amount and currency. Once you upload a template and pay for your batch, we’ll send each recipient a secure link to provide their bank details. They’ll have 1 week to enter their details before the link expires. If they don’t enter the details within a week, we’ll cancel and refund the payment.

Send to saved recipients

Use this template to send money to your saved recipients on Wise. We'll add their details automatically. The details will be filled in when you download the file. You can see all your recipients in the Recipients section here. Once you download the template, you can delete anyone from the file that you don’t want to include in the batch payment. You can’t send money to new recipients with this template.

Tip: If you get a “Missing recipient address” error after uploading your batch file, make sure to fill in the address information manually. You’ll only need to do this once. After the batch is created, we’ll add this information to your recipient records.

Send to bank accounts

This template lets you manually add recipients’ bank and transfer details. You can send money to one or multiple currencies. All recipients you pay to will automatically be saved in your Recipients list.
