Import recipient

In addition to the methods described in section Recipients, recipients can also be directly imported from external files. This process supports the CSV format, meaning a text file where the values are delimited by a specific character. You can import SEPA, DTAZV and DTAUS recipients, as well as SEPA mandates.

For SEPA the fields Name, IBAN/Account number, BIC/Sort code and Intended purpose can be imported, for mandates Display name, Payee, Creditor-ID, Payer, IBAN/Account number, BIC/Sort code, Intended purpose, Mandate reference, Mandate signing date, Debit type and Sequence type. In the CSV file, the data for the following fields must be available in certain formats or abbreviations, respectively.

For DTAZV the fields Name, Name 2, Street, Place, Country, IBAN/Account number, BIC/Sort code and Intended purpose can be imported, for DTAUS Name, Account number and Sort code.

Please note that already existing data records are not imported again. Moreover, lines with invalid bank data are not imported. As it is the case when recipients and payments are entered manually, bank data is also verified during import procedures. However, this can be disabled in the preferences under Payment recording. Independently of this, bank codes and BIC IDs are always checked for a valid format.
