Step 1: Upload the XML file

Single payment is the default option on the Payment page. The input elements for Batch payment are arranged in the bottom part of the screen.

• To upload your XML file for a batch payment, select the Batch payment option.
• Click Browse (or Choose file, depending on the browser you are using).
• Navigate to the XML file on your computer and select it.

The file name (and the full path, if you are using Internet Explorer) is displayed.

• Optionally, you can enter a deferred execution date for your debit orders; see Step 1: Select the account number and enter the application number under Single payment.
• To proceed, click Continue.

The XML file is uploaded to Online Fee Payment for validation. This can take up to five minutes, depending on the number of transactions in your batch payment.

The XML file will not be validated if

• the maximum number of transactions exceeds 13 000
• it contains incorrect data or
• it does not conform to the structure required by Online Fee Payment.

The validation process stops and an error message to that effect is displayed.
