Error reported when uploading a payment file
Is the uploaded file in the correct format? (refer to step Error! Reference source not found.)
Is there a validation error in the upload file? Make sure that the upload file conforms to the ‘Mass
Payments – Standard File Format Guide’
Note: Excel files can be problematic due to formatting being accidentally overridden with common
functions such as copy/paste.
IBAN number in the payment file has zeros after the 15th digit (Excel only)
For cells in Number format, Excel can’t handle more than 15 digits per cell, and so when these numbers
are entered, Excel stores the first 15 digits and replaces all remaining digits with zeros.
For example; the number 1234567891234567 is stored as 1234567891234560
But the Recipient Account Number/IBAN cells in the payment file template are in Text format, this
format can handle long numbers.
Please check that you have not inadvertently copied the IBAN from a spreadsheet where the number
was already incorrectly formatted.
| Please note: if you copy and paste numbers from a different area to these formatted cells, you’ll need to use Paste Special Values or Paste as Text to retain the Text format in the cells. |
Target Payment Date does not match the date provided in the payment file
Make sure that the date in the upload file is in YYYMMDD format.
Target Payment Date is reported to be not achievable
This can occur when the Target Payment Date provided in the upload file cannot be met. You can either:
- Ignore the warning and continue, the payment will automatically go out on the next available
payment date - Change the Target Payment Date to a later date in the payment file and upload the file again.
Retrieving a quote returns an error
- Is the quote been requested outside of the FX Market Hours? (Note: The FX market closes at 5pm
NY time on a Friday for the weekend) - Is there a same currency payment in the upload file (e.g. USD/USD)? If you have not specified that
you will be processing same currency payments during the registration process, then you will need
to contact customer support.
