SEPA BANK FILE CHANGES TO SEPA CREDIT TRANSFER WITH AIB AND BANK OF IRELAND FROM NOV 2023

SUGGESTED

Dear Sage,

We use the facility for some of our clients to create weekly , bi-monthly and monthly bank transfers. 

I note from recent correspondence from AIB & BOI they will be rolling out something in the coming weeks. 

I wanted to check if we need to do anything on our side in relation to these to ensure our staff are paid on a timely manner. 

Currently with AIB we select the day before we want the wages to hit the employees bank accounts.

With BOI I note the files are named File 1 or File 2 and executed for payment date.

Regarding AIB should we consider renaming our XML files? IS there somewhere in SAGE we can test the files ?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

CF

    Hi CF,

    Thanks for using Sage City.

    We’re aware of these changes, and our Product Developers are working with the relevant banks to implement them. We’ll implement the changes in Sage Payroll via software updates, as required.

    Until these changes are in place, you can can continue to upload files in the current format, or make the necessary changes to put them in the new format. As this is a phased approach, both formats will be supported and available on the AIB website until November 2025.

    We’ll keep you informed about these changes and other changes to Sage Payroll via email comms and updates on our Help Centre.
