Are you a business owner who makes regular payments to different suppliers and employees? Batch payments will transform your business operations, with TransferGo’s batch payments feature specifically designed to save you time, cut costs and improve operations efficiency.

Curious to learn more about batch payments? In this guide, we’ll uncover everything you need to know about batch payments including the batch payment meaning, whether batch payments are suitable for your business and how to use TransferGo batch payments for your business.

Ready to learn more? Let’s go.

What are batch payments? 

Paying everyone in your business individually takes a lot of time and effort. Imagine how great it would be to pay employees, investors and freelancers all in one go. Well, now you can. 

With batch payments, multiple transfers can be processed at the same time, thus saving you a heap of hassle and time in the process. In fact, with TransferGo’s batch payments, you can pay up to 50 people in 35+ currencies across 60+ countries at once.

What is batch payment processing?

Batch payment processing is the process of managing and executing multiple payments at once (as opposed to processing each payment individually).

The TransferGo batch payments feature opens up a world of possibilities for business owners, allowing them to pay multiple suppliers, employees and other recipients in one, simple-to-send, single batch payment. 

Are batch payments suitable for my small business? 

Absolutely! Whether you’re a sole trader or the director of a larger company, there are many ways in which batch payments can help streamline your business operations.

Pay salaries in one go

Let’s use a batch payment example. Say you’re a logistics company owner and you need to pay your fleet drivers each month. You can do this with batch payments—in fact, you can send up to 50 in one go. You can pay different amounts to each driver, too. 

Make payments for multiple suppliers

Your suppliers may be from different countries, in which case batch payments allow you to pay them all at once—with TransferGo, you can reach over 35 currencies in one single payment. 

Export payments from your accounting system

As a business owner, you may have accounting software that exports payments in a specific format. Batch payments allow you to import the payments without the manual palaver. 

How to use TransferGo batch payments for your business 

It’s simple—just follow these steps: 

  1. Log in to your TransferGo account and select the ‘Batch payments’ option at the top of your page
  2. Choose the country you’re sending from
  3. Type in the details of new receivers—you’ll need their first and last names, bank details (IBAN or credit / debit card) and the countries/currencies you’re sending to
  4. Enter the amount you want to send to each receiver, and in what currency 
  5. Review your transfer summary
  6. Send and track your transfer

Once your payment’s been sent, you can repeat your payment for next time. Or if you need to make changes to future payments, you can adjust the amounts, receivers and currencies all from your account. It’s easy!

There are many benefits of using batch payments for your business. Here are some of the ways they can benefit your business:

Simplify payroll with one-click salary payments

Batch payments allow you to pay salaries in bulk, making payment processing more efficient and saving you valuable time and effort. One-click salary payments also reduce the likelihood of errors and improve cash flow management.

Manage multiple supplier payments efficiently

Batch payments streamline the payments process, allowing you to schedule, make and manage multiple supplier payments safely and efficiently.

Seamlessly export payments from your accounting system

Some accounting software systems provide the option to export multiple payments in a specific format all in one go. However, the TransferGo batch payments feature is so simple to use that there’s no need for accounting system integrations. That’s why our set-up costs stay free.

Save time and reduce errors with bulk transactions

Inputting your recipient’s name and details manually every time you need to make a payment is time-consuming and can often lead to mistakes. TransferGo’s batch payment tool takes away manual input requirements, reducing the risk of making errors when making transactions. 

Improve cash flow management for your business

Since batch payments can be scheduled in advance, they can help businesses manage cash flow more efficiently. They also help to avoid late payments by ensuring recipients are paid on time.

Enhance transparency and tracking for all payments

As batch payments organise all payments in a clear and organised way, it makes it easy for senders to view and access information on all payments at once. With TransferGo batch payments, you can track your payments from the moment they leave your account to the moment they arrive with your recipient.

Lower transaction costs with bulk payments

TransferGo’s batch payments are charged as a single payment, no matter how many individual transactions it includes. The cost will, however, vary depending on the exchange rate of the currency you’re using and the currency you’re paying to your receivers but rest assured, conversion costs stay low.

Improve financial planning with scheduled batch payments 

When you make scheduled batch payments, you can plan and organise your payments better, ultimately giving you more control and visibility over your business finances.
