Online SEPA XML message generator for business payments orders and direct debits orders help


Setting Remark
CSV data After you have converted an Excel file into a CSV file, you must upload the data. If you use the Firefox 3.6 or Google Chrome 7.0 browser you can load the CSV file using the "Upload the CSV file" functionality. With other browsers, this functionality is not shown. In the latter case you must open the CSV file with the Notepad program and then copy the entire content. Then paste the content into the CSV data entry field.

The CSV data contains one or more lines which are called items.

CSV data example with 2 items:
Greenpeace;5.00;NL31INGB0000000044;INGBNL2A;1234-4321-5678-8765;Next line
Greenpeace Donation;Jollemanhof 15-17;1019 GW Amsterdam
Bakkerij Top;135.20;NL91ABNA0417164300;ABNANL2A;;Next line
Jubilee Klaasen;Zuiddijk 17;1501 CA Zaandam

  • Name payer / name beneficiary (Max 70 characters)
    The name payer / name beneficiary is mandatory.
    For business payments, it is the beneficiary name.
    For direct debits, it is the payers name.

  • Amount (Max 999999999999999999 euros)
