Bulk payments
Our bulk payments feature allows you to create and release multiple payments at once. You can create bulk payments in two ways:
- Uploading a file: can be either CSV or BACS files (for local UK payments), with a limit of 1,000 entries per file. You can only upload files through our web app
- Manually: by selecting multiple existing recipients and choosing the amounts to send to each. This is available in our web and mobile app
To make a bulk payment, go to 'Transfers' on the main menu, and click 'Send bulk'.
Revolut CSV template
Revolut accepts CSV files under a certain format. To know which columns are needed, you can download our template that clearly indicates which fields to fill in for each payment.
- Columns vary by destination (country and currency) of payment. For example, beneficiary address is needed for currencies such as USD, CAD
- Indicate the beneficiary type: ‘Company’ or ‘Individual’
- A file can contain payments to several destinations. Only fill the required columns for each destination
Limitations of bulk payments
- It’s not possible to make bulk payments to recipients identified by Revtags
- It’s not possible to create recipients in batch via bulk without actually making a payment to them
Making salary payments via bulk payment
If you use bulk payments to make salary payments, you might need to keep the salary information protected from others who have access to your Revolut Business account.
However, it’s not possible to make a bulk payment into one transaction — each payment in the bulk will show as individual transaction in your account. Therefore, each salary payment will be visible within your Revolut Business account.
You can create a separate account — in the currency of your salary payments — and make it private. Restricting access to this separate account exclusively to employees who process payroll data means that the salary information will remain private.
