Ebury offers the ability to upload multiple beneficiaries in one shot.

Go to Add beneficiary and select from file



Then, download the sample in .csv and fill the .csv as per the below instructions.

  • Beneficiary name with no special characters "#~$%€&¬]Ǩ}@

    • & must be replaced by "and"

  • Beneficiary Address: Full beneficiary address with no special characters "#~$%€&¬]Ǩ}@ - Avoid adding the country into the column B "beneficiary address"

  • Beneficiary country and beneficiary bank country: Two letters of the country of the beneficiary (or the bank). ES for Spain, CN for China, US for the USA, FR for France. This is the alpha-2 code

  • Payment currency: The currency that will be sent to that beneficiary

  • IBAN: to be written without blank spaces and/or hyphens. Find out more about IBAN structure and mandatory IBAN countries in this website.

  • When European IBAN's have been added into Column E there is no need to add the account number in Column F

  • Account number: to be filled if the country does not have mandatory IBAN

  • For payments to UK - in those cases we must insert IBAN+ACCOUNT NUMBER+SWIFT+SORT CODE

  • SWIFT codes must be added

  • Sort code must be written without blank spaces or hyphens and are just numbers. This column can be filled if there is an specific bank code apart from the SWIFT: only for certain currencies (Sort code- GBP, IFSC-INR, ABA/Routing-USD, BSB-AUD). If there is no specific bank code, leave this column blank

  • No need to fill bank name and bank address, leave them blank

  • If you need to add an intermediary bank, the beneficiary needs to be added manually

  • Beneficiary reference will be permanent and included in the MT103 (payment instruction). If it's not needed for the payment's credit better leave it blank.

  • Reason for payment and purpose of payment: to leave blank unless it's required by the currency i.e. CNY, INR

  • INN, VO, KIO, Russian central bank account: leave blank.
