Add Multi Payment Payee / Direct Debit Payer
For each person you wish to include in a Multi Payment transaction, you will need to create a Payee record that defines the account information needed for the payment.
Payees can be created for a single Multi Payment transaction, or attached to a Multi Payment template for re-use. You can also use payees that are listed on the Payees screen (available from the Transfer & PAY menu).
To add a Multi Payment/template payee:
- Click the Add Payee button - this appears on a number of screens depending on how you have initiated your Multi Payment.
- Enter a Personalised Payee Name - this could be a name or label that will help you to identify this payee, e.g. Telstra Home.
