If you want to use TransferMate in Bulk Payment, see Creating New Bulk Payments and Using Bulk Payment Approval.

TransferMate bank accounts should be set up in your company's base currency. If you want to be able to settle in multiple currencies, set up multiple accounts.
As when setting up regular bank accounts:
- Create a GL Account for the new TransferMate account.
- Go to Bank > Add New Bank to create a new bank account. Select the GL account you just created and add a name for the new TransferMate account (this could be just 'TransferMate').
- Under the Online Payments Gateway Settings section, click Set Online Payments Gateway. If you cannot see the Online Payment Gateway, please contact support at support@accountsiq.com and request to have it set up.
- Click the TransferMate logo.
- Enter your new TransferMate login details (provided when you signed up for the service) and click Login.
- After authentication via the TransferMate portal, select which bank account you wish to use to settle the cost of any FX payments runs. Click Accept. This links your new TransferMate bank account to the associated account on the TransferMate portal.
Info
If the account you wish to use to settle does not appear you will need to create this within the TransferMate portal before processing FX payment runs in the system.
- Back in the bank setup screen, click Save to create a new account in the system
