Bank Payments
You can download bank payment files from Aqilla and upload them to your bank if the payment format is supported by Aqilla (or if you convert a format supported by Aqilla to your bank's format). Details of supported bank formats are provided below.
You can download bank payment files from Aqilla as described at Payments.
You should only attempt to convert files if you are are competent to do so. Note that MS Excel can corrupt bank files. For example, a concatenated sort code and account number - e.g. 12345612345678 - can be interpreted by MS Excel as a very long number and be stored using scientific notation (c.f. text). Aqilla Support cannot help you with conversion of files from one bank format to another (other than interpretation of this documentation).
