How to export payroll payment files from common payroll tools

Most payroll providers let you export a payment file for a pay run. Download the file from your payroll software, then upload it to Mimo.

Supported file formats: BACS, TXT, CSV, XLSX

Xero Payroll

Go to Payroll → Pay employees. Open the posted pay run, then select Options → Export payment file.

BrightPay

Open Credit Transfers. Select the employees to include, click Bank File, choose the bank account and file format, then click Save.

QuickBooks Payroll

Go to Payroll → Payroll Settings. Under Business Management, select Data Extracts. Choose the data type/template and file format, then click Download.

Sage 50 Payroll

Go to File → Data Export. Select Payroll Data Export, then follow the prompts to choose what to export and where to save the file.

Employment Hero Payroll

Go to Pay Run, open the finalised pay run, then select Actions → Download Payment File.

Not using payroll software?

You can use Mimo’s template instead: Log in to Mimo, go to Pay, then select Payroll (top right). Click Download template, fill it in, and upload it back to Mimo.
