Export Payment Files from Payroll Software

Most payroll software providers allow you to export a payment file for payroll payments. These files contain the net wage amounts that employees should receive in their bank accounts. To export and upload payment files to Mimo, download the payroll file from your payroll software.

Here’s how to do it on some of the most common platforms:

Xero Payroll

In the Payroll menu, select “Pay employees.” Click the posted pay run period to view the payment file. Then, click “Options” and select “Export payment file.”

BrightPay

Go to the Credit Transfers tab. On the left side, select the employees you want to include. Then, click Bank File in the toolbar, choose the bank account and file format, and click Save.

QuickBooks Payroll

Select Payroll from the left-hand menu, then go to the Payroll Settings tab and choose Data Extracts under Business Management. Next, select the Data Type and template you’d like to download. Finally, choose the File format and click Download.

Sage 50 Payroll

Go to File and select Data Export. Choose Payroll Data Export and click Next. Select the company details you want to export and click Next. Choose the specific details to include and click Next again. Click Browse to select where to save the file, enter a file name, and click Save. Finally, click Next, Finish, and OK to complete the export.

Employment Hero Payroll

Click on the Pay Run menu, select the required finalised pay run, click the Actions tab, and then click the Download Payment File button.

Note: Mimo supports any uploaded payroll payment file, i.e., BACS, TXT, CSV, and XLSX formats.

Not Using Any Payroll Software?

You can download a template within Mimo if you’re not using payroll software.

Log in to the Mimo platform. Click “Pay” in the left-hand menu and “Upload Payroll” in the upper right corner. Click “Download the template,” fill in the required information, and upload it.
