About international payment templates

What is an international payment template?

International payments, also known as cross-border payments or telegraphic transfers, allows you to setup frequently used payment instructions to transfer funds from a single funding account to one or more nominated beneficiary accounts worldwide using an ANZ-supported and tradeable currency. International payments often involve two currencies where a foreign currency exchange rate is required.

Once successfully created, you can use the preconfigured template to create your payment instructions.

Payment template rules for international payments

  • Disable Beneficiary changes prevent users from adding or editing any beneficiaries when a payment is created from a template. If your organisation has enabled this product setting in Division Settings, then this indicator cannot be removed.
  • Fields marked with an asterisk (*) within a template are considered mandatory. Additional information can be added at time of payment, including value date, FX rate, additional information, supporting document, etc.
  • Confidential indicator will be enabled for selection for users with Confidential Payments entitlements.
  • Individual Debits indicator will be enabled for selection when two or more beneficiaries have been added to the payment template.
  • Foreign Currency: The exchange rate cannot be provided within a template but only shown once the template is approved and used to create a payment.
  • Template Approvals are required if your organisation needs Approval for templates when creating, editing or deleting a template. Once approved, the template can be used to create a payment.
  • New Beneficiaries added to a template may need to be approved before the template can be used to create a payment.
  • Where (credit) payment currency is IDR, INR, MYR or ZAR, then Beneficiary Bank Country or Region must be ID (Indonesia), IN (India), MY (Malaysia) or ZA (South Africa) respectively.

Who can create an international payment template?

Eligible users with Payment Management role permissions and account access can create and manage an International Payment Templates based on your organisation's predetermined user permissions and payment settings. These role permissions can include:
 

  • Manage Payments - Adhoc (Adhoc & Approved Beneficiaries)
  • Manage Payments - Approved Beneficiary / Templates
  • Manage Payments - Import Payments
  • Manage Payments - FX Allowed

Only users who are entitled to Confidential Payments will be able to view, edit and approve payments created from a template when the confidential indicator selected.
 

Who can create and action an International Salary Payment Template?

  • The International Salary payment option is only available to view and action if you have the following entitlements:
    • Payroll - view full payment instructions
    • Mask Confidential - view limited payment instructions when approving the payment.
  • Fields within a salary payment template will be masked, including beneficiary name, beneficiary bank, account number, reference and payment method. These fields will be represented by 'XXXX' and only visible to users with applicable entitlements.
