About Multibank Templates

What is a Multibank template

Multibank template allows you to setup frequently used payment instructions in the form of an Outward MT101 message via the SWIFT network. The financial institution which holds the account will initiate the International Payment or MAS Electronic Payment System (MEPS) payment on your behalf.

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

Payment template rules for Multibank 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, additional information, supporting document, etc.
  • 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.

Who can create a Multibank template?

  • Eligible users with Payment Management role permissions and account access can create and manage a Multibank template 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
For more information, please refer to Role Permissions and User Permissions.
