PayBatch
PayBatch
PayBatch turns your payment list into the exact import file your bank expects — validated as you type, then exported in one click. It runs entirely on your own computer, so nothing ever leaves your machine.
✅ Works today with: Santander, HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds & NatWest — via Bacs Standard 18, ISO 20022 (UK) and SEPA (EUR). More banks coming.
Free · open source · macOS · Windows · Linux — no account, no sign-up.
Santander Connect (Bacs import & mixed payments), cross-bank Bacs Standard 18, and ISO 20022 XML — UK domestic GBP plus SEPA euro payments to IBANs.
Every cell is checked live. Bad sort codes, accounts and amounts are flagged before export, so the bank won't reject your file.
Copy your rows in Excel or Google Sheets and paste straight in — columns are detected automatically.
In plain terms: your payees and bank details are scrambled and locked to your computer, so other apps can't read them and they never go online. PayBatch only ever reaches the internet to check for an update.
Reuse beneficiaries and reload past runs in a click. No more hunting through old spreadsheets.
A gentle banner tells you when a new version ships, with a full changelog inside the app.
No clutter, no jargon — just the steps to a valid payment file.
Choose the bank and the file type your channel expects.
Type, paste from Excel, or import a CSV. Fix any flagged rows inline.
Export the file — it opens automatically — then upload it to your bank.

We'd rather be honest than oversell. Here's the straight version.
