To schedule a payroll payment for a future date, first, you'll need to create a new payment.
To do so:
Click on the black '+New Payment' button located in the top-right corner of the 'Pay' section.
Next, upload a payroll file (as a CSV or any supported format).
After uploading the file, you will be directed to a new screen displaying the details of your payroll payments (recipient, account details, amount, and payment reference). If any account details do not align with the beneficiary bank records, Apron will flag these for your attention, allowing you to double-check them.
Note: due to the bank-specific rules, the maximum payroll payment is £350,000. If your payment is larger than that, we recommend that you complete it directly through your bank, or, if you still want to try to pay it via Apron, contact our team via chat or email at: [email protected].
Once all of the details are confirmed as accurate, you can proceed by clicking 'Continue' at the bottom of the page.
Next, select the bank account you will use for the payment by clicking on it.
On the next screen, you can choose the date. At the top of the screen, you will find 'Delivery date' and below it, a calendar is displayed. If you wish to send the payment right away, simply click on today's date.
After selecting the date for the transfers to reach the recipients, you can complete the payment process.
Important note: Funds will be deducted from your bank account as soon as you authorise the transaction, even if you're scheduling it for a later date.
Alternatively, you can make a regular bank transfer and schedule with your bank when you wish for the money to be sent to Apron. We recommend that you send the payment at least one day in advance in such a case, to avoid any possible delays. Once we receive the payment, we will release it on the scheduled date.
