What is the Payment Set Number in HSBC Bank?
This article explains what the HSBC Payment Set Number is and how it applies to payroll centers paying salaries through HSBCnet.
Audience & Scope
Audience: HR Admin
Module: Payroll
Country: Malaysia & Singapore
Pre-requisites: Access to HR Lounge Payroll module
If your company uses HSBC Bank for salary payments through the HSBCNet portal, you may need to provide a "Payment Set Number" for your payroll center. The "Payment Set Number" typically begins with C01, C02, C03 or E01, E02, E03 and so on.
For example, if your first payroll center uses HSBC Bank, your initial "Payment Set Number" will be C01/E01. If you create an additional payroll center using the same HSBC Bank, the next "Payment Set Number" will be C02/E02, followed by C03/E03, and so forth.
NOTE:
Failure to provide the correct Payment Set Number can result in errors during the bank text file upload in the HSBCNet portal.
