A beneficiary is anyone your business sends money to—such as employees or vendors. Adding beneficiaries in advance helps speed up payments and reduce manual errors.

Tip: Have the beneficiary’s full bank details ready (e.g. account or IBAN, bank name, SWIFT/BIC). These will be checked automatically during setup.

Add a beneficiary from the Beneficiaries page

  1. Go to Beneficiaries from the top menu.

    • You’ll see a list of beneficiaries linked to your default account.

    • To view a different account, select Edit and choose the correct one.

  2. Select Add New

    • A side panel will open.

    • Enter the beneficiary’s bank details and optional contact info.

    • Select Save. The new beneficiary will appear in your list.

Bulk upload beneficiaries from a file

  1. Go to Beneficiaries > Beneficiaries Upload

  2. Download the template

    • Select International Upload File to download the latest CSV format.

  3. Fill out the template

    • Add one beneficiary per row.

    • Include key fields like name, account/IBAN, SWIFT/BIC, and address.

    • Save the file as a .csv.

  4. Upload your file

    • Select Browse to find and upload your CSV file.

    • Choose the correct format (e.g. PIP CSV Template) from the dropdown.

    • Select Upload.

MarTrust will validate your file and show how many beneficiaries were created.
If there are errors, they’ll be highlighted so you can correct and re-upload.

Add a beneficiary while creating a payment

  1. While setting up a Payment Batch, open the Beneficiary dropdown.

  2. Select Add New.

    • Fill in the details in the side panel.

    • Select Save.

    • The beneficiary will be added and automatically selected in your payment form.
