File transfer is a data transmission channel

Payments are transmitted most efficiently as files through file transfer. Your company can automate the timing of the uploads and downloads directly from your financial administration system. This will enable routine tasks to be managed non-manually.

You contact the file transfer service in Corporate Netbank or with bank connection software, which can be acquired from a software supplier. Nordea’s file transfer services cover all payment services for domestic and cross-border payments and transmission of card payments and electronic invoices as well as a number of other services.

Corporate customers must always conclude an agreement with the bank on the transmission of payment files.
