# Nedbank

AllWage supports two payment file formats for Nedbank:

* **Bankserv ACB (Capitec/FNB/Nedbank)** — the standard ACB format.
* **Nedbank Business (Secure format)** — Nedbank's secure format that includes an integrity check. This format requires a seed phrase to be configured on AllWage before it can be used.

Please consult your **business banker** for official documentation on how to import batch payments.

## Bankserv ACB

### Export the payment file from AllWage

When downloading the payment file from AllWage, select the "**Bankserv ACB (Capitec/FNB/Nedbank)**" option.

### Import into Nedbank

On the Nedbank import screen, select the **ACB (accounting packages)** format. The import will not work if you select any other option.

## Nedbank Business (Secure format)

The secure format is Nedbank's preferred format and includes an additional integrity check on the file.

### Configure the seed phrase

Before you can use the secure format, you need to capture your Nedbank seed phrase on AllWage. The seed phrase is set up on your NetBank Business profile and must be entered on AllWage exactly as it appears there — otherwise the file will fail Nedbank's integrity check on import.

**Where to capture the seed phrase on AllWage:**

1. Navigate to **Payroll → Settings → Companies**.
2. Select the company.
3. Open the bank account configured for Nedbank.
4. Enter the seed phrase in the **Nedbank seed** field and save.

**Seed phrase format:**

* Exactly **32 characters** long
* Only the characters **1–9** and **A–F** are allowed (uppercase only)
* No zeros, no spaces, no lowercase letters

If your seed phrase does not meet these rules, AllWage will not accept it. Contact your business banker if you are not sure what your seed phrase is or how to set one up on your NetBank Business profile.

### Export the payment file from AllWage

When downloading the payment file from AllWage, select the "**Nedbank Business (Secure format)**" option.

### Import into Nedbank

On the Nedbank import screen, select the **NetBank Business (secure format)** option (the first option in the list).
