Question 1

How do I integrate my Centtrip account with Xero?

Accepted Answer

Integrate your Centtrip account with Xero and automatically sync Centtrip account and/or card transaction data into Xero. No back-and-forth between systems, no manual exports or re-keying.

You can set up your Xero integration directly within your account, without the need for any technical support or development work from your team. (Contact us to discuss integration with other accounting or ERP solutions)

Question 2

Can administrators activate cards on behalf of cardholders?

Accepted Answer

Prepare cards in advance and avoid any last-minute rush or queries, by activating cards ahead of time. As an administrator, you can activate cards on behalf of the cardholder, within your desktop account. When ready, Cardholders can view their PIN securely within the Centtrip app.

Question 3

Where can I find out more about Centtrip's bank detail changes on 19th January 2024?

Accepted Answer

As part of changes to ensure Centtrip complies with all its regulatory obligations, our payment details will be updated on Friday 19th January 2024.

What do I need to do?

From 19th January 2024, please ensure you use our updated payment details whenever you load your account. This change will also affect FX conversions which you have chosen to settle by bank transfer.

Please remember to update any pre-existing details you may already have saved in your corporate bank account.

Where can I find the updated details?

Our updated details will be available in your account from 19th January. Please sign in, visit Load Account, and select a currency to view these securely.

To settle an FX conversion, please refer to your on-screen and email confirmation.

What happens if I use the old details in error?

Payments made using our pre-19th January details will be rejected and returned to your corporate bank account. You will need to make the transfer again using the new details. It may take several days for the funds to be returned to you, depending on your bank, currency and the date/time of the payment.

Which currencies does this affect?

These changes apply to payments made in ALL currencies. Please ensure you use the updated details.

What if I receive a warning message from my bank?

Banks may show a warning when you make a payment to the new account for the first time due to fraud prevention tools and processes. Please double-check that the details you've entered match those provided in the Centtrip platform exactly before confirming the payment.

Question 7

How do I add payment recipients to my account in batch?

Accepted Answer

Save time when adding multiple payment recipients to your Centtrip account. Our batch upload feature enables you to add hundreds of recipients in just one click, removing the need to create and verify each one individually.

After signing into your account, visit the Recipients tab and click 'UPLOAD RECIPIENTS'.
Scroll down and click either 'EXCEL TEMPLATE' or 'CSV TEMPLATE' to download the 'RecipientUploadTemplate’.
Complete all relevant fields of the template for each recipient.
Save your file and visit the same 'UPLOAD RECIPIENTS' page of your account (step 1).
Follow the steps under 'Verify as Trusted Payee' to verify using either an App or email generated code.
Click 'PICK A FILE...' and select your saved recipient template to upload it.
Once processed, you will receive an on-screen notification confirming the number of successful/unsuccessful beneficiary uploads. Press 'OK' to view the details.
Download the file provided - this will contain any unsuccessful recipients, along with the error reason. Example below:

Correct the errors on this document and follow step 5 onwards to re-upload it in the same way.
Once complete, you can make individual payments OR send payments in batch.

Hints and tips

You only need to re-upload the unsuccessful recipients, all others will have been processed successfully.
'Verify as Trusted Payee' - when entering the first 4 digits of the new recipient’s Account Number or IBAN, please use the details of the first recipient in the batch.
The ‘Override’ field of the template can be used to update the details of an existing beneficiary; enter ‘Y’ into the row and the recipient (with the same nickname) will be updated accordingly.
