Question 1

What is a one-time batch payment?

Accepted Answer

Centtrip's one-time batch payment feature enables you to make one-off payments to multiple recipients, by uploading a single spreadsheet containing all recipient account and payment details. You do not need to upload a seperate list of beneficiaries, and their details are not saved after the payment, so your account is kept clear of unnecessary details.

The most common reasons are:

Insufficient Funds - an Administrator will need to load additional funds to the card.
Offline pins exceeded or Restricted Card - your card has been temporarily blocked due to too many incorrect PIN attempts or an offline terminal. Please contact Client Support to unblock it for you.

Question 6

Why are the bank details for loading my Centtrip account not in my name?

Accepted Answer

Your Centtrip account is not a bank account; Centtrip Limited is an Electronic Money Institution authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We use multiple banking and other financial institution partners to hold client funds in secure, segregated currency accounts - the details you see on-screen are for these accounts.

So to fund your account, please use the full payment details provided under "Load Account" for your selected currency. To avoid delays, be sure to always quote your reference number (starting CENT), and ensure payment is from an account in the same name as your Centtrip account, or an Approved Third Party.

Once we receive your funds, they will be credited to your Centtrip account.
