Spreadsheet to SEPA

Create a SEPA File from Excel or Spreadsheet Data

Prepare and check your payment run in a spreadsheet, export the data as CSV, and use Parolla to generate the SEPA XML instruction file.

Use the spreadsheet you already know

Parolla's implemented upload format is CSV rather than a native .xlsx workbook. Excel, LibreOffice Calc and Google Sheets can all prepare the rows and export them as CSV before upload.

Spreadsheet preparation checklist

  • Use the exact seven headings from the downloadable Parolla example.
  • Keep IBANs and references as text so spreadsheet formatting does not alter them.
  • Use positive euro amounts with at most two decimal places.
  • Export the finished sheet as CSV, preserving all seven columns.

Upload, validate and generate

Upload the exported CSV to a Parolla company. Validation identifies missing or malformed payment fields before a batch is prepared. After review, generate the XML instruction file and upload it in your bank's portal.

Parolla does not send the transfers itself, and bank acceptance depends on the bank's own format and approval requirements.

See the CSV-to-SEPA workflow or open the field-by-field CSV guide.
