Don't Change Your Excel Layout: Convert Any Spreadsheet to SEPA XML Instantly

Smart MappingExcelSEPAProduct UpdateTime Saving

Are you tired of fighting with rigid Excel templates just to make a simple bulk payment? For many accountants and business owners, the monthly payroll or supplier payment run involves a frustrating game of copy-paste gymnastics.

The Pain Point: Rigid Templates vs. Your Reality

Most SEPA converters on the market force you into a box. They demand you download their specific template, and then spend hours manually copying and pasting data from your accounting software (like Xero, Sage, or custom HR tools) into their rigid columns.

One slip of the mouse, one pasted row in the wrong place, and you have errors. It takes time, it's boring, and it's prone to mistakes. Why should you change your workflow to fit a tool? The tool should fit you.

Our Solution: Smart Drag & Drop Mapping

We built our Smart Column Mapping feature to be the hero your workflow deserves. Instead of forcing you to reformat your data, we let you bring your file exactly as it is.

  • Bring Your Own File: Upload your existing export from Xero, Sage, or your custom HR software.
  • No Copy-Pasting: Forget about templates. Keep your data where it is.
  • Simple Selection: Use our intuitive dropdowns to tell us which column is "IBAN", which is "Name", and so on.

How It Works: Convert in 4 Steps

Step 1: Export Your List

Export your payment list to Excel or CSV from your current software. Don't worry about the column order or headers.

Step 2: Upload to Our Tool

Simply drag and drop your file into the upload area on our homepage.

Step 3: Map the Columns

This is where the magic happens. You'll see dropdowns for each required SEPA field (like Creditor Name, IBAN, Amount). Just match them to the columns from your uploaded file. For example, match your "Employee Name" column to "Creditor Name".

Step 4: Download XML

Click generate, and you're done! You get a valid SEPA XML file ready for your bank, without ever touching a spreadsheet cell to reformat it.
