Exports in Bacs Direct

View, monitor and download export files generated by Bacs Direct, including exports that are processed in the background.

Written by Gemma Langley

Some exports can take longer to generate due to the size of the data being downloaded. When this happens, Bacs Direct creates the export in the background and makes it available for download once it is ready. The Exports screen allows you to monitor the status of these exports and download completed files.

View exports

  1. Click the Direct Debits tab on the left-hand side.

  2. From the main menu, select Bacs Direct and click Exports.


Review export status

The Exports screen displays exports you have requested and their current status.

Exports are automatically created when a download is too large to be generated immediately. This includes:

  • Payment line exports containing more than 10,000 rows.

  • Error exports containing more than 1,000 rows.


Download an export

  1. Open the Exports screen.

  2. Locate the export you want to download.

  3. When the export status shows as available, click Download.

Once downloaded, the file can be opened and reviewed locally.

📌Note: The Exports screen only displays exports that you have requested. Other users cannot view or download your exports.
