Set Up OCBC Branch Code

Set up the OCBC Branch Code for the Business Entity before generating the bank file. This is a one-time setup required for the OCBC bank file to be generated correctly.

  1. Go to Payroll > Business Entities.

  2. Select the Business Entity that pays salaries through OCBC Bank.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. Go to Bank Details.

  5. Select OCBC Bank under Bank Name.

  6. Enter the Branch Code.

  7. Click Save.

The Branch Code is saved to the Business Entity. You only need to do this once unless the Branch Code changes.

Generate OCBC Bank File

Generate the OCBC bank file after the payroll has been finalised and a payment has been created. The file is downloaded as part of a .zip package from the Payments page.

  1. Make sure your payroll has been finalized before you proceed. Go to Payroll > Payroll List page if you have not done so.

  2. Go to Payroll > Payments.

  3. Make sure that payment for the intended payroll has been created. If the payment has not been created, a warning will shows on the payment page for that month.

  4. Find the payment that contains the payroll you want to process.

  5. Click Download Bank Files.

  6. Select the Value Date for the bank file. You can select today, a past date, or a future date. Weekend dates are not available.

  7. Click Download Bank Files.

  8. Open the downloaded .zip file and retrieve the OCBC bank file (.txt).

The downloaded .zip file contains one .txt bank file for each Business Entity in the payment. The OCBC file follows the GIRO 2.1 fixed-width format and is ready to upload to your OCBC Business Banking portal.

Upload into OCBC System

  1. First, go to velocity.ocbc.com and login using your credentials.

  2. Click 'Transactions' and then 'Upload File'

  3. You will be directed to a new page. On the format dropdown, select 'GIRO Payroll Check ID (MY)'

  4. Choose the file that you downloaded, and then click 'Upload on the right side of the screen

  5. If the upload is successful, you can see your transaction detail. The status will change into 'Pending Authorization'

FAQ

Where do I find my OCBC Branch Code?

Your OCBC Branch Code is provided by OCBC Bank when your organisation registers for corporate banking services. If you are unsure, contact your OCBC relationship manager or OCBC Business Banking support.

Why can't I see the Branch Code field?

The Branch Code field only appears in Bank Details when your Business Entity's bank is set to OCBC Bank. Ensure the correct bank is selected before looking for this field.
