If you want to generate and upload payroll files via Public Bank, you need to set payment details in both PayrollPanda and Public Bank portal. Here are the steps:
1. Settings in the PayrollPanda system
- Go to Settings > Company Details > Bank Details
- Click on Add Bank Account
- Then select Public Bank Berhad/ Public Finance Berhad
- Choose Account Type, either PB ECP Service or PB Enterprise
- Fill the necessary details for Organization Code, Account Holder's Name, Account Number and Payment/Transaction Type.
Before running payroll, remember to enter your employees’ staff ID and bank details. Simply:
- Go to Employees > select Employment Details > Employee ID
- Enter Employee’s ID
- Go to Employees > select Employee > Personal Info
- Under the Preferred Method of Payment, choose “Bank Transfer”
- Under Bank Details > click Add Bank Account
- Enter employee’s Bank Details
Note: If your employees do not have staff ID numbers, simply enter 01, 02, etc.
Crediting Date is required as the last step for setting payment details in the system. In step 3 of Run Payroll, select the date when payments should be deducted from your account. As such, a crediting date cannot be a past date.
2. Settings in the Public Bank portal
There are two types of platforms for Public Bank which require a different setup.

- Payment/Transaction Type: Choose either IBG, Rentas or Bankers Cheque/Demand Draft (BC/DD) as the type of payment.
