How to make salary and statutory payments via Public Bank
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 app
- 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 app. 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.
