A Payment Instruction File (PIF) is a document generated by your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that contains a batch of Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments to be processed. This file includes essential details such as:
- Originating Bank Account Information: The account from which the payments will be made.
- Recipient Details: Routing numbers, account numbers, and payment amounts for each recipient.
The PIF ensures that all payment instructions are accurately communicated to the bank for processing.
