Pay your team: disbursement & the NIBSS file
Turn an approved run into a bank payment batch, approve it (maker-checker), download the NIBSS file, reconcile.
From an approved run, click **Create payment batch**. The system builds one line per employee (split across multiple accounts if you've configured split pay). Open the batch under **Disbursement** and review the lines.
A **different user** approves the batch; the person who created it can't also approve it. Once approved, download the **NIBSS file** (the CSV your bank's bulk-payment portal expects) and upload it to your bank.
As the bank confirms payments, mark each line **Paid**, **Returned** or **Failed**. When every line is resolved, the batch is reconciled.
