Batch Transfer Introduction
 


For your security, this function is only available to CRYPTOCard users.

The Batch Transfer function allows e-Bullion® account holders to upload a file with a list of transactions to be completed all at one time. The purpose of this tool is to save time and effort for e-Bullion® users who periodically make payments to a large number of accounts.

How to do multiple (batch) transfers

1. Enter your transfer data into your saved or downloaded spreadsheet. Double-check the accuracy of the account numbers and amounts.

The form fields are not case sensitive. "Gold" works as well as "GOLD" or "gold", etc.

If you have a long list of transfers it may be helpful to print your list out so you can refer to it in step 4.

2. SAVE THE FILE AS A CSV FILE. To do this, click File > Save As and change the file type to CSV (it is in the drop down menu). Save the file on your hard drive where you can easily find it. (NOTE: Remember that the first row is assumed to be column headings and not included in the transfer.)

3. Log into your e-Bullion® account and click the "Batch Process" link. Next to the box that says File to upload you can click the Browse button to search your hard drive and select the CSV file that you saved. You should see the path and name of your file in the form box.

4. Click the button to Preview This Transfer. You will be shown a list of all your transfers with the name on each account and the amount. Please check all your entries before you compete the transaction.

Each batch transfer may take up to five (5) minutes to complete and display a Transaction Successful page.
NOTE: Please be patient and do not resubmit the same request multiple times.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

All transactions are final and non-reversible. If you make a mistake you can NOT undo it.

The Batch Transfer function is limited to 1,000 transfers per file. If you have more than 1,000 transfers to do then you will need to break your list up into blocks of 1,000 or less.

How to create a CSV file from scratch

In order to make Batch Transfers, you must first create a CSV file with all of the required information for each transaction. (CSV means "Comma Separated Values" and is a list of data fields with a comma separating each field.) It is simple to make a CSV file using the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program (or any other office spreadsheet program).

STEP 1
Open a new file in Excel. Go to FILE> NEW> WORKBOOK

STEP 2
You will need to make five (5) columns:
Name Column A: To-Account
Name Column B: Metal/e-Currency
Name Column C: Unit
Name Column D: Amount
Name Column E: Memo

STEP 3
Save your file. Click >Save As. Name the file and under Save as type: choose CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv)

STEP 4
Enter your transfers
Column A: Enter the destination account number of the transfer.
Column B: Enter the metal/e-Currency® that you are transferring.
   Valid choices: gold, Gold, silver, Silver, e-currency, ecurrency.
Column C: Enter unit of transfer.
   Valid choices for precious metals: USD$, Troy Oz, Grams, toz, g.
   Valid choices for e-Currency®: USD$.
Column D: Enter the amount. Omit commas and dollar signs.
   (Example: 1250.00)
Column E: Enter memo of your choice relating to the transaction. Do not include commas in your memo.

STEP 5
Save your file (with a new name). Click Save As and under Save as type: choose CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv) Note: if you are using Excel, it will automatically try to save the file in Excel format (*.xls). The file must be saved in .csv format only to upload correctly. You now have a ready-to-use file for all your batch transfers.
