Mismatch Between Bank Code Format and UBS Export

clpiau — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 10:37:06 +0800

Hi,

We were recently instructed by our bank to stop using their proprietary application for generating payroll file. Instead, we now must use the bank’s newly provided Excel/CSV/TXT templates, which are then uploaded through the bank’s online portal.

We are using Access UBS Payroll currently supports exporting payment data to Excel through the External Application feature, where we can select the intended bank. However, the issue is that the bank requires the receiving bank code to be in alphabetic format, while UBS generates this field in numeric format.

I’ve already raised this matter with UBS, but they’ve informed me that no enhancement will be implemented unless at least two customers request the same change.

I would like to know if there are any other companies experiencing this same issue. FYI, The bank is Hong Leong Bank. Also we use several banks other than Hong Leong for salary payment and they have no problem to accept numeric format.

Thank you

Anyone have idea whether Windows 10 Pro OEM can be downgraded to Windows 7 Pro or not. I have googled and found out link to a document that saying it can be downgraded however according to my vendor it requires purchase of open license upgrade pack to be able to do that. Appreciate the advice
