Create a Local Transfer in Jack Portal

Let’s start your first local transaction with Jack!  Anyone who is assigned as a Drafter can create a Local Transfer in Jack Portal (not available in Jack App yet), the request then goes through a secured reviewing and approving/rejecting process by Approver and Releaser before disbursing to one or multiple recipients simultaneously. Drafter, Approver, and Releaser have been appointed since the beginning using the approval workflow (read here). Minimum amount transfer that you can make per recipient is IDR 10.000 with no maximum. 


There are 9 easy steps to create your Local Transfer in Jack Portal:

  1. Log in to your Jack Portal. Click Create at the top right of the screen.

  1. From the dropdown button, select the Local Transfer menu.

  1. Input a batch name for your transaction. Pick a name for your transaction so later you can track it on the report easily. After filling the name of your batch, click Next.

  1. You have two options to fill the recipient data: use CSV template from Jack or you can fill one by one directly on the dashboard.


If you only want to transfer to a few recipients, it is much easier to input the recipient data one by one on our dashboard (use the Empty Table option). Fill recipient name, bank account name and number, email, amount in the provided table. If you want to add a new recipient(s), just click the Add Empty Row (fill the table manually) or Add From Recipient List (select from registered recipients in the platform) button at the top right of the page. 

If you want to transfer to many recipients at once, choose the CSV option. We can process up to 1000 rows in one batch. Click Next after you choose how you’ll input your recipient details. In the following steps, we guide you with filling the recipients details using CSV.  

  1. Download the template and fill the CSV template with your company’s data. Fill all columns required in the CSV format. Ensure all data is inputted correctly.

When filling out the CSV template for your batch Local Transfer, remember not to rename any columns, delete any columns, add new columns, or switch the positions of the existing columns. Modifying the template structure can cause compatibility issues and result in errors during data processing.


  1. Upload the filled CSV and let our system validate each of every row. We will validate every bank account on the CSV and give you an error if there’s a not found bank account or different bank name. If it’s already successfully uploaded, then click Next to continue.

  1. Please check all transfer details and ensure all data is input correctly. If you find there’s recipient data that you would like to edit, you can click the pencil icon beside the field. If you would like to delete a transaction, you can click the trash bin icon at the right end of each row. You can also add the new recipient data by clicking Add Empty Row button to fill it manually inside the table or Add from Recipient List to fill it automatically from the Recipient List database of your company (this contains a list of recipients who had prior transactions with your company). After reviewing, click Validate to continue. The validation process will take a while, please wait and don’t close the screen. 



You can save your transaction before submitting it for the approval process. To do that, you can simply click the Move to Draft button and you can continue editing draft later from the drafted transaction.


  1. If there’s an issue on the bank validation, we will give you the information on the specific mistake you need to revise. Just click on the wrong column and edit it directly. If there’s no issue on the bank validation, submit it and let us do the magic! You cannot edit or make any further changes once it’s submitted. Check it again for the last time, then click Submit
