How do I export a payroll file from my payroll system?

Overview

To pay salaries via Juni, you first need to export a payment file from your payroll system. The file contains information about your employees' salaries and where the money should be paid out.

In this guide, we go through how to create and download a payroll file from some of the most common payroll systems in Sweden.

Once you have downloaded the file, you can proceed to Juni and upload it to prepare your salary payments.

    • Click Create Transaction account in the top right of the page.

    • Name the account and then select Danske bank or Handelsbanken in the "Account with" menu. Fortnox has not yet added Juni as an option, but we share the same payment file format as these banks.

Do you use another payroll system?

If you use a payroll system other than the ones listed above, you may still be able to export a payment file.

Look for an option named something like Bank file, Payment file, Payout file, or Export salary payments. The format should be an XML file according to the ISO 20022 standard. All Swedish banks are required to support this format starting in 2026, so it is likely that your payroll system also supports export in this format.

Keep in mind that you need the payment file itself, not a payroll report, payslip, or accounting document.

If you are unsure which file to export, you are always welcome to contact us at Juni, and we will help you further.
