# Examples

> Sample CSV rows and layouts—plus common mistakes to avoid when building payout files.

Use these examples as **templates** when you build your own files. Always confirm column names and required fields against your **template** and the [supported payout countries](/guides/disburse/countries/index) pages for the destination.

## CSV example

```csv theme={null}
payee.type,payee.first_name,payee.last_name,bank_account.account_holder_name,bank_account.account_number,bank_account.swift_code,amount,currency
individual,Ana,García,Ana García,1234567890,BNMXMXMM,1500,USD
individual,John,Smith,John Smith,9876543210,BOFAUS3N,2500,USD
```

## Same data in a table (Excel-style columns)

If you build the sheet in Excel, use one column per header below:

| payee.type | payee.first\_name | payee.last\_name | bank\_account.account\_holder\_name | bank\_account.account\_number | bank\_account.swift\_code | amount | currency |
| ---------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------ | -------- |
| individual | Ana               | García           | Ana García                          | 1234567890                    | BNMXMXMM                  | 1500   | USD      |
| individual | John              | Smith            | John Smith                          | 9876543210                    | BOFAUS3N                  | 2500   | USD      |

Save as `.xlsx` with **row 1 = headers** and **row 2+ = data**, matching your template.

## Business payout example

```csv theme={null}
payee.type,payee.business_name,bank_account.account_holder_name,bank_account.account_number,bank_account.swift_code,amount,currency
business,Acme Inc,Acme Inc,1234567890,BOFAUS3N,10000,USD
```

## Mexico SPEI example (CLABE)

```csv theme={null}
payee.type,payee.first_name,payee.last_name,bank_account.account_holder_name,bank_account.clabe,amount,currency
individual,Ana,García,Ana García,032180000118359719,5000,MXN
```

## Common mistakes

### Missing required fields

```csv theme={null}
amount,currency
1000,USD
```

Without payee and bank details, validation fails. Include every column your template marks as required.

### Invalid formats

```csv theme={null}
amount,currency
$1000,USD
```

Do not include currency symbols in the **amount** cell.

### Incorrect field names

```csv theme={null}
firstname,lastname,amount,currency
```

Headers must match expected identifiers (for example `payee.first_name`), not informal labels—unless your **template** maps informal names to Acclaim fields.

<Tip>
  Start with **1–5 rows**, confirm success in the Console, then scale to full batches.
