# Payment details

You must select how each employee will be paid. This can be either:

- **Transfer**: either domestic or international
- **Cash**
- **Cheque**

### Transfer / Banking information

#### Domestic bank details

1. Select the **Transfer** option, then the **Domestic** tab.
2. Enter the employee's **sort code**, **account number**, and **account holder name**.
3. If the employee uses a building society, enter the **account reference number**.

#### International bank details

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**: This option will only appear if your organisation is set up to pay employees with international bank accounts. To set this up, either contact [support](/payroll/docs/help-and-support) or speak to your payroll manager.

1. Select the **Transfer** option, then the **International** tab.
2. The information you need to enter will vary, depending on the country where the payment is being sent to. However, the **IBAN**, **Bank country**, **Bank name**, and **Transfer charges** fields are all mandatory.

> [!WARNING]
> **Important**: Switching between payment types will delete any bank details that you have entered.

#### How can I set up an employee if I don't yet know their bank details?

You must either wait until you have these details before setting up the employee OR select cash/cheque, then set a reminder to update the employee's banking details before their first payroll.
