Making a Payment - Payment Reason

A guide on what the different Payment Reason options are

For payments that are paid using an Ebury, you will be required to state the Payment Reason when processing the payment. Ebury needs this information to correctly meet the requirements for the payment when processing it through their banking providers as countries can have different rules about how payments are processed depending on what the payment is for.
