Can I create more than one payment source when I’m setting up NEST?

You can add more than one payment source with NEST. All you need to do is click ‘Add a payment source’ once you’ve finished setting up the first payment source and follow the same process.

You don’t need to set up different payment sources if you don’t want to, as long as you’re planning to pay contributions from the same bank account. You can use the same payment source for everyone if you’d like to.

If you’re adding multiple payment sources, we recommend you try to keep the number to a minimum. This is because contribution schedules are created based on members who share the same payment source and pay periods, also known as an earnings period.

The more payment sources you have the more contribution schedules you’ll have to submit each pay period.

If you decide to add another payment source sharing the same details that you’ve just set up, click on ‘Create a copy’. You’ll need to choose a different name for this payment source.

You can also delete or edit your payment sources when you’re setting up with NEST.

When you’ve finished check your payment sources are listed correctly and click on ‘When and what you’ll pay’ to continue with your set-up.

If you think you might want to add further payment sources at a later point that’s fine. You can always add more once you’ve completed your initial set up. You’ll be able to do this through the Manage payment sources section of your online NEST account.
