# Batch Payment Groups

A batch group is a named collection of up to 1000 transfers that can be managed as a single unit. Batch groups are primarily used for funding multiple transfers with a single payment.
**Workflow:**
1. Create a batch group with a source currency
2. Add transfers to the group (up to 1000)
3. Complete the batch group to close it for modifications
4. Fund the batch group from a balance or via direct debit

Individual transfers in the group follow standard transfer lifecycle and can be tracked separately.
