Talenox Q1 2025 Updates: Light Tweaks, Heavy Impact |

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We’re halfway through 2025! And while this quarter’s update might seem a little lighter than usual, the features we’ve rolled out are incredibly impactful for payroll teams, especially those in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Before we dive in, a huge shoutout to our engineering team for making these updates happen behind the scenes. From building eMPF compatibility to supporting new bank formats, they’ve been hard at work improving the way you manage payroll so thank you!

Now, let’s jump into what’s new this quarter:

🇭🇰 eMPF Submission is Now Live for Hong Kong Users!

We’ve officially rolled out support for eMPF CSV file generation in Talenox! 🎉
This makes it much easier for Hong Kong users to comply with the new eMPF Platform requirements for MPF contribution submissions.

You can now generate an eMPF-ready file directly from your payroll data in Talenox which means no more manual formatting or guessing how the file should look.

To enable eMPF, head over to your Company > Profiles page and scroll down to Payroll Details. From there, you’ll be able to switch on the eMPF Submission toggle and enter the necessary information like your eMPF Scheme and Payroll Group ID. Here’s a guide on how to set it up step by step.

Once payroll has been processed, you can go to Month Total, click Export Bank Payments/MPF, select eMPF > CSV, and generate your submission file in just a few clicks. We’ve got a guide for that too.

For companies managing multiple MPF employee groups with different eMPF details, you can use Cost Centres to assign unique group IDs and schemes to employees. During file generation, you’ll just select the relevant Cost Centre to download a version of the file tailored to that group. More on managing eMPF across multiple MPF groups here.

This feature is all about giving you more control and less admin work -- especially during submission crunch times.

🇸🇬 Now Supporting Aspire Bank Files in Singapore

If you’re using Aspire FT Pte. Ltd. for payroll payouts, we’ve got good news -- Talenox now supports Aspire bank file generation! 🙌

This means you can now generate a bank file that’s fully compatible with Aspire’s GIRO batch upload system. No formatting errors, no extra conversions -- just a smoother payout process.

To set this up, go to Company Details > Bank Details in your Talenox account. Select Aspire FT Pte. Ltd. from the dropdown menu, then fill in your bank account details like this:

Once you’ve processed your payroll for the month, go to Month Total, download the Aspire-compatible file, and upload it to your Aspire dashboard via GIRO.

It’s a small change but it removes friction and makes payday just that little bit smoother.
