Brazilian companies commonly use 'pagamentos em lote' for payroll (folha de pagamento) and vendor payments. In the USA, ACH (Automated Clearing House) batch payments are standard practice for both government and private sector operations. The term reflects modern digital accounting practices that have become industry standard across both cultures.
