Can we encrypt a file before sending it to a bank?

The DME is extracted from SAP into a text file. While there is a hash total, it is possible to modify the text file and recreate the hash total. Since this file is sent to the financial institution for disbursement, we would like to encrypt the file as it is produced by SAP. Is there a mechanism to do this?

No, you need to do that on the transfer side. Your bank should accept PGP and you can encrypt the file before sending it.
