If I only have one bank account on file.....why the need to select it?

An easy fix to one less clicking each day - bill payments shows our bank account already but sales payments have to click drop down then click bank

Reducing a click is huge in terms of time saved, and accuracy. Great feature.

Yeah I just started bouncing a bunch of checks because I wrote them from the wrong account.

I would find this facility very useful and time-saving. It also removes the possibility of posting cash received to the wrong bank account.

We have upgraded from Reckon Accounts Hosted and am surprised that Xero does not have this very basic feature.

This is a very basic thing to have under the user's control, as it is in all other bookkeeping software that I know of. Much like other posters here, I have failed to change the bank account it defaults to, much to my later chagrin, when I have to untangle things. And that default account happens to be a bank account we closed years ago, so it's particularly irritating I have to select another account every single time I write a check.

Yes, this is a necessary feature. Just had to Remove and Undo several checks as the wrong account is somehow the default after i added a money market account. I will try to pay attention but this is likely to happen again if i cannot designate a default checking account.

Hopefully we can have this feature asap.

How is this not a thing yet? Silly.

Same. We write several thousand checks per month, using the "make payment > pay by check" screen perhaps 15 times in a row, and each time we have to be positive we've selected the correct bank account out of six. And then once we've selected the correct bank account, we have to wait for them to renumber.

We have a large number of bank accounts but only one trading account so this would save a lot of time having to always find the trading account in a long list when paying bills etc

I'm new to Xero after using an alternative package and was surprised that this wasn't a feature. Would be helpful and time saving to be able to set as a default then only use drop down feature if an alternative bank account was required .

This will assist in repeating bills. And also a functionality to confirm is a bill is a direct debit or have to manually pay.
