Payedge has stopped working for us with xero so we would like to have something in place asap

Crezo can process bulk payments in the UK and this auto reconciles the transactions within Xero!

can this feature be added urgently.

Xero used to offer this in Australia for Nab customers. It was great! For some reason, they decided to remove this time saving functionality.
If Xero is going to remain relevant, they need to focus on adding meaningful innovation and value to users rather than reducing functionality and increasing prices. Come on Xero, give us some innovation that we actually need rather than changing the style of reports etc

With the strides forward that are being made in open banking, this kind of function should be more than possible now, though understandably it does require the co-operation of the banking tech teams to allow this to happen fully.

Please turn it back!

Previously - Australian businesses using Xero that have NAB internet banking had been able to instruct multiple bill payments at a time through Xero and approve their bill payments anytime, anywhere, directly in the NAB mobile app.

This feature was excellent as it allowed payments to be uploaded to the NAB App to an approver without the business' finance staff having to log into the bank directly.

Similarly, instead of uploading an ABA file for a bulk payment run, each individual transaction would show on the NAB Internet banking app and therefore the approver could either accept or reject all or hand-pick individual transactions to approve or reject. With ABA files if a file needs to be changed, the entire ABA file needs to be canceled and then reissued.

In addition when the transactions appear on the bank feed/statement, instead of being a bulk amount for the entire sum of the aba file transactions, each individual payment shows line-by-line on the statement making reconciliation fool-proof and also automatic.

In Dec-22, this feature was unilaterally turned off by Xero with no alternative provided.

We request this feature be turned back on or provide this functionality with a different vendor.

Again, this feature should be standard in a modern accounting software package. You should at least be able to do a payment run in Xero and generate an ABA file to upload to your banking platform

Is there a way to provide ACH payment option where the payment is connected directly to your bank without using a 3rd party such as Stripe or GoCardless

This would be awesome and also for payroll rather than going between payroll and bank

I'm experimenting with make.com I use revolut to bank.

Currently you can only create draft payments using make.com but it's better than nothing.

Bluevine is already doing this with QBO. I suggested to Bluevine that they consider integrating with Xero. Their response was that they would like to integrate whereever practicable.

Crezco is a great solution in Uk for faster payments

Eliminate another layer of login - Time saver and not requiring any 3rd party apps

Relay Financial Bank is a wonderful option for those that qualify.

We do this all the time by making a batch payment of just one transaction. Works well with Kiwibank at least.

I understand the complexities/barriers with electronic bill payments, however, if in partnership with Stripe you could facilitate a way to initiate ACH from within Xero you would negate the need for 3rd party apps like bill.com that dramatically undermine the experience of using Xero in the first place. I chose Xero over Quickbooks because of the seamless integrations and web-native structure. Phantom transactions that arise, sync errors that cannot be resolved, countless times bill.com has created an error in my accounting ultimately reflects on my xero user experience. Please do something to alleviate the difficulty of 3rd party bill payment apps.

With so many new FinTechs like AirWallex, Wise, OFX, the neobanks etc I'm just surprised none of them are doing it - would be a massive differentiator for them, and make much stickier for customers.

This was originally announced at Xerocon 2017 but it was canned as the banks didn’t want to open the integration

Every business unit has to deal with Accounts Payable on a repetitive basis and to be able to pay bills from Xero will go a long way to automate in Xero seamlessly for AP processes.
