Enter your idea

I just started to use Xero for my company, and I like it. But unfortunately, when I added my contacts with all details, I couldn't add the IBAN and SWIFT detail under the bank detail. What a surprise, as Xero is a Global software right now competing strongly with SAGE (whos done it from the beginning).

Defetenly it needs to be added/corrected ASAP.

Agree with previous comment. It seems like a no-brainer

very time consuming to choose SWIFT code from down down list while processing thousands of bills bi-monthly.

This is critical for my client whom have an Australian arm of their business and create the batch file for their overseas finance team to facilitate the bank payment, it will ensure suppliers are not missed being paid and greater control here in Australia for their operations.

Incomprehensible that Xero has not resolved this critical issue affecting a basic functionality yet.

Really poor that this has not been implemented yet - please sort Xero

We would benefit significantly from having the option to input international bank account information, such as IBAN and SWIFT. We are currently leaving these vendors bank account details blank. However, would love to see this feature enabled for smoother transitions between Xero and our bank account.

Currently, a SWIFT code for each payee will need to be entered each time a batch payment is created, otherwise, batch won't be sent to Bank. It would be helpful if there is any way for Xero to record the swift code from the previous payment so that when we make a new payment for the same supplier, the bank information will be automatically shown in the respective fields.

Hi. Important also for us!
1. Swift+accountno in same field for local Singaporean supplier and bank does not work. It does not spread to the swift field (dropdown only!!) in batch payment. Support is unable to help. So this idea is not working for us.
2. Swift and/or IBAN for international suppliers and banks should be added.

All in all. This is basic functionality. We expect it to work so supplier contact bank details are fixed for easy batch payment. Very dissatisfied is does not work even for local payments.

For the batch payment SWIFT code is a compulsory field.
It is impossible for user remember all the swift code for supplier bank account hence the swift code field should stored under particular contact as part of the bank account information.

Please become more global, as we as a company are and apparently not the only ones!!
Sooner rather than later please.

May have already been mentioned but...Any chance of adding a box on the invoice template for us to place the EORI number which is now required on invoices for shipping purposes from UK? I tried using the VAT No box but it doesn't like it.

Our ledger is 100% GBP but the bulk of our payments are sent overseas in GBP so not being able to input an IBAN and BIC makes life really difficult. Please also note we have one UK supplier (a well know multinational computer supplier) who only presents their bank details in IBAN and BIC format - we can read the format and input as Xero requires but this can open the door to errors, which when making substantial payments could be expensive.

bank name & SWIFT code (oversea payment)
More bank, current has restriction

Request SWIFT code field to be saved under particular contact as bank account number, so that it could auto populate in the batch payment.

I cannot add the SWIFT & IBAN either separately or together - I just get the same old error message.

Customers should not be directed to the Product Ideas section when raising this issue. This is not a new wishlist - Xero have broken an existing process and should immediately reinstate the ability to enter an IBAN. When designing updates why on earth would you not consult with customers who actually use Xero on a daily basis. Pointless having in house designers who do not even run their own business!

Can I add also - adding Batch Payment Banking Details in the updated contacts - you can add the 3 banking fields that are limited in NZ to 3 x 12 characters. In the old version of contacts, this was a hard limit of 12 characters per field. However, in this updated version, you keep on typing, and only when you tab to the next field does it inform you that you have exceeded 12 characters (in red).

Well Xero, just limit the input length like it was (which would be super helpful rather than counting the number of digits entered all the time.

absolutely agree with you Rhos - we're UK based but only export product - so all our customers are international customers and the only way to buy/sell with international suppliers and customers is to have their IBAN details noted on their files. Configuration of Xero fields means that only UK account numbers are acceptable in the Xero package that we have in the UK - just ridiculous in this day and age

This change will have a major impact on storage of bank details for our international payees as we cannot now record SWIFT/BICS and IBAN details in the bank fields. Please put the contact page back how it was - or at least give us access to the old screen version.
