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

It is critical for all payments on the global version of Xero. I cannot create a batch payment file even for our local suppliers in local currency as we are an EU based company which requires an IBAN and BIC/Swift number for all local payments.

It is critical for international bills. Without SWIFT code, how can I pay international creditors?

I have raised this in the past many times before. I am based in Singapore. When I want to make a payment via DBS bank, I am required to tag EACH INDIVIDUAL INVOICE for any vendor with a SWIFT code. why is this necessary. If your intent is to validate that the correct bank and bank branch code is being selected, why do you not offer the ability to tag at the VENDOR level ONCE when i key in the bank information. Why must I tag each invoice every time I need to process a batch payment. Xero spends all its time making cosmetic changes to the UI like ability to view 10 rows instead of 20 which is clearly not adding that much user functionality compared to making vendor payments. The amount of time it takes to tag each invoice is excessive and mind numbing. I cannot even select multiple invoices from a single vendor who i am making payment to a single bank...which is super frustrating. Stop working on features or updates or improvements which do not move the needle much in terms of user experience. Please focus on the important bits.

Unable to create the Xero bulk payment without sync to online banking, should be provide the option by user to choose to create Xero bulk payment without syce the bank account.

Without the swift code just the bank account and name is useless.

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

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.

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. -
