UK Payroll - Pay employees directly via Open Banking
With the advent of Open Banking, it would be great if when you submit the payroll, it could also utilise OB to physically make the payment to the employee also. This would help automate the whole payroll process.

Thanks for supporting this idea, everyone. We appreciate the efficiency being able to directly pay your employees from Xero would bring to your workflow and the time it'd give back. 😊
Our product team are now in testing of new functionality to allow direct wage payments within UK Payroll via open banking with Crezco. I'll be back to share more as this progresses.

Utilising Crezco for this similar to payables would be a effective solution.

This is such a basic requirement I can't believe we even need to vote for it

We can't upload a BACS or CHAPS file with standard business banking (Barclays).
It would be much easier to pay employees directly using batch payments via Crezco like we have the ability to do with invoices, and avoid input errors that need adjusting on reconciliation.

It is at least also an opportunity for Xero to generate revenue, which surely should move this up the list!

I absolutely can't believe this isn't already a feature! Sadly I was told by a Xero agent that this was the case, and was one of the reasons we moved to Xero payroll.

I raised the question directly in support and apparently there is no planned development on this.
FFS Xero - surely you can see that this would be the logical next step rather than pretend you never saw this question coming? It's hardly surprising is it?
Do better.
