Batch Payment - Support TXT file format
Allow a bank file that is supported by Coutts to allow batch payments to be made.

Hi Iain, having a quick search it appears that Coutts accept 2 file type formats, TXT and CSV.
It is currently possible to export a CSV file from batch payments - read more on Xero Central.
I've slightly adjusted the title of your idea here to request TXT format, however want to be open that we don't have plans for developing new file formats for batch payments at this time.

The issue that I see, no matter which US Bank we use, is that the CSV file export from Xero does not split the routing and account in two columns. All banks require this split it seems. along with having some other fields (customizable would be ideal). I imagine it wouldn't be too much to dev on Xero's end.
More importantly, an export from Xero in Nacha file format (txt) would be the main thing we all need. Given the Aus version of Xero already has this equivalent in an ABA file, I can't see that a NACHA file would be that hard to dev out on the US side for Xero either. But then, I am no developer!
