UK Payroll - Select file type for batch payments
At the moment Xero only produce standard 18 format files for paying employees electronically. There is very minimal banks that accept this kind of format. I I think it would be of great use if we could upload a template file to Xero of the format our bank accepts and it then produces this type of file for us.

I have recently moved banks to Barclays.net as the facility with them to upload payroll and supplier files is extremely efficient.
Until today I was not aware that Xero payroll did not export the files in the correct format.
I am really disappointed with this and may look to have to move our business accounts back to Sage. I agree with comments from other users that surely this is an minor adjustment to enable Xero to download in the correct format -

We have this same problem with Santander Bank. Xero format doesn't match their as well.

UK Bank upload: Please can you sort out the Bacs/faster payment facility in Payroll? It needs to be compatible with UK Banks to avoid having to manually enter 80 payments into the bank.....please please!

the BACS and faster payment templates in Payroll are not compatible with Bank Uploads, after long conversations with both the Bank & Xero support it appears that Xero have amended templates for general payments but not payroll making the product... in my opinion, inferior. If Xero only wishes to target very small employers then that's fine and I am a big fan! However surely it is only a small adjustment needed to take it to the next level??

Add the option to download payroll BACS files in other formats than the Standard 18 format. The current option is a problem where a bank does not accept the Standard 18 format and employees have to be paid using an alternative method.

It would be a good idea to be able to download the payroll bank file in something other than standard 18 format
Our bank doesnt support standard 18 format so I assume other people must be in the same boat ?
