Enter your idea

I would like to add my support for this feature. Is there any update on the beta that was being tested?

Is there an update on this please?

The tool batch2sepa (see xero app store, global region) supports foreign currency bills when creating batch payments files. The payment files generated are SEPA compliant for use with (generally) European banks.

Hi, I also would like to voice my strong support for the idea of batch payments in foreign currency. When can we get Xero to make this happen!

Adding my voice to this issue, I have clients wondering why the extra expense for multi currency does not incorporate batch payments.

Journals in multi currency ? ...let's not go there...

this is now becoming very important as we now purchase more euro products - when you have about 30 invoices to pay in euro and you have to do them one at a time it takes so long :( Are you going to be able to provide this service at any time? Thank you :)

Hi Xero Team,

Is there any update on this concern? You have multiple users asking for feedback and I can see none responded. Can you please suggest a work around on this?

or we can just go ahead and look for other accounting platform?

Please can you update if you work on batch payments? I see that you enabled cresco international payments, but 0,35% per payment amount can be expensive, iif you have to pay very big invoices each month or if you have more than 1000 suppliers, therefore we prefer to prepare batches and upload themself in our banks where the conditions are much cheaper.

Need this ASAP, this would save so much time

Can you give an update as to when this Beta is available in North America, Canada & USA

Is there an update on when this beta feature will be available globally? I just spent a lot of time converting to Xero based on its apparent strength in multiple currencies, only to discover that I can't batch pay bills in foreign currency.

I wish I hadn't spent all this time on Xero 😒

For those of you in the UK - why not try something that will save you time and your business money vs. making foreign or domestic payments with your bank and waiting for the fix from Xero?...

HedgeFlows.com offers a flexible approval process, embedded (but optional) FX at market-leading rates, and the ability to schedule payment runs days or weeks in advance with a full audit trail, automated remittances and real-time reconciliation to Xero.

Please see the reviews in Xero marketplace: https://apps.xero.com/uk/app/hedgeflows/reviews

If you sign up until 31/01/25 with code "ALEXSENTME", you get a FREE 3-month subscription, which includes 100 local payments in GBP, EUR or USD each month.

We don't need to make actual payments via Xero (these are set up and approved separately in our bank), however we do need to mark multiple foreign currency bills as paid in Xero (and send out a remittance advice). Is this covered in the fix you are working on?

@ Kelly Munro (Community Manager, Xero).

I have completed the form twice to join the beta, there is no option in my Xero dashboard to join.

I don't understand why Xero doesn't allow a CSV file to be created for the Euro payments or have a report function. Then we can use this to import into Barclays.net and pay out from our Euro account.

Under reports there is a Payable Invoice Detail, if I can add the IBAN and BIC then we can create a CSV file and convert this to a SIF file using macros.

Xero is an International organisation many of your subscribers worldwide must be facing the same issue.

This is a very important feature to add/build.

Dear Xero Team, do you have an update about batch payments in foreign currency, is there a development in place? I think it should not a huge problem to enable it also for foreign currency as it works for the base currency, We expanded our company and next year we will again expand, but the missing of such feature brings us to the point, if it is not better to think about, if we should move to a different bookeeping software, because to prepare every month manually single payments, for each supplier will increase the risk to make mistakes, increase with every new client our efforts. We work more than 10 Years with Xero and we love it, it is simple, user friendly, but at some point we will have so much suppliers that the efforts for preparing payments takes at every payment run more than two days, which blocks our ressources,(prepare a list of all payments for approval, than add each payment manually in our bank, check again if there is no mistake,...) We have reach now around 500 suppliers and now it would be critical.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO BATCH PAY THE FOREIGN CURRENCY INSTEAD OF HAVING TO PAY ALL INVOICES SEPERATE - IT ONLY ALLOWS BATCH PAYMENTS IN OUR BASE CURRENCY :)

Yes, i agree with Andrew, we are a global telecommunication operator, our main currencys are USD and EUR. We dont need an additional payment service like Cresco, which will bring us for every single transaction an additional fee on top. What we need is a bulk payment option for foreign currencys, like it works for GBP. This we import to our Bank accounts and enabled the payments via confirmation. We have added USD, EUR and GBP accounts in Xero, where the automatic feed works, so here we have no issue, but for outgoing foreign currency payments we miss an option for the Bills, which awaiting payments. We must made for each outgoing transaction from our side, a manual payment entry. But with a bulk/batch payment we can import it and save efforts, and reduced the fees from our side, because our bank discount such file payments. We have more departments over the world, all other bookeeping softwares has such features, only in Xero UK it is missing, that is really pitty.

its a feature we all want. Please provide this feature.

I request the urgent implementation of a foreign currency batch payment option in Xero. Currently, reconciling international transactions is challenging due to the lack of this feature. Our team faces difficulties matching over 50 daily transactions, leading to an extremely time-consuming reconciliation process.

Specifically, we struggle with recognizing claim payments made during international trips or meetings and managing regular vendor supplies (services/materials) with partial or bulk payments. The absence of this feature hinders our efficiency.

I kindly request that the Xero development team prioritize the rollout of this essential feature to streamline our accounting processes. Your prompt attention to this matter would greatly enhance our user experience.

Thank you for considering our feedback.
