Swift Code - Automatically Record in Batch Payment
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.

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.
