Chart of Accounts - Increase "Bank Account Number" Limit
Chart of Accounts - Increase "Bank Account Number" Limit
Currently the account number is limited to 20 characters.
A International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is the standard for bank account numbers in Europe. I can be as much as 34 characters long.
Please extend the length of the Bank Account Number to 34 characters.

I strongly emphasize the need for Xero to support international contacts with the ability to enter full bank account information. This is a basic functionality that is essential for businesses managing international clients or vendors, yet it currently remains unavailable.
Implementing this change is straightforward, yet it has significant implications for efficiency and accuracy in accounting operations. Enabling full international banking details will reduce errors, streamline payment processes, and allow Xero users to manage global business interactions effectively. This is not just a convenience—it is a necessity for companies operating beyond domestic boundaries.
I urge Xero to prioritize this feature in your development roadmap. Providing support for international contacts in this manner aligns with the expectations of modern global businesses and would substantially improve the Xero experience. -

Ideally make it as long as 50 to also capture swift code as there is no separate field available.

I have exactly the same issue. IBAN in Switzerland 21 or more numbers, Germany 22, and I cannot add them. Any progress from Xero on this?
