Batch Payments - Supplier batch payment without swift code or linked bank account
I would like Xero to remove or make it optional when making batch supplier payment without swift code or linking with bank account as not every company will link their xero with their bank. Current batch payment is not applicable to my company as we do not link our bank account with xero. This compulsory swift code for bank processing is really not user friendly & our company book keeper has to enter supplier payment 1 by 1 for 20 invoice payment.

In Xero, the current requirement for a SWIFT code or linked bank account when processing batch supplier payments can be limiting for businesses that prefer not to connect their bank directly to the system. Many companies manage payments manually or through external banking portals, so the mandatory bank linkage and SWIFT details make the batch payment feature less practical, forcing bookkeepers to process multiple invoices individually, which increases time and effort. Ideally, Xero should provide an optional batch payment workflow that allows users to generate payment files or records without requiring direct bank integration, making it more flexible for different accounting setups. This would especially help businesses handling multiple supplier invoices efficiently without repetitive manual entry. For example, just like accessing structured real estate information on platforms such as https://faisalhillsmap.pk helps users explore Faisal Hills plots without unnecessary complexity, accounting systems should also offer simplified and adaptable workflows that suit different business needs instead of enforcing rigid banking requirements.

Additional bank information like the BSB no is required by the banks in my region to facilitate batch payment. Can Xero allow for this to be included in the supplier contact?
