Batch Payments - Ability to add bills to an existing batch
Add a "add Bill" button to enable you to add a bill after the batch has been created without cancelling the batch and redoing.
25 votesHi christine, is this a common situation you find yourself or business running into? It'd be good to understand more detail if there are common circumstances that lead you to needing to edit a batch payment after it's been created.
For the time being we'll start to feel out the interest in this from community. Thanks!

remittance email address
When using the new Online Bill Payment platform, during the sequence of pages to schedule the payment, the pages don't note the email address that the remittance notification will be emailed to.
We understand how to enter that email in the contact record. It would be nice to see it on the screen during the bill payment scheduling process so that we can validate the correct email will receive it without having to enter the contact record.

Option to display the Payment Reference instead of "Payment: multiple items" with batched payment
At the moment when going through transactions in Xero, batched payment lines show "Payment: multiple items", which is not useful and require the user to click into each of them to understand which supplier has been paid.
Given the batched payment has the option to add a Payment Reference, it would be a simple QOL improvement if that is shown with the transaction.
For example, currently what is shown:
13 Oct 2026 Payment: multiple items Batch Payment 10,871.32A better way is to show:
13 Oct 2026 Payment Reference: ApplesBannana Batch Payment 10,871.32Thanks for your consideration!

Batch Payments - Automate Batch loading to Commbiz platform
Currently we create batch payments and then manually upload the ABA file to CommBiz however this takes extra time and could be a control risk. Could you please look at being able to directly upload batch files from Xero to the CommBiz platform without needing the ABA file.
Thanks
6 votesHi Jessica, thanks for sharing your idea here. Batch payments are designed to be downloaded and uploaded without the need for any changes to be made outside of Xero. We'd be keen to get a bit more understanding of the control risk you're referring to. 😃
However, automation of batch payments is a great idea in itself so we've opened this up to the community to gain more support. We'll monitor this space in the meantime and provide any feedback on any changes or updates.

Batch payment (NZ) - Send batch direct to bank from Xero
Batch payment used to be able to send the batch direct to the bank, whereas now we have to export to a file, then upload the file to the bank program, which is multiple unnecessary steps and subject to file tampering and adjustment. Why does Xero remove great features like this and then charge more to use Xero - it is hard to fathom, but perhaps the banks were charging Xero for this wonderful feature and now Xero is cost cutting. It is hard to think of another reason for removing an excellent feature.

Checks - Generate Positive Pay files for US bank check verification
Banks are requiring positive pay files, but Xero doesn't have a positive pay file report. I have to manually export a report and make changes, before it can be uploaded to the bank
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for Xero to generate Positive Pay files directly for US banks. Having a built-in export could reduce manual spreadsheet formatting and make it easier to meet bank check-verification requirements.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this could improve your workflow, add your vote and share which bank formats you’d need to support.

Batch Payment - Make reference mandatory
It would be great for the payment reference field at the top of the page to be a compulsory field when generating a batch payment. Given that it is required in order to generate an ABA file at the end of the process it causes a lot of issues if someone new or someone who is rushing skips filling it in, then you either have to reverse and redo or edit the batch in order to add the reference and generate the ABA.
4 votesThanks for sharing, Matthew. We don't have any plans for making this field mandatory atm but appreciate the extra steps of having to redo if it's been overlooked. We'll start to get a sense of the wider interest for this here.

Pay Bills - Supplier categories to identify payment type
It would be very helpful if we could add a category to suppliers to identify those we pay by direct debit and by credit card and to be able to filter or exclude the bills awaiting payment by those categories
2 votesThanks for taking the time to share this idea. 😊 and for letting us know being able to identify suppliers paid by direct debit or credit card, and separate their bills awaiting payment, could make payment runs easier. We’ll open the idea up for the community to add votes and comments. We’ll keep a pulse on the interest it receives and share any updates here.

Online Bill Payment - access to source document for BPAY details
BPAY details are not held on the contact record and have to be captured every time when paying a bill through this mechanism. Without having access to the source document while making the OBP we need to have it open on another screen or printed out. This slows the process down and introduces another risk factor.
Please could the attachment icon be included as part of the OBP process.
Thanks Andrew1 voteThanks so much for sharing this idea 🙂 We can see how having to look up and re-enter the BPAY biller code and reference each time could slow things down and increase the chance of errors. Saving these details to the supplier’s contact would make the payment process much smoother. For now, we’d like to get a sense of the support for this from the community.

Bill Payments - Increase limit on Value
Currently, Xero is unable to generate a payment file when the bills amount are too large. While Support has advised that there isn't a specific limit on the number or value of bills, we had issue when we tried to batch payments from the bills that the system considered 'too large'. This means that we need to make these payments manually and when there are a large number of high-value bills, this significantly reduces processing efficiency and increases the administrative workload.
2 votesThanks for sharing this idea. We understand how not being able to generate a payment file for large-value bill batches can create extra manual work and slow down your payment process.
We’ve reviewed your idea and are moving it to Gaining Support so other customers can add their votes and feedback. This helps our product team better understand the level of demand and the impact this is having for customers.
We’ll keep you updated here if there’s any progress to share.

Batch payment - Unique id that can be matched when reconciling
To verify batch summary that was loaded in the bank. Reduce the risk of file being replaced by staff
8 votesThanks for the extra detail, Yash. I've slightly updated the title of your idea here to reflect this and we'll start to rack the interest in this from others in the community here.

Crezco - Automatically default Reconcile To account to selected Pay From bank account
When paying a bill, when I select which account to pay from, please can you default "Reconcile to" to the same account. Currently I have to select the account twice every time I pay a bill. Or make "Reconcile to" optional, only to be used when you want to reconcile to a different account from the one used to pay the bill.
1 voteThanks for bringing this to the community, David. Having Reconcile To default to the account selected in Pay From could make processing bill payments more straightforward.
We’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If this would be useful, add your vote and let us know if you’d expect the field to always match or remain editable.

Bills - Separate Payee Name field for vendor factor payments
We need a separate Payee name field for our Vendors. We have several vendors who factor their AR so we need to pay the factor company, not our vendor. Currently, the only way to do this is manually which is a hassle when writing a batch of checks.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We understand the request for a separate Payee Name field so payments can be made to a factoring company without changing the supplier's main contact details.
I’ve updated the status to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. How do you imagine this working in Xero, and where would you expect the Payee Name to be used?

Bill payment | Melio - Partial payments
Melio - Partial Bill Payments
Currently unable to do a partial bill payment with Melio in Xero. Note: this is a very straightforward process when using Melio directly, but unfortunate now that I've cancelled that subscription and migrated the entire process to Xero).The support center provided a cumbersome "hack", which really lowers the value of doing this process in Xero (to reduce manual steps/processes). Here's the hack:
(1) Manually record a part payment on the bill for the balance still due (the amount you don’t want to pay now).
(2) Process payment via online bill payments for the balance…1 voteAppreciate you sharing this idea with us here, Greg.
We're continuing to build on our bill payments solutions and this is something we'll consider for future improvements.
In the meantime, make sure to share your idea with any colleagues that may also like to see this - we'd love to get a better sense of interest.

Remittance advice - Ability to show foreign currency
As a business we deal in several currency so the ability to be able to send a remittance advice to a supplier that has been paid in a foreign currency similar to how this is done for suppliers in GBP would be a great help to ensure there are no queries with payments to suppliers paid in foreign currency

Checks - Vendor details pull through automatically
I don't like the new vendor payment system. I want go back to the old system of paying by check. With new system you have to re-enter the vendor information to send a payment. Don't like it. How do i revert back to paying with my own checks.
1 voteThanks for your feedback on the new process.
At this stage, it isn’t possible to switch back to the previous check payment process.

Xero Accounting app - Ability to Make Payments with Crezco
Button on the mobile app to pay bills, which will then use Crezco. This is how it works on Desktop but I can't see this feature on the mobile and I find myself often trying to pay bills while on the go, it would be much easier to start the flow from Xero, rather than switching between the Xero app and Banking app.

Bills - Add 'Make Payment' option available in Canada for 'Bills'.
In Canada, 'Make Payment' button is not available in 'Bills'. It would be nice to make payment directly from the Bills instead making payment from the bank.

Bills - Make pop-up notifications optional
Could the pop-up windows that appears when I approve a bill be optional? It blocks the view of the next bill that pops up.
1 voteThanks so much for taking the time to share this idea with us. We understand how frustrating it can be when you’re trying to work through bills quickly and the approval pop-up interrupts your view of the next one.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers would like more control over this experience.
For now, as a workaround, you can click the x on the pop-up to dismiss it. We really appreciate you sharing your feedback — it helps us understand where small moments in the workflow can have a big impact.
