Batch Payment - Increase limit
Batch Payments - Increase max items per page to 500. We are a large company and often have 200+ bills to pay at one time, meaning we need to create two batches for the one payment run.
7 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for taking the time to share this idea and explain the impact it’s having on your payment runs.
We can absolutely see how splitting one payment run into multiple batches adds extra steps and complexity to the process, especially for organisations managing a high volume of bills.
Because of the support and detail we’re seeing on this idea, we’re moving it to Gaining Support. This helps us better understand how many customers are affected and the different ways this limit is impacting their workflow.
Please keep the feedback coming — if you can, add a comment with a bit more detail about how many bills you’re typically paying in a batch and how this affects your process. That context is really helpful for our team.
Thanks again for raising it and for helping us build a better experience 💙.

Bills - Partial payments via ACH available
Paying bills online. First, THANK YOU for making ACH included in monthly fee. Awesome. I would like you to consider two enhancements: (1) the ability to send a single remittance advice for batched online payments right from Xero (like what is available in regular batch payments). My current workaround is to pull a payments report for multiple invoices paid together and manually email it. (2) the ability to make a partial payment on an invoice. Right now it's all or nothing at all.
4 votesThanks so much for sharing your idea with us — we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know what would make this workflow better for you. 🌟
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so other customers can now vote and add comments to share how this would help their business too. The more support and context an idea gets, the easier it is for our team to understand the impact it’s having.

Contacts - Supplier Statement "Detailed Ledger" (Running Balance Statement)
We need a new report for suppliers that functions as a true detailed ledger with a running balance.
The Problem: When we need to reconcile an account with a supplier, there is no single, clean report that shows a simple chronological history of all bills and payments. We can run a "Supplier Transaction Report," but it's often not in a simple, statement-style format that's easy to read or send to the supplier.
We need the Accounts Payable equivalent of the "Detailed Ledger" statement that is also needed for customers.
The Request (Solution): Please create a new report, "Supplier Detailed Ledger,"…
23 votesHi Jasmine, thanks for sharing this idea with us. We can see why this would be helpful for some users. Currently, Xero offers the Supplier bill activity report and the contacts Activity statement. While this information is available on the account transaction report,it is not available in a Statement format. We've moved this idea to Gaining support so that other users who want this idea implemented can vote for it as well. You may share this idea with your colleagues to get more traction!

Email Template | Remittance - Allow Reference placeholder.
invoice email template options for placeholders allow for the 'reference' placeholder to be inserted.
This needs to be available to be inserted into the remittance email template.
As the placeholder exists, can it be allowed to the dropdown for remittance?

Export File - Update ISO 20022 payment file formats by November 2026
When Xero will consider the new changes for HSBC BACS files and will it make it possible to generate the new standard payment file in Xero directly without using bridged software? HSBC set up a deadline in November 2026 for ISO 20022. Thanks
5 votesHey Illiana, thanks for brining this to us, and for explaining the upcoming HSBC changes so clearly.
We’ve now moved your idea to Gaining Support so other customers can add their votes and comments. That support helps our product team better understand how many customers this change would help and the impact it’s having.

Contacts - Option to add supplier BPAY details
Some suppliers only offer BPAY details to pay their invoices, currently Xero only gives the option to add bank account details to the contact card.
5 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing and supporting this idea.
We can see how being able to add supplier BPAY details directly to a contact would be helpful, especially when a supplier only accepts BPAY. Right now, Xero only supports bank account details on the contact, so BPAY details like biller code and reference number aren’t captured in a dedicated way.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so we can better understand how many customers this impacts and the different ways BPAY is being used. If this would help your workflow, please add your vote and share a comment with a bit more detail about how you currently manage these payments.
Thanks again for raising this — we’ll keep you updated here as we learn more.

Batch Payment - Option to add another when creating
Navigation. Wouldn't it make life easier when paying bills if you could create a batch and then go directly back to the Purchases Overview to create the next one. At the moment it's Create a Batch Payment then > Purchases > Bills. Repeat the process.
19 votesThanks for your idea, Karen. Understand how this would improve efficiency if you regularly create multiple batches in your workflow. We'll get a sense of the wider community interest in this from your idea here.

Bills - Enable direct, integrated bill payments through Wise from the Xero
Feature Request: Pay with Wise for Non-UK Companies
We would like to request that Xero extend the “Pay with Wise” / Direct Bill Pay functionality to non-UK companies as well.
Currently, businesses outside the UK need to initiate payments separately in Wise and then sync them back to Xero. Enabling direct Wise bill payments within Xero for non-UK entities would significantly improve efficiency, streamline AP processes, and reduce manual work for global businesses using Xero.
Please consider making this feature available for non-UK Xero organisations.
3 votesHi Anikam, thanks for taking the time to suggest this.
Being able to pay bills directly through Wise from within Xero could help streamline international payment workflows and reduce the need to switch between platforms.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support. If this is a feature you'd like to see, please continue to vote and share how this capability would fit into your workflow. Your feedback helps us better understand the value this integration could provide.

Bills - Include an "approved by" column
Include an "approved by" column in the bills awaiting payment screen. This assists high-level review of bills before payment is made and might highlight any one-off or non-standard payments that require additional inspection before payment is made.
3 votesThanks for sharing this idea.
We can see the value in having the approver’s name visible in the Bills to pay view so it’s easier to identify who approved a bill without needing to open it.
We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support while we gauge interest from the community and better understand how often this would help customers managing bill approvals in Xero.
If this would improve your workflow, please keep voting and add any extra detail about how you’d use it day to day. That feedback helps us understand the need and shape future improvements.

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.
21 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!

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
5 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 - 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.

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.
3 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you.

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.
3 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.

Bill Payments - 2 stage approval process for online bill payment
Online Bill Payments - Can this please have better security applied to it, requiring 2 approvers to release funds. The current design with a single approver to release funds in the Australian version goes against a lot of company governance policies requiring 2 approvers to release payments. Otherwise, how is Xero preventing a user creating a fraudulent bill, approving it and paying it without needing anyone else to be involved.
1 voteHi everyone, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on this idea. We can understand why having a two-stage approval process for online bill payments could be useful for businesses with internal approval policies or multiple people involved in authorising payments.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue to track interest from the community.
As we gather feedback, it would also be helpful to understand how you'd like this to work in practice. For example, should approvals be based on payment value, specific users or roles, or support multiple approval levels? If you have particular approval workflows or controls that are important for your business, please share them below.

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.
1 voteThanks 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.

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
