    Thanks everyone, we thoroughly appreciate your feedback on changes when adding or editing a contact. 


    Since the initial release, our team have made an update and you'll find you can now enter IBAN and SWIFT into account number without it throwing errors. 


    Currently, if you save information into the account number field it'll spread across the bank account prefix and bank account number fields - The thing to note is that this will not impact processing of batch payments and will be one field when exported for batch payments.


    We understand it’s not the perfect solution and are looking at further enhancing this - I'll keep you updated here.

    absolutely agree with you Rhos - we're UK based but only export product - so all our customers are international customers and the only way to buy/sell with international suppliers and customers is to have their IBAN details noted on their files. Configuration of Xero fields means that only UK account numbers are acceptable in the Xero package that we have in the UK - just ridiculous in this day and age
