    Hi everyone, further to our last post I wanted to provide another update for our US customers as we now have a bill payments solution powered by Melio! Xero has acquired Melio, a leading US bill pay platform designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses, and accountants and bookkeepers in the US. While we value our partnership with BILL, we decided that acquiring Melio was the right strategic move to accelerate our ability to provide a seamless, integrated payments solution within Xero for our US customers. Powered by Melio, you can securely pay bills online, directly from Xero.

    As previously shared in the UK customers can now pay overseas suppliers easier with international bill payments, saving the need to use multiple platforms and savings in fees. Whether you're paying a single bill or multiple bills at once.

    We’re committed to finding new ways to expand our bill payments…

    Previously - Australian businesses using Xero that have NAB internet banking had been able to instruct multiple bill payments at a time through Xero and approve their bill payments anytime, anywhere, directly in the NAB mobile app.

    This feature was excellent as it allowed payments to be uploaded to the NAB App to an approver without the business' finance staff having to log into the bank directly.

    Similarly, instead of uploading an ABA file for a bulk payment run, each individual transaction would show on the NAB Internet banking app and therefore the approver could either accept or reject all or hand-pick individual transactions to approve or reject. With ABA files if a file needs to be changed, the entire ABA file needs to be canceled and then reissued.

    In addition when the transactions appear on the bank feed/statement, instead of being a bulk amount for the entire sum of the aba file transactions, each individual payment shows line-by-line on the statement making reconciliation fool-proof and also automatic.

    In Dec-22, this feature was unilaterally turned off by Xero with no alternative provided.

    We request this feature be turned back on or provide this functionality with a different vendor.
