    Hi everyone, appreciate there are more regions users would like to see us adopt solutions for and we'll keep you in the know of any progress, here.

    In the UK, we have some updates with the bill payments method with Crezco. You now have more control of your cashflows with the ability to schedule bills to be paid at a future date using direct bank transfer. This'll help avoid potential bank charges for same day transactions, and missing due dates. Along with this you'll also be able to stay up to date with your payments with real-time payment status in Xero. Meaning you don't have to log into your bank to check the status of each bill payment. With an overview of all payments made using direct bank transfer, you have an accurate record of which suppliers have been paid, and when.

    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.
