    Trying to load Xero payroll BACS file into RBS Bankline and it appears that the files coming out of Xero Payroll (BACS/Faster Payments) are not compatible with Bankline. Does Xero generate a CSV file that would be compatible?

    Also most banks seem to be moving towards the industry standard of BACSTEL-IP file so surely Xero will be embracing this as I believe it is to be a worldwde standard format.

    If you load in a BACS or faster Payments file it just encounters errors. I have uploaded a picture of this.

    I am struglling to understand why there is not compatibility. Does Xero not have other clients that experience the same problem with uploading from Xero to Bankline?

    RBS also mentioned that there is an option to pay direct to bankline a salary from Xero - I am struggling to find this functionality. Does this need to be activated? At the moment there only seems to be the bank feed from RBS.

    Surely Xero is desIgned to be compatible as it is meant to take the pain out of pay roll which to the most part it does.

    The whole idea regarding wanting to export a payroll file is to limit human error and time spent in entering the information into the bank?
