    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.

    The current options for payment are very poor.
    1) I recorded the sequence for creating a batch file and then paying in online banking. It took 16 clicks! More than half of these were in Xero. That is very clunky.
    2) I can maually go into online banking and pay. This is much faster but then I have to retype the payment reference which creates opportunity for error.

    Surely you can link an instruction directly from Xero to pay from the bank account.
