Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to share feedback about paying multiple bills in foreign currencies with us here.
As mentioned in my last update UK organisations can use our online bill payments solution with Crezco to pay international suppliers.
UK businesses can now use open banking to pay suppliers in 180+ countries, including in EUR, USD and AUD, either individually or in batches. Payments can be prepared by a team member, authorised and tracked in Xero.
To share further progress in the US we've launched online bill payments through Melio, which includes ACH and international or cross-border payments.
We've also launched a bill payments solution for AU with AirWallex that's currently in early access. This doesn't yet support paying in foreign currency however this functionality is high on our radar as we continue to develop this experience.
We’ll continue to share progress as the further regional capabilities develop. Thanks

Hi Kelly, When will Australian users be able to select multiple international currency Bills and mark them as "Paid"? We don't need to be able to create international bill payments directly from Xero or create an ABA File. We just need to send a remittance to our supplier on the day the Bills are paid, rather than waiting until after the payment has been reconciled.

Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest surrounding this idea, however we want to be open that we're unable to extend our log-out time past 60 minutes. Xero hold a lot of sensitive information including bank data and we're required to be as secure as online banking.
Any session information running on a web browser can potentially be stolen. If the session does not time out. You then have an infinitely long vulnerability window to session hijacking. Our best option is to keep a tight expiration window on the session cookie, and regenerate them frequently. Even setting a long timeout doesn't help with this - too long a timeout will greatly increase the risk of invasion or potentially jeopardise your personal data and the safety and integrity of the Xero application itself. This is why we maintain control of this.
If we detect there's been no activity on a page (e.g…Rebecca Gligoritsch

To be absolutely clear, we are not asking Xero to pay foreign-currency bills.
We are asking for the ability to select multiple FX invoices and allocate them to a payment that we have already made independently, allowing us to generate a remittance and subsequently reconcile the transaction easily.
It is incredibly frustrating to see hundreds of comments from customers explaining essentially the same requirement, in many different ways, while the responses from Xero continue to address a different problem.
There is clearly a disconnect between what customers are actually requesting and what Xero's technical team believes is being requested.
This is fundamentally an invoice allocation and remittance workflow issue, not a request for Xero to facilitate foreign-currency payments.
