   Hi Iain, having a quick search it appears that Coutts accept 2 file type formats, TXT and CSV. 

   It is currently possible to export a CSV file from batch payments - read more on Xero Central.  

   I've slightly adjusted the title of your idea here to request TXT format, however want to be open that we don't have plans for developing new file formats for batch payments at this time.
