Today, we’re excited to share that we’re launching a new bill payment experience in the UK. We’re the first major small business cloud accounting software in the UK to offer on-platform bill payments using open banking. This gives you a simple and secure way to manage, approve and pay bills, without leaving Xero. And if your employees or advisor are preparing bills for payment, they can easily hand them to you for final review and payment authentication, so you stay in control of your bank account. For our bills payments experience, we’ve partnered with Crezco, a payment institution that’s authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide open banking payment services in the UK.
The new technology is underpinned by open banking, which is quickly becoming a best practice standard in the UK for securely sharing financial data between banks and third-party providers. Thanks to open banking, funds are available to your suppliers almost immediately. Best of all, there are no monthly subscription costs — once you’ve connected your bank account, you only pay when you select direct bank transfer as the payment method.
