Don't forget about BPAY for your bills and invoices.
Switching to Xero from another accounting platform can simplify your finances.
Adding Parakeet makes BPAY bill payments and BPAY integration into Xero invoice easy, while protecting against fraud and scams.
Add BPAY to Xero Invoices
💡 Did you know with the rise in fraudulent debits from bank account numbers provided on invoices, BPAY is becoming an increasingly popular and secure payment option.
With Parakeet, you can add BPAY details to your Xero invoices using unique Customer Reference Numbers (CRNs).
Unlike bank details that scammers can alter in email intercepts, BPAY ensures payments reach your account safely.
Once your bank sets up your BPAY facility, Parakeet handles the rest, making it simple for customers to pay you securely and ease your bank reconciliation.

Automate BPAY Bill Payments
Paying BPAY bills manually takes time and effort. Parakeet offers two easy options:
Create a batch file for your bank (works with CBA CommBiz, WBC, NAB Connect) or
Set up auto-pay to handle payments directly from Xero.
Both options mark bills as paid in Xero, simplify reconciliation with one click saving you time and effort.

Compatible with tools like Hubdoc or ApprovalMax, Parakeet securely manages CRNs, updates Xero Contacts, and automate bill payments, protecting against fraud and scams that alter bank details.
