See what needs paying at a glance

Stop switching between Xero and your bank. Managing international payments doesn’t have to be a headache. With Telleroo, you get a clear, organised view of everything awaiting payment in Xero, all in one place.

  • Need to focus on a particular currency or supplier? Filter by contact, amount, currency or reference.
  • Want to stay ahead of deadlines? Sort by Date, Due Date, or Planned Date in Xero to prioritise upcoming payments and never miss an important bill.

P.S. You can create a single payment if you don't use Xero.

Pay in bulk

Send multiple international payments with ease! Simply select all your invoices in the same currency (USD or EUR) and hit 'Create Pay Run'—it's that simple. 

No need to juggle multiple currencies either. Telleroo seamlessly converts your GBP balance to the desired currency and sends it through local payment schemes like SEPA or SWIFT. Wherever possible, we use the country’s version of Faster Payments to keep things quick and efficient. 

Know what you're paying upfront

Telleroo keeps it simple when it comes to international payments—your fee is based on the total payment amount.

Want an exact price? Check your Telleroo account or use our website calculator. For international payments, you’ll see the "You pay exactly" section, which includes the mid-market exchange rate and our transparent fees.

When you create a pay run, the price is locked for 20 minutes. Approve and send it within that window, and you're set. If not, no worries—the cost will adjust in real-time to keep everything accurate.

"Whenever we needed to send international payments, our go-to used to be Wise. However, Telleroo's international payments feature has made our lives much easier by allowing us to use a single payment platform for sending GBP, Euros, and US Dollars. With Telleroo, there is excellent transparency—we can see exactly how much we will be paying, and with relatively cheap fees." Gemma Lowe, Notwoways
