With email? Not that I can think of.

But with regular payments? Yes, most UK banks offer batch payment facilities to business customers in the form of a CSV interface.

It's how a lot of wages are processed. The wage/accounting tool produces a batch payment file, and the bank just processes it.

If only the US banking system was as advanced as Europe's...

I don't know whether that's sarcasm or not.

I originally didn't include "UK" in my post, but then realised that my knowledge was only of UK banks and that like direct debits it may be a country specific thing.

No no, it was actually sincere. I think that the UK's financial ecosystem is far more advanced than ours in the US... Money transfers are faster, more secure, and there's more of a general sense of progress...

Except for that one bank that managed to not be able to run it's nightly batches for nearly a month earlier this year. (RBS I think?)

FWIW, CSV upload for ACH payment is a typical feature of online banking for business accounts in the US.
