Xero launches bill pay for US small businesses

Xero has rolled out a new bill payment feature for its U.S. small business customers, allowing them to manage and pay bills directly within the accounting platform. This integration is a direct result of Xero's acquisition of Melio last year, incorporating Melio's bill payment technology. This move positions Xero as a unique offering among major U.S. small business accounting platforms, aiming to streamline financial operations for its users. The company also announced a new CEO for its U.S. operations.
