v1.0.6

v1.0.6 — 2026-06-28

Added

• Encrypted backup & restore — save a portable backup of your payees, batches and
  settings, protected by a password you choose (AES-256-GCM). The on-disk store is
  locked to one machine; a backup lets you move your data to a new computer or keep a
  safe copy, and the file is unreadable without the password.
• Column-mapping on import — importing a CSV/spreadsheet now opens a "Match your
  columns" screen, pre-filled with PayBatch's best guess, with a live preview. Map
  arbitrary spreadsheet layouts (sort code/account, or IBAN/BIC for SEPA) instead of
  relying on a fixed column order.
• In-app auto-update — PayBatch can now download and install updates itself (with
  your consent) and restart into the new version, instead of just linking to the
  Releases page. Available on signed builds.

Changed

• ISO 20022 / SEPA XML is now validated against the official ISO 20022 schemas
  (pain.001.001.09 / pain.001.001.03) in the test suite, guarding against format
  regressions.

v1.0.5

PayBatch v1.0.5 — now signed & notarized for macOS. 🎉

Includes everything from v1.0.4: 10 banks (Santander + HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, TSB, Co-operative, Metro), four formats (Bacs · Standard 18 · ISO 20022 · SEPA), UK modulus checking, and a searchable bank picker.

Installing

• macOS — signed & notarized, just double-click to open. On first run macOS may ask to allow access to your keychain (it's the app's own encrypted local storage) → click Always Allow.
• Windows — not code-signed yet; if SmartScreen appears → More info → Run anyway.
• Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt.

Changed

• macOS builds are now code-signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple — no more "PayBatch is damaged" warning.

v1.0.4

Installing

• macOS: if you see "PayBatch is damaged", it isn't — the app just isn't notarized yet. Move it to Applications, then run once in Terminal:

  xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/PayBatch.app
  

• Windows: if SmartScreen appears → More info → Run anyway.
• Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt.

A big multi-bank, multi-format release.

Added

• 10 banks now generate files — Santander (Bacs import + mixed) plus, via the
  cross-bank engines below, HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, TSB, Co-operative and
  Metro Bank. Each is marked "verify with a test upload".
• ISO 20022 pain.001 (XML) — the modern cross-bank standard. UK domestic GBP
  credit transfers (pain.001.001.09, sort code + account).
• SEPA credit transfers — pay euros to IBANs across the EU/EEA
  (pain.001.001.03). The grid swaps to IBAN/BIC columns, IBANs are
  checksum-validated, and BIC is optional (IBAN-only).
• UK modulus checking — the official VocaLink / Pay.UK check on every sort code +
  account number; an amber warning flags combinations that can't be real accounts
  (likely typos). It's a warning, not a block. Validated against VocaLink's official
  test cases.
• Searchable bank picker — a responsive card grid grouped into Available and
  Coming soon, with a search box. Coming-soon tiles for Nationwide and the fintechs
  (Revolut, Wise, Tide, Starling, Monzo, Currencycloud).
• Bank-by-bank format reference (FORMATS.md).

Notes

• The new formats are best-effort from public specifications (not bank-supplied
  samples). Always do one test upload before a real payment run.
