Manually adding external bank accounts to Payhawk

Apart from adding external accounts through the Yapily open banking API and linking them to Payhawk, you can also manually add accounts to the system.

These accounts can be used as a payment source for expenses marked as paid in Payhawk, allowing you to download SEPA XML payment run files for seamless processing.
