# 12 Jan: Version 5.6.0 – Payee Data Model Upgrade, ACH Flexibility, and Smarter Batch Statuses

Version **5.6.0** delivers a major upgrade to payee management and payment accuracy across the platform. This release introduces a **new Payee Data Model**, enabling multiple bank accounts per payee and a fully redesigned Payees experience. It also adds greater flexibility for ACH routing configurations, improves batch status accuracy, and expands bulk actions for managing payee invitations.

***

#### ✨ **New Features**

* **New Payee Data Model & Payees Redesign:** Introduced a new underlying Payee Data Model that supports **multiple bank accounts per payee**, alongside a complete redesign of the Payees module for improved clarity, navigation, and scalability.
* **Flexible ACH Routing Configuration:** Added support for configuring an **ACH-specific routing number**, separate from routing numbers used for checks and digital checks, providing greater control over payment processing.
* **Accurate Batch Status Based on Payment Outcomes:** Updated batch status logic so that when all payments share the same outcome (e.g., all voided, rejected, or canceled), the batch status accurately reflects the true state of the batch.
* **Bulk Actions for Payee Invitations:** Added the ability to **bulk re-send and cancel payee onboarding invitations**, streamlining payee management for teams working with large volumes.

#### ➕ **Improved**

* **Payees Experience:** Improved responsiveness and visual consistency across the redesigned Payees module to support the new data model.
