Hi everyone, thanks for voting and sharing your feedback here.
From the Contacts page you can already click the quick link to the official ABN lookup page to verify a number yourself. Our product team have reviewed the commentary here and appreciate that the ability to do this from within Xero would enhance the process, however at this stage there are no firm plans or timelines surrounding this. As always we'll be sure to return here if there's more news to share 📢

MYOB has been doing this for YEARS! Would be nice for Xero to catch up. Of course, they will probably put it across three screens that you will need to scroll next through to complete the task.

This is a great idea. The search should return the registered company name, any registered trading names and GST registration status. This can be checked against the customer's invoice.

Expand this idea to include similar functionality for the NZBN (using the NZ Companies API ?)
