Bank feeds - request specified start date
Provide option to select a specific start date (within, say, the past 24 months) for bank feeds when submitting the online request through Xero. For example, from previous 1 April rather than from the next day after the bank has processed the request. This would relieve the need to request clients to provide a csv from their online banking for past transactions to complete the year’s records. Some clients are not computer confident for even this requirement when setting up their Xero account.
Hi team, while we appreciate the idea here there is no plan to enable automatic import of bank statements when setting up direct bank feeds.
If you'd like to, import historical bank statements you can do this manually and we have detail on how to do this in on Xero Central.
