Bank Feeds - Bank Feeds for ethical banks
Our charity places values first and in searching for a new current account for our organisation, ones with high ethical standards that synchronise with Xero is a very restricted field. CAF, Unity Trust, Triodos for example do not have bank feeds and they say this capacity sits with Xero. We currently bank with The Cooperative that scores well, and we have had to leave Barclays who have been exposed as very poor. To reduce risk we must have another account so my idea is that Xero takes the lead on establishing connections with more ethical banks enabling better choice for stakeholders and encouraging better banking practices.

Hi team, apologies we haven’t engaged on this thread sooner.
We wanted to share a few updates here, some of which a few of you've already helpfully called out(thank you).
In 2024, we introduced direct feeds for Triodos, and in November 2025 we released a direct feed for Unity Trust Bank.
Right now, our team is progressing the CAF bank feed idea, and we’ll return to here once there’s more to share and confirm on this feed.
Our Banking team continues to explore and develop new bank connections, so it’s really helpful for us to have a separate idea for each financial institution you’d like to see connected to Xero. This helps us track demand clearly and share specific requests with the team.
If there are other bank connections you’d like us to consider, please create a new idea for each one so we can track them individually. Thanks 🙂

I agree, we have multiple accounts with CAF bank and a bank feed would really help us. CAF bank have told me they have the required connection (API) and need Xero to request it from them. It would be great if Xero could support Charities in this.

I'm hearing the same thing - we really really need a CAF Bank feed because we have thousands of donation transactions. They told me that this sits with Xero to act upon.

Would love there to be a bank feed for CAF Bank. At present CAF Bank only has a direct feed with QuickBooks because QBs apparently requested it. With Xero championing charity based clients through the subscription reduction, please support further by providing this essential bank feed.
