Homepage - Add new bank accounts to homepage by default
Automatically show new bank accounts on the Homepage
When a new bank account is added in Xero, it currently defaults to being hidden until the user manually clicks “Add to homepage.” This creates an extra, unnecessary step.
Suggestion:
Have newly added bank accounts appear on the Homepage by default, with the option to hide them if users prefer. This would streamline the setup process and reduce friction for users who expect new accounts to be visible immediately.

Thanks so much for getting in touch and sharing how you feel about how new bank accounts show on the homepage.
On the new Xero homepage we’ve updated this experience so you have more control. Your very first bank account still appears automatically on the homepage so you can immediately see your key banking information.
After that, when you connect any additional bank accounts, you’ll see a banner on the homepage letting you know there are new accounts available. From there you can choose to add them to the homepage with one click, or dismiss the banner and keep your current layout as it is.
We landed on this approach after testing and speaking with lots of customers: the strong preference was to always be able to see when a new account is available, while still having the choice about which accounts appear on the homepage.
You can also change your mind at any time using Edit homepage to add or remove bank account tiles, so the homepage reflects what’s most useful for you.
