  1. I represent Albaraka Bank South Africa, and we’re interested in becoming a supported direct bank feed within Xero so that our mutual clients can pull statements directly into the platform.

    Could someone from your banking integrations or partnerships team please reach out to me to discuss the process and requirements?

  2. Bank balance tracking has disappeared from the new home page, and when you click on accounts it only tracks the balance for the last month. This tracking is useful to help monitor where the bussiness's cashflow is heading. Ultimatley, I would like to see options as to how far back you can view the cash flow trackiong graph.

  4. Clients should be able to attach the vouchers to the bank feeds then the accountant can review the voucher and code the transaction. As it is, whoever attaches the voucher has to code the transaction. This is risky for a non-accountant. If the accountant is sent attachments and they have to work out what bank feed it relates to before coding it is inefficient.

  5. When adding a new bank account the client needs to tick 'don't select' on all the other accounts which can be unsettling if these accounts already have bank feeds. There must be better wording for this, or remove the need to tick 'don't select'.

    Hi Saara, we can see how updates to the labels or instructions in the bank feed connection flow could help make setup clearer and reduce the chance of selecting the wrong account.

    We'll continue tracking interest and share the feedback with our product teams.

  6. In Bank rec window, when you try to reconcile a money receive, you could upload the remittance advice from customer PDF or excel, then Xero could auto match all the existing invoices/credit notes

    Totally get the forward thinking here, thanks for sharing! We're continuing to think about how we can bring more automation to reconciling your accounts and while this isn't something we have direct plans of atm we'll keep a close eye on the support here and be sure to share if there are any updates planned.

  7. Improved Integration with Payment Platforms for Bank Feeds

    I would like to suggest deeper integration between Xero and payment providers such as:

    Stripe

    GoCardless

    Square

    Specifically, it would be valuable if Xero could automatically import bank feeds from clearing accounts linked to these payment platforms.

    Many businesses process large volumes of transactions through these providers, and reconciliation of clearing accounts can become time-consuming. Automated bank feeds for these accounts would streamline reconciliation, improve visibility over cash flow, and reduce manual data handling.

    Hi Matheus , thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. Can appreciate the need to simplify the reconciliation process when processing a third party payment. We'll open this idea up to the community to get more support and traction. Cheers!

  8. Ability to include free hand information on the bank account rules for each account eg. Interest rates, number of deposits and withdrawals, bonus interest rates, costs for overdrawn account etc. To be updated by user at their convenience.

  9. Current behaviour:
    When reconciling a transfer and searching for a bank account, the dropdown search only works if you enter text from the very start of the account name. For example, if I have an account called "Emerge COGS", I can only find it by typing "Emerge" - searching for "COGS" returns no results and causes the dropdown to glitch.
    The inconsistency:
    This search behaviour is inconsistent with other areas of Xero. When making a payment from a bill, the account search works with mid-string matching - searching for "COGS" correctly brings up "Emerge COGS". This creates confusion as users…

  10. Many customers pay in cash but still want an invoice sent. I need a way to mark invoices as paid in cash without it appearing to go through a bank account, as this makes reconciliation difficult. A simple “Paid in Cash” option posting to a cash or undeposited funds account would fix this.

  11. Stripe connected payment service - ability to add tracking code to stripe fee.
    We use tracking codes for all P&L transactions, connected payment service does not have tracking code option so need to add tracking code manually to all reconciled stripe fees - there are a lot to recode. Since its a connected payment service it takes precedence over any bank rule, so change needs to happen in connected payment service.

    Thanks for the feedback, Nicole. Appreciate how this could be handy if you have a lot of payment fees that are needing to be coded.

    We don't have any immediate plans on this but will start to track the interest here and share if there are any plans made.

  12. Please change the font and bold the balances on the accounts main screen and move the balance back to the left where it was previously.

    I can't figure out why you made this change in the first place as there was nothing wrong with the setup of the old Bank Accounts screen. I do like the added width but you've made it harder to see the balance quickly and it just isn't as user friendly view IMO.

  13. Why do your devs keep burying things, that we need to frequently use, under menus?

    Please bring the "Transfer Money" quick button back to the Bank Accounts main page, rather than bury it under the 3-dot menu. That added click each time is incredibly annoying and takes away from the user experience.

    Side by side comparison below.

  14. Hopefully someone at Xero reads this.

    The Philippines is a market that Xero should really focus on.

    The BIR is now introducing the EIS program which leans perfectly to Xero integration, not a middle man. Companies are running everywhere to Netsuite and SAP as Xero aren't across what is happening.

    Whilst currently limited to larger entities the roadmaps seem to indicate that the business size for compliance will get smaller over time.

    If XERO can organise the bank feeds from the top banks and integrate with BIR, your business in The Philippines will grow much much larger - https://eis-cert.bir.gov.ph/#/main

  15. Please could the 'Uncoded Statement Lines' button be reinstated on the new bank feeds page, rather than hidden under the ... menu?
    It makes for an extra click every time and there's plenty of room on the page for it.

  16. Within Expenses, have the ability to claim International Freight charges. Many freight forwarders charge a credit card for larger values and do not offer direct debit facility. We do not have company credit cards, so it is charged to a personal card and claimed. My only work around is to charge it as a bill to the freight forwarder, then pay the individuals credit card.

    Hi Timothy, just trying to better understand your idea. Currently it's possible to enter a foreign currency expense claim through Xero expenses.

    An employee could submit a claim for the amount of the international freight charge to be reimbursed by the business. Is there something missing in this feature that would help here?

  17. Feature request: option to change default currency filter in Bank Reconciliation

    Hello Xero team,
    I’d like to submit a feature request regarding the Bank Reconciliation → Find & Match workflow for multi-currency transactions.

    When reconciling a bank transaction, Xero defaults to filtering matches to the same currency as the bank account. In cases where the transaction relates to an invoice or bill in a different currency, the user has to manually untick the “same currency only” filter each time.

    For users who regularly work with multi-currency transactions, this becomes a repetitive step and an easy thing to miss.

    Feature request:

    Hi David, appreciate you sharing your idea with us here. To get more understanding, can you share why you'd like to be able to download a bank statement that's being imported to Xero versus retrieving this from your banking portal?

  19. To enable Stripe reconciliations in Xero I have a Stripe feed in (as a "bank account), but unfortunately it is lacking in information, so when doing reconciliations you still need to open Stripe to find out what payments are for. It would save SO much time if the metadata could be brought through on the feed too, or if there was a way of including more information in the transaction field.

  20. Currently, a check written is downloaded in the feed with the date the check cleared and no payee name. It would be fantastic if AI could read the check, enter the payee and the date the check was actually written rather than the date it cleared. That would save the user from having to look up the check on the bank website and manually editing it so that the bank reconciliation is actually correct.
