Automatically recognise realised FX gain/loss when transferring the full balance of a foreign currency bank account
Problem
When a user uses Xero's Transfer Money function to transfer the entire balance of a foreign currency bank account, the foreign currency balance correctly becomes zero.
However, due to exchange rate differences between the original transaction date and the transfer date, Xero may leave a residual balance in the base currency (for example, SGD) within the account transaction history.
This remaining balance represents a realised foreign exchange gain or loss arising from the disposal of the foreign currency funds. Therefore, Xero should automatically recognise this FX difference and clear the bank account balance.
The expected accounting outcome should be:…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Spend money - Refund
Refund transaction that links to a previous Spend money transaction
Hi Xero users,
When we received a refund for a payment, the only option is to record the received amount as a separate transaction in the same account.
There is no option to link the refund transaction to the previous completed spend transaction unless it is a Bill.
It would be very helpful if Xero can add this feature
This way, when we click on a spend transaction, we can know immediately if it is refunded or not, cause the two spend and received transactions are at different date so…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas.

Credit Card Feed Update
Huge problem with the new update! Maybe it's just me.
Combining all company credit cards into a single feed is creating a significant problem for our accounting process.
We have five different company credit cards assigned to different departments, but the system combines all transactions into one feed and sorts them only by date. This means that at the end of each month, when employees submit their receipts, I have to sort through transactions from five different cards just to reconcile each department's expenses. With the old feeds, that was easy. With the new feed going into master account, it…

Reconciliation totals
Add a function which totals selected transactions in a bank or control account (i.e. you can see what the total of your selected transactions is before hitting reconcile)

Statement Balance when Importing Bank Transactions
Importing Bank Feeds - When importing bank feeds, before confirming the import it would be useful to see what the new statement balance in Xero will be once the transactions have imported so you can reconcile it to the statement balance before hitting confirm.

Bank accounts - compact view
It would be great if you could enable a 'compact view' of the bank accounts page - I don't need the graphs and would prefer to be able to see more bank accounts without the need to scroll.

Westpac Bank Feed Correction
Correct the Westpac Bank Feed so the fields are passed through to Xero correctly. Currently the Description (from Westpac) is put into the Payee field (which should be Merchant), resulting in truncated description payee.
This causes us several issues in our reconciling process, particularly with being unable to identify who made a purchase without logging into the westpac portal, as well as not being able to set up rules to consistently process against a contact without the merchant being passed through correctly.
I believe the matching of a transaction to a bank line is also impacted by this. We often…

Good afternoon. I've got a client who's staging for making tax digital. They're a client who is a cash-based business, so therefore doesn't reconcile a bank account, and they're just using the Xero mobile app to record receive money and spend money transactions for their cash. We've come up against a roadblock because it looks like the Xero mobile app doesn't allow you to do receive money transactions, only spend money transactions to the cash account. Is this correct or is there a workaround?

Xero Accounting App - enter a receive money transaction
In the Xero Accounting App it would be really useful to be able to enter a receive money transaction. This option is only available in the desktop version but for those that receive cash on the move it would be helpful to be able to record this via the app, particularly as it won't show up in a bank feed.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea. We can understand how being able to create a Receive Money transaction directly in the Xero Accounting mobile app could make it easier to capture transactions while you're away from your computer.
For now, if the payment has already appeared in your bank feed, you can create the transaction during bank reconciliation in the mobile app. If it hasn't reached your bank feed yet, you'll need to wait until you're back on a web browser to enter it manually.
We've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest.

Bank feed – AmBank Group Malaysia
AmBank Group Malaysia (including AmBank Islamic) currently has no direct bank feed integration with Xero. Malaysian SMEs using AmBank must manually export and upload CSV statements, which is inefficient and error-prone. We request Xero to establish a direct API-enabled bank feed with AmBank, similar to the existing CIMB and RHB Malaysia integrations. This would greatly benefit Malaysian businesses and support Xero's growing presence in Malaysia.
1 voteAppreciate you raising this idea, Azman. We can see how connecting AmBank Malaysia through a direct bank feed could help streamline reconciliation and reduce the need for manual statement imports.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. We'll keep sharing interest from the community with the team as they assess future banking integrations.

Bank feed - Display warning of consequences when attempting to disconnect feed
Before triggering direct advice to the bank to disconnect a bank feed(s), send a warning to the Xero Administrator that outlines the impending course of action in an attempt to stop an unintended consequence after archiving an active bank account.

Reconciliation - Allow an 'Edit' option for existing batch reconciliation without requiring a full Remove and Redo
We make one Batch payment to suppliers each day. So we simply reconcile on the 'Find and Match' screen against the bills or overpayments. If however, we accidentally paid reconciled a payment to the wrong supplier, we have to 'Remove & Redo' the full payment - and then re-reconcile correctly.
Xero should have the ability to simply EDIT the reconciliation to change allow us to change the contact or whatever other permutations might be.
Or atleast include this in the Find and Recode facility somehow
1 voteThanks for sharing more detail around your workflow. We understand the request to edit a reconciled batch without needing to remove and recreate it. Having the flexibility to make minor changes to an existing batch could help save time and reduce rework.
In the meantime, you can leverage the Batch Payment feature to select relevant bills and credit notes from the Bills list, and create a batch payment transaction. You can then simply match the batch payment transaction to the statement line without having to manually select each bills from the Find & Match table.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and let us know how you'd like to use it.

Bank Feeds - Establish direct bank feed connection for Bank of Singapore (An OCBC Company)
Dear Support,
Please expand bank feed connections to the Bank of Singapore (An OCBC Company). This will assist greatly in processing bank account information in Xero.1 voteThanks for taking the time to suggest this. We understand the request to add Bank of Singapore as a supported bank feed connection. This could help customers and advisors spend less time managing manual statement uploads.
For now, bank transactions can be brought into Xero by importing a supported statement file from your banking provider.

Bank Feeds - Enable direct bank feeds for Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Line of Credit accounts
The new RBC connector cannot see the Line of Credit feeds and has to be refreshed separately compared to the old connector (Yodlee?)
1 voteHi Samantha, thanks for highlighting this improvement. We understand the ask to have a direct bank feed for RBC Line of Credit accounts could make it much easier to keep borrowing activity and repayments up to date without relying on manual imports.
At the moment, direct feeds for some RBC Line of Credit accounts aren't available. This means transactions may need to be imported manually, which can add extra steps when reconciling your accounts and monitoring balances.
In the meantime, you can download transactions from your RBC Online Banking account and import them into Xero using the Import a Statement option. This helps keep your account up to date while continuing to reconcile activity in Xero.
We'll continue to track interest and gather more input from others who'd benefit from this capability.

Bank Feeds - Streamline the authority form for Co-operative Bank account
When linking a Co-Operative Bank Business account it is currently necessary to download and print off a pre-populated form, sign and then upload. Two weeks later you (I assume this is a common experience) receive a message saying the bank account number needed to be 16 digits. You then need to do the whole thing again, this time adding two zeros to the end of the bank account number so the system can recognise it.
Ideally of course non of this would be necessary but I think the piece of paper itself is a Co-Op problem not a Xero one.…
1 voteHi Carolyn, thanks for raising this with the community. We can see how a simpler way to connect Co-operative Bank accounts could make getting started with bank feeds much easier.
At the moment, the setup process for some bank feeds is determined by the bank's requirements, which may include completing and submitting an authority form before the feed can be activated. While waiting for the bank feed to be approved, you can import bank statements manually using CSV files to keep your accounts up to date and continue reconciling transactions.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If you'd like to share more, it would be helpful to know which part of the setup process caused the most friction, whether it was the forms, the approval timeframe, or something else.

Bank Reconciliation - Ability to "park" or hold complex transactions in a separate tab on the Reconcile screen
Suspension of transactions waiting for more information
Please please please
When doing the reconciliations can there be a quick action button that lets me set aside this transaction for now so I can continue with the easier reconciliations and then come back to these ones.
Ideally the selected transactions would change colour and stay at the top of the list for revisiting. Even perhaps with a line underneath them to delineate from the main recon list.
The "suspension list" would not be part of the scrolling or page selection, as we need to easily see that they still need to…1 voteHi Dianne, thanks for sharing your feedback here.
Having a way to temporarily park bank statement lines during reconciliation could make it easier to work through high volumes of transactions without losing your place when an item needs further investigation.

Given that bank transactions are now processed 24 hours a day 7 days a week, it would be good if Xero ran overnight processing everyday rath
