This is incredibly important to our operations.

Please Please add CAF bank feeds, drives me mad not being able to work efficiently like I can with other banks & clients.

This would be a great help to us to speed up efficiency - please Santa can we have it for Christmas! :)

This would make a huge difference to charity clients for whom CAF bank is the best choice for so many other reasons.

Adding my vote too to get the CAF bank feed prioritised. Charity staff always have to put in more hours to get the work done than is reasonable, and the additional time taken without the bank feed is a burden which it would be wonderful to lift.

This would make such a difference allowing to streamline our process and improve our governance and control

An automatic CAF feed would make our reconciliations so much more efficient. We have a volunteer who carries out our management accounting and this would make their role so much easier. It would also result in more timely information, enabling us to make decisions more easily and provide more accurate information to funders when reporting back.

Just adding my strong vote to get the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) bank feed prioritized.

While the new QFX downloads help, this remains a tedious manual process for charities. We deal with a very high volume of aggregated donations via CAF, meaning reconciliation takes hours every month. This is valuable time we should be spending on our charitable mission, not administrative backlog.

An automatic CAF feed is essential for Xero to truly support the non-profit sector efficiently. Please move this to 'In Development' soon—it would be a massive efficiency gain for all charities using Xero. Thanks

Interested to read the positive comments re Quick Books and their bank feed to CAF - our accountant is already recommending a transfer for QB's superior functionality and overall ease of use, so the fact that we'd have a feed too is a major sway in their favour.
Anyone else had good experience with Quick Books? I have zero faith (pun intended) that Xero will deliver a feed in the foreseeable future. It's quite clear we're just getting platitudes in response to our requests.

Quick Books are amazing. Much better than Zero especially as they have been proactive in getting a banking feed established. So pleased with the customer service from Quick Books, an amazing organisation who understand the needs of charities

Thanks for the update, but it’s hard not to feel that we’re hearing the same message we heard a year ago, interest noted, no timeframe, maybe someday.

At this point, it comes across less like a development challenge and more like prolonged procrastination. A bank feed is not a niche request; it’s a core function that many Xero users desperately need. The continued lack of clarity suggests that either this isn’t a priority for Xero, or there is no real intention to deliver it any time soon.

The absence of even a rough timeline is simply unacceptable for users trying to plan their financial operations. Many of us are now questioning whether Xero is still the right platform for our businesses/organisation. A clearer commitment, not just “hope to explore”, is long overdue.

We urgently require bank feeds activation. This is essential to our business. We will have no choice but to go with another accounts software provider if Xero cannot accommodate.

Dear Georgia Clarke,
I don't understand why you keep on resending the same respnse from months ago.
And no reply if you would create any templates more suitable to the legal requirements of Charities.

This would be a crucial requirement for as, as many charities in the UK using CAF. Hoping to see a development on this asap!

Please, I beg you Xero, action this asap.

It's October tomorrow, any update on this?

This is critical for us, as so many other organisations. A timeframe would be extremely useful along with an understanding of whether this has been given any sort of priority. Thank you.

I understand that CAF are ready to go at their end, the sooner Xero can action it the better

This is the number 1 change request we have.

The manual download from CAF and upload to Xero is a nightmare - someone has to find the time to do every week or we can't reconcile our accounts. And we have several bank accounts in two different legal entities, so it takes forever. As a small organisation, we're thin on the ground re people who know how to do this and have the proper authorisation at either 'end'.
Pleas prioritise, it would be fantastic.

Thanks, Pennoyer Centre

This is critical to our banking. We desperately want to do open banking with CAF and Xero - it will help us significantly.
