Bank Feed - Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
For Xero to expand their bank feed connections to develop a feed that supports Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
Hi team, we appreciate the growing interest this idea's gaining and want you to know our product teams are very attuned to our customers desire for a bank feed for CAF bank.
We're continuing to work closely with our third party integrators to make more bank feeds available via open banking. A feed for CAF is high on our agenda, however we're reliant on third party integrators to support this integration in order for us to deliver this for you all.
I want to assure you we're pushing for it's integration, but we cannot commit or confirm a timeline for this work to be undertaken.
As soon as there's progress to share we'll happily provide further updates for you all.

The Open Banking connection would make a big difference to my organisation's accounts payable and payroll processes. we could see productivity improvements of 40-50%.

I agree with Ben! "This feels like a necessary and basic feature for charities using CAF who are already under time and capacity pressures. Please prioritise."

I Reiterate al the comments today. It would really be helpful to have bank feeds with CAF. So my workflow can run more efficiently. CAF changed / upgraded there account so it it would able to connect with accounting software. Apparently I have heard they have have done this with QBO.

Not having an automatic bank feed for CAF bank customers is leaving a huge number of Xero/CAF customers at a disadvantage to other users. The QFX file download provided by CAF is not a sufficient work around as any POS transactions do not provide enough detail in the reconciliation table to match transactions without having to cross reference to a PDF download of the bank statement which is a real headache, resulting in bank rec. taking longer than it should. Please Xero, make this a priority - we are all waiting!

Every other bank manages to connect with Xero, why can't CAFBank. It doesn't matter to us if the problem is at the Xero or at the CAFBank end, it just needs to get sorted asap!

This link is absolutely critical for our small charity. Our principal bankers are CAF Bank and as our charity grows, the extra admin burden of not being able to import bank transactions automatically into Xero is unsustainable for us. We have been using Xero for one or our groups that banks with Barclays for some time now and we love it! But as we move to consolidate all of our banking with CAF, we may be forced to abandon Xero if you are unable to link it to CAF Bank.

We are a small almshouse charity with two CAF accounts and have many transactions from people paying rent. It would save a lot of time to be able to use an automatic feed with Xero.

This would really help - CAF is our main current account, and having to export QFX files periodically, checking how far down the transaction list we've got, is a real time waster and introduces potential for error. We also have a Lloyds account which has a direct feed into Xero which works in near real time and is SO much more efficient. We'd be really grateful if you could prioritise this enhancement. Thanks.

We have a number of charities who are holding off moving to Xero because it does not link with CAF.

This would be an invaluable addition to the great product that Xero already is, and make accounting for a small charity administrator (with far too much to do) so much easier.
