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 everyone, thank you all for your support and engaging to let us know the importance and use you'd have in being able to receive bank feeds for Charities Aid Foundation(CAF) bank.
We're pleased to share that our provider Tink is building this at present and we're currently testing with a small group of users.
We appreciate your interest, and look forward to getting this in your hands soon. I'll be back to share more news as things progress. Thanks

For a medium-sized charity to have this linkage would be very helpful. It feels that the XERO/CAF bank connection is behind the curve of normal practice and this change would make an important update

Come on Xero. As a small not for profit we have been waiting for this for years. It is so frustrating not to have a link up already working, and we know you can do it. Your last response was over 4 months ago.

This would be very useful for CAF Bank customers. Please prioritise.
(Also please fix the unsubscribe feature here - I am receiving emails for every comment despite unsubscribing several times!)

This is incredibly important. I was previously using the OFX import but that now seems to have stopped working. In addition, something has changed either with Xero or CafBank which means that the csv imports also aren't working without having to edit first. We are a transaction heavy company and it's crucial this link is set up asap, currently having to manually input the transactions is extremely time consuming and open to errors.

Having a bank feed would be totally transformative, reducing time wasted on several days each week having to download a statement and import it to xero. It would also enable us to deal with things in real time, i.e. updating customer receipts immediately rather than delay of waiting until a statement is downloaded. Let's have this for Christmas please!
Having the option of uploading a payment file from xero to CAF bank would also be totally revolutionary!

This would save so much valuable charity time and money to be able to have our bank feed directly into Xero

The lack of an automatic feed to Xero from CAF Bank creates extra work and introduces the opportunity for errors to arise when selecting dates to download and when reformatting files to upload. Volunteer time is a scarce resource and staff time has to be paid for, so Xero could make a valuable contribution to the charity sector by enabling automatic feeds from CAF Bank.

I believe CAF have said that they are ready to go from their end so we need Xero to do their part to make it work.
We all know how useful bank feeds are and so it's incredibly frustrating that the charities who bank with CAF don't have feeds. Charity budgets for support costs are often tight and so any efficiencies that can be gained are vital to help charities to stretch their budgets further and help their beneficiaries.

The CAF bank feed will save us hours chasing data and pasting it everywhere. This is absolutely crucial

it's like Waiting for Godot.
Meanwhile we have lots of other new 'features' that are of no use to me. And I cant see loads of people asking for them either.

This is vital for our organisation to have the CAF bank feed in Xero, hopefully Xero will take forward and action.

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

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.
