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.

Could be really useful to link Xero and CAF Bank.

This would be so good for our charity. Please prioritise

Yes, having a bank feed from CAF into Xero woudl help us, thanks!

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.

We need a bank feed for CAF, go on Xero, you know you can do it...

This would be incredibly useful and save a lot of valuable admin time

Please make this happen as it would be extremely helpful to our daily tasks.

Thank u

This is critical to our business and would allow for much more effective working.

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.
