This would streamline our processes. A definite plus.

As charities this is so important to us, and i see from CAF banks recent update they are ready to provide a bank feed option with Xero - so we are waiting for Xero to move forward with this.
I love xero and CAF but the fact they haven't integrated is a huge sticking point and is costing many charities time and therefore money. Getting this live would make a huge difference and give back to so many charities.

It would make my life easier / quicker if there were a direct feed - would ensure that I don't inadvertently duplicate or miss entries which I have done in the past

As a charity treasurer using both CAF Bank and Xero, a direct bank feed would make a meaningful difference to governance, audit readiness, and day-to-day financial controls. Manual imports add unnecessary risk and delay, especially where multiple volunteers are involved in financial processes. CAF already supports the technical requirements, and a Xero feed would significantly improve accuracy and efficiency for charities relying on Xero. This connection would benefit a large portion of the UK charity sector and would remove a key friction point in compliant bookkeeping.

Hello, we are a small charity and rely on the benefits of technology to support our over burdened team. It would be an essential addition to our financial workload to have Xero automatically integrate with CAF. Please please consider! Thank you.

I Clerk to two charities, both of which use Xero. The charities are currently looking to change bank. CAF Bank would be our first choice, but without the option of a live bank feed, we must effectively rule them out. I've been a specialist charity clerk for 13 years, worked with around 15 boards of trustees and have dealt with pretty much every bank out there... but CAF Bank was the winner of the recent Charity Excellence Framework 'Best UK Charity Bank Account' survey and rightly so in my view. They are clearly a (the!) key player in the charity banking sector, so both Xero and CAF Bank are missing a trick here...

We would so welcome the live bank feed. We spend quite an amount of additional time uploaded and reconciling the CAF account compared to other accounts held and as a small charity with limited time resources, every minute matters

Not having a bank feed for CAF bank has a time and therefore a financial cost, taking vital funds away from our cause. This isnt a nice to have it is essential.

Agree with the comment below our church ( a large registered charity ) is just implementing Xero and has bank accounts with CAF bank . A bank feed would save so much time . Please implement as soon as possible

Many UK charities use CAF bank and a bank feed may mean many more charities implement Xero - a clear marketing opportunity for Xero !

Our Church uses Xero and CAF Bank. An automate feed form CAF Bank into Xero would be most useful and would save much time.
Please implement as soon as possible.

We have wanted to integrate CAF bank and Xero for the last two years as this is critical to managing our accounts as we are all voluntary and have to do this in our spare time. Manual uploading of bank statements and transactions takes hours - integrating CAF and Xero would save us hours and hours, so please implement an integration for CAF bank ASAP so that we can move away from manual uploading and be much more efficient. If this is not done soon, we will have to move to an alternative software that is already integrated with CAF bank.

Please implement an integration for CAF bank ASAP so that we can move away from manual uploading. This would be massively helpful to us and many other charities that bank with CAF.

Please let CAF Bank join Xero so I can upload my bank statements to get me started with Xero. We are looking to change our software provider in January but as Xero isn't with CAF yet this is severely hindering things. Already stuck as the two organizations can't merge their info.

As a social housing provider we receive income from multiple residents on different dates during the month depending on their individual set up.

As volunteer trustees managing this, it would add huge value to our existing income management process to not have to manually import these transactions each week.

As a bookkeeper its extremely difficult when you don't offer bank feeds. It means I either have to constantly chase clients for csv files which I then have to manually process, or they have to give me bank access.
It's much harder to sell Xero to clients because of this

As the Account Administrator for Sussex Gospel Partnership it takes a significant amount of time to format the CSV file to upload onto Xero. I previously worked for an organisation that banked with Barclays and it was a doddle to upload the bank feed.

Really appreciate you all for considering this.

It is difficult for us to have to download all our feeds across several accounts. It would save us time and money, as a charity this is very important!

Improving access to Xero for CAF will significantly reduce load and potential errors in the financial management processes for our charity

We use Wise, PayPal and our main account is CAF. The amount of extra work we have to do for CAF because there isn't a direct interface is huge. If CAF are ready, it seems crazy to me that Xero would be the party unable to accept the feed. Charities are facing really hard times at the moment. Please do what you can to ease this bit of extra admin, at least! Thank you!

Being able to download CAF bank transactions into Xero would make the most enormous difference to our charity. It would save so much time. Time that could be used much more effectively else where. The current method of importing transactions into Xero is painful, slow and it's easy to make mistakes.

Please can Xero approve automatic downloads from CAF ASAP.
