  1. We would love to be able to 'match' a supplier payment to us on the bank with a credit note, rather than having to go via the contra route.

  2. Similar to how "isReconciled" is supported by the API, allow it to be specified for the from/to account when creating a Bank Transfer rule. This would simplify the transfer process from external sources that are reconciled outside Xero.

  3. It would be good to have the ability to sort or filter the Bank Statement lines by "deleted" so you don't need to scroll through to find the deleted statement lines.

  4. Support Morgan Stanley Client Serv.
    Just signed up for Xero today, and now I have to cancel because you don't support my bank. Worth mentioning that MS doesn't provide acceptable export options for their data, so there isn't a clean method for me to transform their data to get it into Xero. I will mention that QBO perfectly integrates with it, so clearly the pipeline has been built by someone.

  5. We utilise the chart of accounts watchlist as a quick snap shot of our month. It would be great to be able to add a previous month option to this. So we can see this month, previous month & YTD in this watchlist without having to run a P&L report to cross check everything

  6. ALL banks should be able to refresh. I am with The Co-op for my business banking. I was previously with Quickbooks for my accounting software and was able to refresh my bank feed whenever I needed to. With Xero I can't. Being on top of the money in the bank is crucial to business owners. Having to wait a day, or sometimes days, for the information to feed in is debilitating and very frustrating. If the bank can provide the feed to one accounting software company, then the problem is not with the bank. Please, Xero. Please sort this out.…

  7. I represent Albaraka Bank South Africa, and we’re interested in becoming a supported direct bank feed within Xero so that our mutual clients can pull statements directly into the platform.

    Could someone from your banking integrations or partnerships team please reach out to me to discuss the process and requirements?

  8. I’d like to suggest a small but valuable feature update:

    When we search for a bank memo, description, or reference in bank transactions or account transactions (e.g., “UberBV”), Xero does return the transactions, but the categorized account (account head) is not visible in the search results.

    In MYOB, when performing the same search, the results also show the categorized account, which helps identify how transactions were coded in the past. This saves time and ensures consistency during reconciliations.

    Feature Request:

    Please consider updating Xero so that when searching transactions (by memo, description, or reference), the categorized account column also displays…

    Hi Abrar, thanks for the thoughtful suggestion and the screenshots showing the account code used when reconciling the bank statement lines. We’ve shared your feedback with the team so they can consider this in future improvements. In the meantime, it’d be great to hear from others who’d benefit—please add your vote and any specific scenarios where this would save time in your workflow. In the meantime as a short-term workaround, run the Account Transactions report for the Bank account and add the Related account column to see where each transaction was coded ✨

  9. Can we please have the ability to export bank statement search results to a csv file?

    Every day I wish that was possible!

    Thanks

  10. Bank balance tracking has disappeared from the new home page, and when you click on accounts it only tracks the balance for the last month. This tracking is useful to help monitor where the bussiness's cashflow is heading. Ultimatley, I would like to see options as to how far back you can view the cash flow trackiong graph.

  13. Clients should be able to attach the vouchers to the bank feeds then the accountant can review the voucher and code the transaction. As it is, whoever attaches the voucher has to code the transaction. This is risky for a non-accountant. If the accountant is sent attachments and they have to work out what bank feed it relates to before coding it is inefficient.

  14. We need the functionality to change batch payments without removing all allocations - sometimes an invoice or bill is reconciled as part of a batch payment incorrectly. We really need the option to be able to remove individual allocations within the batch and change it to an overpayment (or move it to another bill/invoice). This is particularly critical for companies that pay statement balances for large numbers of invoices, say at the end of the month.

  15. Automatically assign a tracking category to a chart of account code, so when costs are billed against the account code, it also automatically assigns those costs to a default tracking category

    Hi team, we've been following the conversation for being able to assign a tracking category to each account in the Chart of Accounts, and we appreciate everyone here who's taken time to share their feedback.

    We understand manually assigning tracking categories to every line of a transaction is time-consuming and can lead to errors. 

    While not the direct idea asked here, it may help some to know that you can set a default account and tracking on individual contacts. On the flip side once transactions have been entered Find and recode is another feature that could possibly be useful to some here (however we'd recommend checking in with your advisor and testing in the demo org, before using in your own). 

    We want to be transparent with you here that though this idea has been carefully reviewed, like other areas of Xero the Chart of Accounts page initially…

  16. In Bank rec window, when you try to reconcile a money receive, you could upload the remittance advice from customer PDF or excel, then Xero could auto match all the existing invoices/credit notes

  17. Improved Integration with Payment Platforms for Bank Feeds

    I would like to suggest deeper integration between Xero and payment providers such as:

    Stripe

    GoCardless

    Square

    Specifically, it would be valuable if Xero could automatically import bank feeds from clearing accounts linked to these payment platforms.

    Many businesses process large volumes of transactions through these providers, and reconciliation of clearing accounts can become time-consuming. Automated bank feeds for these accounts would streamline reconciliation, improve visibility over cash flow, and reduce manual data handling.

  19. HSBC Business bank feed that updates more frequently than 24 hours in arrears. The fact that it takes more than a day for a customer payment to appear in Xero makes it hard to have effective account management.

    Hi Nikki — thanks for sharing this and explaining how more frequent updates would help your account management. I can see that you have raised this previously with Xero Support and as you know there is a delay of 24 hours for the UK HSBC bank feed to reduce duplicates 😣. We can assure you that we’ll keep monitoring this and will update the thread as further improvements become available. Thanks again for raising it and helping us track demand.

  20. The current "Bank Accounts" list has these oversized widgets for each bank account, but at least all bank accounts are listed which is a huge plus compared to the disastrous new Dashboard.

    Would be it possible to have the widgets smaller for each account, like on your new dashboard or have them adjustable so that I can have 2, 3 or even 4 bank accounts in 1 row?
    As we have over 70 bank accounts, that would be very helpful.

    Also , it would be a real improvement if bank accounts could be grouped in folders on the "Bank Accounts"…
