Bank loan and mortgage accounts set up with bank feeds but without being classified as bank accounts
Set up mortgage or long term bank loan accounts as Non-current liabilities but still enable the user to connect a bank feed. This will ensure the coding and processing burden is reduced when reconciling loan accounts and will ensure the Cashflow statement is correct.

Shortcut to Bank Reconciliation
Currently accessing the bank rec needs to be done by going to Home and then Bank Reconciliation. Please would you add a shortcut for this on the menu bar?

Filter for only Payments (Refunds) on Matching Transaction Screen
On the Find and Select Matching Transactions screen, it would be nice to have a filter that only displays payments and refunds (IE - excludes the unpaid invoices). I record payments on the day that the credit card was posted, but don't reconcile until the deposit. A great deal of my customers are on payment plans, so hiding the unpaid invoices would speed things up for me.

Find and Recode - Filter by Account Type
It would be helpful to be able to filter items to find and recode by income statement or balance sheet items rather than having to sort by code and selecting the applicable ones or filtering by ALL the applicable codes, which is very time consuming.
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this idea ✨. We’ve reviewed your suggestion to be able to search within Find and Recode by account type, rather than needing to search by individual account. We’re moving this idea to Gaining Support so it can build support from the wider community. This status means the idea is open for votes and comments, which helps us gauge how useful this change would be for others and gather more detail on the workflows it could improve.

Bank feeds: Last refresh date to show on dashboard
For bank accounts, add the date that the account was last refreshed in Xero. Currently, it only shows the date of the last transaction, but I can't tell if my last feed failed or if there just weren't any new transactions. Seeing the last successful refresh would tell me if I need to refresh again.
(One of my accounts requires MFA every time, so Xero always shows a manual "Refresh" button, and so that doesn't tell me whether or not the feed succeeded.)2 votesThanks for sharing your idea about have the bank feed's last refresh date visible on the homepage.

Bank Reconciliation - Add "Last Month" and "This Month" shortcut buttons with item counts to the Reconciliation screen
Show how many lines to reconcile per month:
I only use Xero once month, to do last months accounts. I know some people go in every day, or every few days and reconcile a few transactions, but I just do it all once a month and print the end of month reports. I am sure a large portion of people do this too.
I reconcile all previous months transactions, and run the reports. Say it is 8 April, I don't need to reconcile any transactions for April. I just want to close off March.
Therefore I want the blue "Reconcile…
2 votesHi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We understand you’re looking for quick filters like “Last Month” and “This Month”, along with transaction counts, within the bank reconciliation dashboard to help prioritise outstanding items.
Having these shortcuts and clearer visibility could make it easier to review specific periods and track reconciliation progress.
I’ve updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback and examples from the community.

COA | Create new account - Ability to add reporting name on the fly
It would save numerous steps if:
When a new account is created from within a transaction (for instance spend money or journal entry) the option to add a reporting name was available, instead of having to update later through the chart of chart of accounts.
When creating a new account, through the chart of accounts or elsewhere, that the Report Code mapping category could be allocated at the same time.
25 votesHi everyone, thanks so much for all your feedback and support on this idea!
We know that sometimes you need to create a new account on the go—like when you’re right in the middle of entering a spend money transaction or a journal. But at the moment, you can’t create a new COA account then and there.
The current workaround is to create the account first from the Chart of Accounts before doing your actual task. While that gets the job done, we understand it’s not the most efficient way to work, especially when you’re trying to keep momentum.
This idea is now in the Gaining Support stage. We’re keeping an eye on how much interest it’s getting, and your votes and comments help show the value this would bring to your day-to-day.

Bank Reconciliation - Copy transfer transaction
I would like to be able to copy a Transfer transaction.
When viewing a transaction on the "Transaction: Spend Money" screen, the "Options" menu includes a "Copy" function. However, when viewing a transaction on the "Transaction: Transfer" screen, the "Options" menu does not have the "Copy" function. Please add the "Copy" function in the "Options" menu on the "Transaction: Transfer" screen.
6 votesHi Gregory, thanks for raising an idea in the forums here. To try get a better understanding of your workflow, is there a reason you would generally want to create the Transfer transactions prior to reconciling in your bank account?

Reconciliation - Autofill account and tax when applying a bank fee
It is frustrating when manually reconciling transactions when a variance is a bank transaction fee and I select 'Bank Fee' as the reason for the difference only to then have to select bank fee again when completing the transaction line presented for the Bank Fee.
Surely, if I have selected 'Bank Fee' as the reason for the difference, the line presented could have the 'Bank Fee' nominal account pre-selected and the appropriate Tax Rate populated given that it is for a Bank Fee?
It's only a small thing, but it bugs me.4 votesThanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. We appreciate you explaining how autofilling the account and tax fields when applying a bank fee could streamline reconciliation.

Third party payment Reconciliation - Simplify reconciliation
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.

Bank Accounts - Bring back the Transfer money option
Why do your devs keep burying things, that we need to frequently use, under menus?
Please bring the "Transfer Money" quick button back to the Bank Accounts main page, rather than bury it under the 3-dot menu. That added click each time is incredibly annoying and takes away from the user experience.
Side by side comparison below.

improve form to link co-op bank account
When linking a Co-Operative Bank Business account it is currently necessary to download and print off a pre-populated form, sign and then upload. Two weeks later you (I assume this is a common experience) receive a message saying the bank account number needed to be 16 digits. You then need to do the whole thing again, this time adding two zeros to the end of the bank account number so the system can recognise it.
Ideally of course non of this would be necessary but I think the piece of paper itself is a Co-Op problem not a Xero one.…

Reconciliation - Ability to attach file when reconciling a transfer
enable uploads on pdf files to support audit evidence of a transfer transaction
1 voteHi David, appreciate how you may like this option to speed up the efficiency of this process when reconciling, and we'll get a wider sense of the interest behind this from your idea here.
In the meantime, I just wanted to highlight that once the Transfer transactions is created it's possible to open this from the Account transactions tab of the bank account and attach a PDF to the transaction from here.

Reconciliation transaction parking bay needed
Suspension of transactions waiting for more information
Please please please
When doing the reconciliations can there be a quick action button that lets me set aside this transaction for now so I can continue with the easier reconciliations and then come back to these ones.
Ideally the selected transactions would change colour and stay at the top of the list for revisiting. Even perhaps with a line underneath them to delineate from the main recon list.
The "suspension list" would not be part of the scrolling or page selection, as we need to easily see that they still need to…1 voteThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.

Allow longer Account Codes
The current limit is 10 alphanumeric digits. I work with non-profits and need to be able to approximate segmented accounts. At 10 digits, we are up against the limits of what can be encoded. With longer account codes, we could not only encode more information, but also add delimiters to improve readability and extensibility. Longer account codes would also be a workaround for the fact that we cannot create custom report codes. I still think that's a good idea, but I understand it might be technically difficult. I cannot imagine that simply allowing longer account codes would be a big…

Bank Reconciliation - Option to Edit rule from the Reconcile screen
Add a current transaction to an existing back rule with one-click!
This is a no brainer. Instead of going bank to rules to add another condition, we should be able to click - options: add to bank rule. End of story!6 votesThanks for your idea.

Hi Xero,
Hi Xero,
When doing bank reconciliations, we often have to change the dates on rec lines.
It would save so much time if you did not have to click into the transaction to change the date.Likewise, in cash coding - You can change every other detail except the date, meaning you have to go back into individual transactions
Have attached screenshots.
