Bank feed - Display warning of consequences when attempting to disconnect feed
Before triggering direct advice to the bank to disconnect a bank feed(s), send a warning to the Xero Administrator that outlines the impending course of action in an attempt to stop an unintended consequence after archiving an active bank account.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea, Mark. We can understand how receiving a warning before Xero sends a request to disconnect a bank feed could help prevent accidental disconnections, particularly when an active bank account is archived unintentionally.

Spend/Receive Money Transaction - Show account number in View mode
This is very basic, but a search didn't reveal an answer. Maybe it exists. Maybe it doesn't. It frustrates me when I try and look back on a reconciled bank item that it only shows the account description in view mode, not the code. I can only see the account number when I enter edit mode. Please make the account number visible in view mode. It would remove ambiguity when making a similar posting and prevent accidental corruption of previous postings. Pictures below Edit vs View mode.
1 voteThanks for sharing this idea, Martin. We can understand how displaying the account code or general ledger account number when viewing a Spend or Receive Money transaction could make it quicker to review coding without needing to switch into edit mode.

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.
27 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 Feed to Japanese Bank (Rakuten Bank)
It would be great if Xero can support Japanese banks in the Bank Feed. Been looking for any API to help me connect the Rakuten Bank to Xero but I found nothing.

Bank Feeds - Establish direct bank feed connection for Bank of Singapore (An OCBC Company)
Dear Support,
Please expand bank feed connections to the Bank of Singapore (An OCBC Company). This will assist greatly in processing bank account information in Xero.1 voteThanks for taking the time to suggest this. We understand the request to add Bank of Singapore as a supported bank feed connection. This could help customers and advisors spend less time managing manual statement uploads.
For now, bank transactions can be brought into Xero by importing a supported statement file from your banking provider.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this connection would help your business, add your vote and let us know more about your setup.

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.

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.
2 votesHi Matheus , thanks for sharing your idea, and letting us know the changes that matter most for you. Can appreciate the need to simplify the reconciliation process when processing a third party payment. We'll open this idea up to the community to get more support and traction. Cheers!

Bank Feeds - Enable direct bank feeds for Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Line of Credit accounts
The new RBC connector cannot see the Line of Credit feeds and has to be refreshed separately compared to the old connector (Yodlee?)
1 voteHi Samantha, thanks for highlighting this improvement. We understand the ask to have a direct bank feed for RBC Line of Credit accounts could make it much easier to keep borrowing activity and repayments up to date without relying on manual imports.
At the moment, direct feeds for some RBC Line of Credit accounts aren't available. This means transactions may need to be imported manually, which can add extra steps when reconciling your accounts and monitoring balances.
In the meantime, you can download transactions from your RBC Online Banking account and import them into Xero using the Import a Statement option. This helps keep your account up to date while continuing to reconcile activity in Xero.
We'll continue to track interest and gather more input from others who'd benefit from this capability.

Invoice Payments -Mark invoice paid by cash
Many customers pay in cash but still want an invoice sent. I need a way to mark invoices as paid in cash without it appearing to go through a bank account, as this makes reconciliation difficult. A simple “Paid in Cash” option posting to a cash or undeposited funds account would fix this.

Lock date – Allow allocations in current period
New Feature:
The ability to choose what period to allocate specific Transactions / Credits in. Current period set by default. These should be payment type and credit type transactions.If the current period is the default this will save time by not having to open a prior locked period to allocate to a payment or invoice.
The current process falsifies when the credit was taken up and allocated, by forcing you to open prior periods which the credit was generated. When the debtor takes up the credit in current months payment, by opening prior periods this alters the locked period,…4 votesHi Katrina, thanks for sharing your thoughts on lock dates. Currently, tasks like allocating credit notes or prepayments can be blocked if transactions fall before the lock date. A non-advisor user can still apply a credit note if:
- The credit note is dated before the lock date and the invoice or bill is after the lock date, or
- The invoice or bill is dated before the lock date and the credit note is after the lock date.
However, if both the credit note and the invoice or bill are dated before the lock date, a non-advisor can’t apply it. In this case, an adviser needs to either temporarily remove the lock or apply the credit note themselves.
Xero also provides both a Standard and an Adviser lock date, which lets advisers restrict staff while still completing necessary allocations and adjustments.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can…

Bank Feeds - Streamline the authority form for Co-operative 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.…
1 voteHi Carolyn, thanks for raising this with the community. We can see how a simpler way to connect Co-operative Bank accounts could make getting started with bank feeds much easier.
At the moment, the setup process for some bank feeds is determined by the bank's requirements, which may include completing and submitting an authority form before the feed can be activated. While waiting for the bank feed to be approved, you can import bank statements manually using CSV files to keep your accounts up to date and continue reconciling transactions.
I've updated the status of this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking community interest. If you'd like to share more, it would be helpful to know which part of the setup process caused the most friction, whether it was the forms, the approval timeframe, or something else.

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. This isn't something we have plans of ATM but we'll start to get a sense of others that'd like to see this from your idea here.

Find & Recode - Find & Recode to recode dates
It would be great if we could recode the dates on invoices - and I'm not meaning due dates. We have holiday programmes running in April and start advertising them in March. Our online booking system sends through the new invoices to be approved at the time of booking. This would be fine except our financial year runs 1 April - 31 March and we have to manually change the date each invoice was issued to an April date. This gets very frustrating and time consuming.

Reconciliation | Find & Match - Default to show spent/received items
In Find and Find and Match function in Bank Reconciliation
Set the "Show spent items" and "Show receive items" to default to what was last used, OR to be always on.

We'll start to feel out the interest of this here and I'll make sure to let you know here if there are any plans for changing the behaviour of this check box.

Bank Feeds | Check Dates - Ability for Xero to autopopulate the check with date and payee
Currently, a check written is downloaded in the feed with the date the check cleared and no payee name. It would be fantastic if AI could read the check, enter the payee and the date the check was actually written rather than the date it cleared. That would save the user from having to look up the check on the bank website and manually editing it so that the bank reconciliation is actually correct.
2 votesThanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Idea’s David. We can appreciate the need for AI to read the details such as payee and date when the check was written. We’ll start to track support in your idea from the community, here.

JAX | Access Larger Dataset and Capability
Our company is a BIG proponent of the use of AI technologies. But because we don't currently integrate with Xero directly with our AI tool, I was hoping to use JAX to retrieve the information that we need.
Unfortunately JAX has a very limited subset of info it can retrieve making the results not very useful. It would be more helpful if JAX could have more lines of information or more results back from whatever query it did in the back end, so that I can get the data out on my side.
My example is that I asked JAX…
1 voteHi Sean, thanks for sharing this idea. We understand tat giving JAX access to a larger dataset and support deeper historical analysis could improve function.
The idea is to expand JAX’s data access and processing capabilities, allowing users to ask broader questions across more historical data and gain deeper insights without needing to manually combine data in Xero.
We encourage the community to share some more use cases and how JAX could be improved.

Bank Feed | Fidelity - Support for (LLC) investment accounts
Please allow direct bank feeds with Fidelity. They are one of the largest financial institutions in the world!!
