Bank Feed - Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
For Xero to expand their bank feed connections to develop a feed that supports Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)
Hi everyone, thank you all for your support and engaging to let us know the importance and use you'd have in being able to receive bank feeds for Charities Aid Foundation(CAF) bank.
We're pleased to share that our provider Tink is building this at present and we're currently testing with a small group of users.
We appreciate your interest, and look forward to getting this in your hands soon. I'll be back to share more news as things progress. Thanks

Just an interim suggestion for people waiting patiently for the automated bank feed to arrive - if in CAF you download your transactions into an OFX format it can be directly imported into Xero without any fiddling around.

I am a bit confused with last comment!..........Just looked on my client who has CAF Bank account but not seeing you can connect the bank ffeds. When on the settings (COA) there is the following message Still 'CAF Bank Limited is not a recognised bank with an available feed. Please be sure you entered the bank's name correctly. You will need to manually import transactions for unrecognised banks manually.

CAF Bank now offers Open Banking with Direct API connections, so there is no reason that Xero cannot have an automatic bank feed for them. They just need to decide to do it.... PLEASE DO THIS!...

Don't understand why can't a CAF bank statement (pdf-csv) bank statement is a bank statement! When other processing software can!

As a small/medium charity we have banked with CAF for a long time. Having worked for other charities with bank feeds I can clearly see how much time and faff we have to endure just because we don't have a bank feed. Doing manual uploads takes time and can create errors. Please help us!!

We really need this - hours wasted manually uploading two different bank accounts weekly and our receivables are always out of date.

This would really help our charity, allowing our volunteers to focus on achieving the charity’s aims of helping the disabled, rather than on doing the admin!

This is is an important way that Xero could support UK charities. Having to log in to the bank to do manual downloads takes up time that would be better spent on something more productive. It was the one thing that made me hesitate about transferring the charity accross from Quickbooks (which does have a CAF bank feed), but I did so in hope that Xero would catch up.

We have had to open a second bank account to facilitate using xero but as a charity would much prefer to return to CAF. As the previous post says, we have been asking for this for years (along with being able to schedule an invoice. Grrrr!) and it would be so beneficial

We’ve been asking for this for 5 years, going back to the days when we had a personal account manager. It would make a huge difference to several of my charity clients.
