   This would be fantastic and have actually received several clients over the past few weeks and CAS teammates that this would benefit.

   Hi everyone, we understand that it's not ideal when the one person who set up a bank feed is away, causing delays to your reconciliation.

   This is a tricky one, and the limitation you're experiencing is due to how certain bank feeds work, when supplied via our third party provider, Yodlee. These feeds are tied to an individual's online banking login credentials. When a bank requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) – like security questions or a one-time code – only the user who originally set up the feed can provide those details to refresh it. This is a security measure required by the bank, not by Xero, and you can read more about this here.

   As noted by others here, one option is to have another user deactivate and then reactivate the feed with their own login details. A different approach could be for the bank account holder to arrange a separate online banking login for their accountant or bookkeeper, who can then set up and manage the feed.

   Because this functionality is determined by the bank's security requirements for these types of feeds, it isn't something we can change in Xero.

   However, we are constantly working to improve our bank connections. We're excited to announce a new partnership with Plaid, which'll bring more reliable, direct API feeds to many of our US customers starting from October 2025. These new feeds will resolve this refresh issue for the banks involved. You can find out more on the Xero blog: Plaid joins forces with Xero for enhanced US bank feeds.

   The best long-term solution is for more banks to build direct feeds with Xero. You can play a big part in this! We’ve found the best way forward is for customers like you to contact your bank directly and let them know you’d like them to integrate with Xero. They can then register their interest with our team here.

   Thanks again for the valuable discussion on this!

   We need to be able to assist our clients with connecting or refreshing bank feeds; additionally some of our clients have multiple users working on their accounts and they would like to be able to refresh vs having to find the only user that can refresh bank feeds.
