    Hi everyone, I want to assure you your voice is heard here and feedback is being shared back with our product teams.

    We understand the desire to get this idea moving along and as mentioned in our last update we know this is an area that more controls and permissions would be most beneficial to our customers.

    We’d like to share progress that we’re making for banking permissions - Work to provide more controls of sensitive banking information has started and will initially include the ability to restrict users from seeing sensitive banking information such as; account balances, bank transactions, and financial summaries.

    We know this doesn’t relieve all pain points of this idea - It’ll be the first phase, a stepping stone of sorts in the development of per-bank controls.

    As development continues we’ll share further updates as soon as they’re available with you all here.

    Thank you for…

    Not good enough. I will need to start looking at alternatives.

    Hi community, your ongoing interest in giving users the ability to reconcile without viewing account balances is welcomed.

    We understand why this level of bank permission control matters. As recently mentioned in my updates on this idea, while we do have current work for user roles underway there is more complexities to developing permissions within the banking space and this isn't on the immediate roadmap.

    As we continue our journey to evolving roles within Xero we'll be sure to share any progress for permissions in bank accounts with you all, here.

    I'm gobsmacked that this functionality is not available yet. My business is at a stage where I need to handover administrative tasks, such as reconciling payments. I cannot do this without disclosing the company bank balance. Whilst I value transparency, employees don't always understand business - a healthy bank balance may make employees feel they should be entitled to more, whilst an unhealthy balance may make employees feel insecure.
    I am now in a position where I cannot handover my administrative tasks due to this basic functionality and privacy feature being unavailable. I will be looking at alternate providers.
