    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

    Thanks for the update Kelly, I appreciate the reply :-).

    Further to this, it would be great if you could please clarify:

    - Which bank-feed / Open Banking integrator(s) Xero would use to support CAF Bank?

    - Whether Xero or its integrators have formally reviewed or engaged with CAF’s Open Banking APIs yet? If not, when might one or more definitively plan to?

    - Whether CAF Bank is on Xero’s bank-feed roadmap? If so, whether there is any indicative timeline or milestone for delivery you could share with us all?

    Understanding whether this is a technical blocker, an integrator-readiness issue, or a prioritisation decision would help me plan appropriately.

    We know as small charities we're not a lucrative customer set, but Xero offering Non Profit discounts says that our worth is appreciated by Xero! If you could proactively engage with a third party integrator to push this - perhaps as a CSR initiative? We'd be a very grateful, if not super profitable, customer group!

    Thanks! Amber

    We use Wise, PayPal and our main account is CAF. The amount of extra work we have to do for CAF because there isn't a direct interface is huge. If CAF are ready, it seems crazy to me that Xero would be the party unable to accept the feed. Charities are facing really hard times at the moment. Please do what you can to ease this bit of extra admin, at least! Thank you!
