    Hi team, we appreciate the growing interest this idea's gaining and want you to know our product teams are very attuned to our customers desire for a bank feed for CAF bank.

    We're continuing to work closely with our third party integrators to make more bank feeds available via open banking. A feed for CAF is high on our agenda, however we're reliant on third party integrators to support this integration in order for us to deliver this for you all.

    I want to assure you we're pushing for it's integration, but we cannot commit or confirm a timeline for this work to be undertaken.

    As soon as there's progress to share we'll happily provide further updates for you all.

    Thank you for the update and for acknowledging the growing demand for a CAF Bank feed. Many UK charities rely on CAF and Xero together, and we appreciate that Open Banking integrations depend on third-party providers. That said, we would strongly encourage Xero to continue prioritising and sponsoring CAF support within its aggregator partnerships. The absence of a live feed creates avoidable manual work and governance risk for charities, particularly those run by volunteers. A CAF feed would unlock significant value across the charity sector and materially improve accuracy, transparency, and audit readiness.

    As a charity treasurer using both CAF Bank and Xero, a direct bank feed would make a meaningful difference to governance, audit readiness, and day-to-day financial controls. Manual imports add unnecessary risk and delay, especially where multiple volunteers are involved in financial processes. CAF already supports the technical requirements, and a Xero feed would significantly improve accuracy and efficiency for charities relying on Xero. This connection would benefit a large portion of the UK charity sector and would remove a key friction point in compliant bookkeeping.
