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

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.

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.
