Xero bank feeds are changing!

In the coming weeks, existing Xero bank feeds with Barclays, and ALL bank feeds set up using Yodlee, will no longer be available due to new industry-wide standards that take effect from mid September.

If you use these feeds then you will need to change to new bank feeds where available to ensure that transactions can continue to flow into your Xero account.  If you already have direct bank feeds set up that are not via Barclays or Yodlee then you are unlikely to be affected.

Xero have partnered with OpenWrks to bring you new bank feeds which are secure, easy to set up from inside Xero, and are free of charge.

The new feeds will be available in stages for most UK banks and account types beginning in August, however some users won’t have a feed to connect to as some banks will be making feeds available at a later date and will not be ready in time.  In the the interim, those users will need to manually import Xero via the statement import function, or wait until a feed is available and then back date transactions.

Not all banks and feeds will require changes, and you can check the current status of your bank and its feeds here to see how you will be affected.  Xero will notify affected users directly through the Xero dashboard and may even email you directly with instructions on what to do for the new feeds.

If you have any issues with your Xero bank feed then please get in touch.
