Airwallex bank feed for Xero: import the history the feed will not sync

Where the native Airwallex feed falls short

Airwallex has a native Xero bank feed, one per currency wallet, syncing hourly - one of the better native options. Its limits sit at the edges: multiple currencies need a multi-currency Xero plan, nothing from before feed activation syncs automatically, and the automated sync looks back 90 days at most (365 with a manual re-sync).

Airwallex creates one Xero feed per currency wallet, named in the pattern AWX_{account nickname}_{currency}, and syncing more than one currency requires a Xero plan with multi-currency support. First activation only backfills seven days of transactions; older activity needs the manual sync-older-transactions tool, which reaches back 365 days at most, and anything from before the feed existed will not sync automatically at all. The feed also only carries transactions that touch a wallet balance, so activity settled elsewhere never appears in Xero.

The manual way, every month

• Download the statement for the missing period
• Check the file format, dates and signed amounts
• Import into the correct Xero account and review overlaps
• Compare the closing balance and reconcile the lines

A usable CSV or OFX from the provider may be enough. Native PDF import is also available for eligible US and Canadian Xero organisations.

Review the statement, then choose how to import it

Preview the extraction, check the transactions, then send eligible lines through Xero's Bank Feeds API or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year and can be blocked by another provider's feed connection. Use CSV for older history. Overlap checks cover previous uploads to the same StatementClear feed, so also check any period already imported from other sources.

1. Step 1

   Start with your statement

   Preview a file before choosing how to get it into Xero.

2. Step 2

   Upload your Airwallex statement

   PDF, CSV or Excel - whatever you can export. Map the columns once and we remember the mapping.

3. Step 3

   We check it first

   Review dates, amounts and signs. Balance checks use the source data, and overlap checks use prior StatementClear uploads.

4. Step 4

   Send to Xero or download CSV

   Send eligible lines directly to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. You complete reconciliation in Xero.
