ANZ bank feed for Xero: import ANZ statements as a live feed

ANZ's direct Xero feed covers transaction, savings, loan, funds management and credit card accounts, but it explicitly excludes asset finance products, ANZ Smart Choice Super and foreign currency accounts. Those are permanent exclusions, not outages, so no amount of reconnecting will produce a feed. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

ANZ's direct feed is one of the better ones in Australia, and for a standard transaction or credit card account it does the job. This page is for the accounts it will not touch. ANZ excludes asset finance products, ANZ Smart Choice Super and foreign currency accounts from bank feeds entirely, and that is a policy exclusion rather than a fault, so waiting or reapplying changes nothing. A business holding a USD or NZD balance with ANZ, or running equipment finance, has an account that will never feed and a reconciliation that is manual forever. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

Where the native ANZ feed falls short

ANZ has a direct Xero feed covering most of its range, including transaction, savings, loan, funds management and credit card accounts. Three categories are excluded outright: asset finance products, ANZ Smart Choice Super, and foreign currency accounts. Activation is next day for a weekday request, but a request made over a weekend does not start feeding until the following Tuesday.

The foreign currency exclusion is the one that hurts most, because it is exactly the account where manual entry is riskiest. An ANZ foreign currency statement is denominated in its own currency, so it needs a matching Xero bank account on a multi-currency plan, and every line has to keep its original currency amount rather than a converted one. Enter those by hand and the FX gain or loss at period end is built on numbers nobody can trace back.

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.

Questions about ANZ and Xero

ANZ excludes foreign currency accounts from bank feeds as a matter of policy, along with asset finance products and ANZ Smart Choice Super. It is not an outage or a failed application, so reapplying will not help. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

Most of the range: transaction, savings, loan, funds management and credit card accounts. The three exclusions are asset finance, ANZ Smart Choice Super and foreign currency accounts. If your account is in the eligible list, set up the ANZ feed and use it. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

Probably not. ANZ activates a weekday request the next day, but a request made over a weekend does not start feeding until the following Tuesday. If the account is eligible and it is still empty after that, treat it as a genuine fault. Either way, StatementClear can post the intervening statement so the gap does not sit in your ledger while you wait.

You can choose direct delivery through Xero's Bank Feeds API for eligible accounts and dates, or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery only supports dates within the last year, and another provider's existing feed can prevent connection. Both routes deliver lines you still reconcile in Xero.
