CAF Bank has no Xero bank feed. Import CAF Bank statements as one.

CAF Bank has no Xero bank feed at all. It has been the most-requested missing feed on Xero's product ideas forum for years, and as of late 2025 Xero's reply was that feeds depend on third-party integrators and it could commit to no timeline. StatementClear posts CAF statements in as feed lines.

CAF Bank looks after a large share of UK charity banking, and none of it can feed into Xero. For the treasurer or bookkeeper that means the same job every single month: download the statement, reshape it, import it, check the balance - multiplied by every account the charity holds. StatementClear turns those same statements into a live Xero bank feed instead: deduped, balance-checked and ready to reconcile.

Why CAF Bank has no native Xero feed

CAF Bank has no Xero bank feed at all. It has been the most-requested missing feed on Xero's product ideas forum for years - hundreds of votes from charity treasurers and bookkeepers - and as of late 2025 Xero's own reply was that feeds depend on third-party integrators and it cannot commit to a timeline.

Charity books make the gap worse than it sounds. A CAF Cash account often sits alongside deposit accounts and separately held funds, each needing its own clean trail in Xero because trustees and independent examiners will actually read it. Every one of those accounts is a separate download and import each month, and a mis-keyed import tends to surface months later, at year end. StatementClear maps each CAF account to its own Xero bank account, remembers the column mapping after the first upload, verifies the running balance before anything posts, and skips anything already posted - so a re-upload never double-counts a donation.

The manual way, every month

  • Log in and export a statement (and hope the format didn't change)
  • Reformat columns, dates and signs until Xero's importer accepts it
  • Upload the CSV into the right account and pray nothing doubled up
  • Eyeball the balance, fix what broke, repeat next month

And after all that, it still isn't a feed - it's a one-off import you'll redo next month.

The StatementClear way: a real feed

Upload the statement and it posts into Xero as a live bank feed through Xero's Bank Feeds API - deduped, balance-checked and ready to reconcile. Not another file to import. Converters hand you a CSV; this arrives in Xero the way a bank feed does.

  1. Step 1

    Connect Xero

    Link your org and pick the account that has no feed.

  2. Step 2

    Upload your CAF Bank 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

    Duplicates are skipped, the running balance is verified, and sign errors are caught before anything posts.

  4. Step 4

    It lands as a feed

    Clean lines arrive in Xero through the Bank Feeds API, ready to reconcile.
