Xero Bank Feed Not Updating ยท Connection Fix Guide

How to Fix Xero Bank Feed Not Updating

Xero's bank feed stops importing new transactions -- the last imported date is stuck and new transactions from your bank are not appearing in Xero.

At QuickFix Bookkeeping, Xero bank feed issues fall into three categories: connection expired (most common -- bank requires re-authentication every 90 days), bank changed its connection method, or Xero service disruption. The fix is different for each -- identifying which applies saves significant troubleshooting time.

Three Causes -- Which Applies to You?

Connection Expired

Xero shows "Reconnect" or "Action required" banner on the bank account. Fix: click Reconnect and re-enter bank credentials. Most banks require this every 90 days.

Bank Changed Method

Feed was working, then stopped without any warning. Bank may have updated their open banking connection. Fix: disconnect and reconnect -- Xero will use the bank's current method.

Xero Service Issue

Check status.xero.com for active bank feed disruptions. If an outage is shown: wait and retry -- no local action will fix a Xero-side issue.
