which UAE banks have live bank feeds with Xero?
Updated November 2024
About bank feeds
Bank feeds automatically import transactions from your bank or financial institution directly into your Xero organisation, eliminating the need to import transactions manually. Once you’ve connected a bank feed, statement lines appear in your bank account in Xero ready for you to reconcile each day.
Direct feeds
Where we have an agreement with your bank or financial institution, direct feeds automatically send transactions into your Xero organisation on a regular basis. The banks only provide one direct feed per bank account, so the feed can only be connected to one bank account in Xero.
Once your direct feed is connected, statement lines will appear in your bank account in Xero ready for you to reconcile.

How cloud accounting works
Users subscribe to an online accounting software solution and move their books to the cloud. From then on, they can access their accounts from any web browser, or from an app on their phone. Most users connect the software to their business bank account, so that banking transactions flow automatically from the bank to the books. This saves them from a lot of data entry.
Benefits of cloud accounting software

Data about your sales or income and purchases can flow straight from your bank to your books so you don’t spend hours transcribing them
You can see your current financial position at any time
