If you use Xero, an accounting software, syncing data from your existing account can often be time-consuming. Each time you initiate or receive a payment, or make a trade, you need to manually update Xero to ensure these transactions are up-to-date. This means more risk of human error and endless minutes spent on inputting data. Enter Ebury connectivity with Xero.
Ebury is a Xero-approved App partner and our app allows you to sync your Ebury data with Xero hassle-free. This helps you automate what used to be routine, manual tasks, save time inputting transaction data and minimise time spent reconciling invoices – helping you take control of your cash flows within Xero.

How to set up this integration
Here's a simple 5-step process for syncing your Ebury data into Xero. It's easy, quick, and smooth.
Step 1: Log into Ebury Online. On the 'Dashboard', on the left-hand side, click on the contact's name.
Step 2: Find the section titled “Connections”. This is where you can set up the connection to Xero.
Step 3: You will find a description of what the connectivity does. Click on the "Set up" button to get started.
Step 4: A drop-down will appear with the relevant list of software to connect to. Click on "Xero" from the drop-down list.
Step 5: Click on "Connect to the platform". This will open a new browser tab. If you have a pop-up blocker on the browser, then the new page won't open. Unblock the page from the pop-up blocker to continue.
Step 6: On the Xero authentication page, you might be asked for Xero credentials, if it is not already stored in the browser cache. Once the authentication is completed successfully, if you have multiple organisations on the Xero side, you will be asked to select one of them. Pick the relevant organisation; you will see the page to provide your explicit consent for Ebury to push bank feeds to Xero. Click on the “Allow Access” button.
Step 7: On the accounts mapping page, select the necessary Ebury account and map it to a Xero bank account account. If you don't have an Ebury account in Xero yet, select "Create account", and the system will create one on the fly. Ebury will push data to the mapped bank account in Xero. Select a 'Feed Start Date'. This will tell Ebury the date you want to sync the transactions. We can go up to one year in the past.
Step 8: Navigate to the top until you see the "Continue" button. It will forward you to a page which clearly instructs you to close the window since this process is completed.
Note:
All the synced transactions are known as bank feeds in Xero.
The Bank Feeds will start to flow from Ebury to Xero from the day after the setup.
Please use the same 'Connections' tab in Ebury Online to also unlink certain bank accounts or disconnect the Bank Feeds.
When the Xero user who authorised the Bank Feeds is no longer a Xero user for the organisation, then the Bank Feeds automatically gets deauthorised. Hence, we suggest clients set up the Bank feeds with the Founder or someone whose odds of staying with the organisation are higher.
The user who is setting up the Bank Feeds should have access to both Xero and Ebury Online in order to complete the user journey.
Getting started
Existing Ebury clients can go through the above procedure and set up the Bank feeds to Xero.
