- AppsStarling Bank Xero
What it does
- In the Starling app: Marketplace > Browse > Accounting > Xero > Add, then log in to Xero and pick the organisation and account.
- Shares amount, date, time, direction, reference and merchant details.
- You can share past transactions from up to the last year.
- GBP, EUR and USD business accounts are supported; Starling says multi-currency feeds need Xero Premium.
Limits and gotchas
- Only settled transactions are shared, so card payments can take a couple of days to appear.
- You have to re-authorise data sharing every 90 days.
- If your accountant owns the Xero subscription you may need their permission to connect.
