If you miss the deadline, your existing bank feed will stop importing transactions into Xero and you will lose the benefits of having a bank connection, such as easy bank reconciliation. The new bank feeds will be made available in stages, so more feeds will become available over the coming months – keep an eye out on your Xero dashboard to see when you can switch.

FNB is through Yodlee, so you can refresh the feeds as you like. If you’re not sure what you’ve got or you feel it’s not working properly, drop an email to and the bank feed experts will take a look for you.

Stripe + Xero
Starling for Business is a different kind of business bank account. Because it’s direct from the bank, there’s a much lower risk of duplicates or missing data. I understand they are routed directly rather than via Yodlee. Our experience with the latter is that they update roughly once per day around mid-morning .
Hi @Withheld, at present it is just current (day-to-day) business transactional accounts that are supported via premium feeds. We continue to talk with RBS about the introduction of more feed types.

I’d pay £3.50 a month if that covered every account I have with RBS, but not £3.50 for each of them. I’d also miss being able to refresh the bank feed on demand, which is possible with Yodlee and not, it seems, with the direct feed. We have been perfectly happy with the existing Natwest feed, no dropped or duplicated transactions and the facilty to refresh as needed.
