Will older transactions in Xero be written over when I link my account?

No. We’ll only begin posting transactions from when you connect. No historical transactions will be posted.

I've created a new account in Xero, why does my statement balance not match the one in my World Account?

If you’ve created a new account in Xero, rather than linking to an existing account, you’ll need to manually update the balance by importing historical transactions. We can’t post any historical transactions on your behalf.

Can I disconnect the transaction feed?

Yes. You can disconnect the feed by going to the Connected Accounts page in your International Collection Account, selecting Manage and then toggle off the account you wish to disconnect.

What information will WorldFirst access from my Xero account?

To protect your information, we’ll only access the names of the bank accounts that you’ve set up in Xero.

How can I get help with linking my Xero account?

You can speak to your WorldFirst account manager anytime or email us at [email protected].

If you’re having problems with the transaction feed you can check it’s working on the Bank feed status page on the Xero website.

If you get an error message in your International Collection Account that says ‘the current organisation is not subscribed to currency’ go to the “Add a foreign currency in Xero” page to add your chosen currency.
