FAQs

Can I reconcile the payment to Xero?

Yes. Select ‘l know what to do’ when creating a payment. This will allow you to enter any account code from Xero synced from your Chart of Accounts. Coding your payment from OFX will send a payment feed directly to Xero, which will auto-reconcile the bill.

Can I instruct my accountant to reconcile the payment?

Yes. Select ‘let my accountant do it’ when creating a payment which will directly send through a bank feed to Xero. Your accountant will then be able to reconcile the bill in Xero and match it to the corresponding bank feed.

Why are my Xero tax codes different in OFX to Xero?

We use standard Xero accounting and tax codes synced through the API. These codes are specific to your Xero account and region. If you have customised your accounting and tax codes, please contact our support team at business@ofx.com.

My transaction isn’t syncing to Xero?

  • Log in to our OFX online platform or Business Mobile App.
  • Click on the Payment tab.
  • Filter and locate your payment.
  • Click on More details.
  • Click on the Xero link.
