Why does it take a few days for transactions to show up in Xero?

Transaction Processing Time: The date you initiate a transaction with a vendor is the date you expect it to be recorded. However, it can take several days for the transaction to be processed by the vendor's bank, your bank, and the payment processing system. During busy periods, weekends, or holidays, this delay can be longer. Therefore, the transaction date in Xero is the date when the transaction clears your bank account, not when it was initiated.

* Using Receipt-AI to immediately upload your receipts using SMS, Email or drag and drop minimizes the risk of losing them and ensures all purchases and supplies essential for company operations are documented in Xero, despite bank transaction delays.
