Remittance Go & Xero
Specifically designed for Xero integration and synchronisation
Nobody Wakes Up Excited to Reconcile Remittance Advice
Nevertheless, it’s the “data entry tax” we pay for doing business.
You get a PDF from a customer that lists thirty different invoices, some with partial payments and a few random discounts, and suddenly your afternoon is gone.
If you’re using Xero, you already know what good software feels like. You don’t want a clunky third-party tool that feels like pushing weetbix down the drain. You want something that feels robust and native to your financial workflow.
That’s Remittance Go. We didn’t just build a bridge to Xero; we built a home for your accounts receivable workflow that was design to complement Xero.
1. Security That Follows Xero’s Guidelines
Your financial data is your most sensitive asset. We treat it with the reverence it deserves by adhering to Xero’s official best practices.
- Xero Login & Authentication: No need to manage yet another set of credentials. Use your existing Xero Login to access Remittance Go. This Single Sign-On (SSO) approach isn’t just convenient—it’s more secure.
- Secure Token Storage: We never see your Xero password. We use encrypted access tokens to communicate with the API, and these tokens are stored using industry-standard encryption protocols.
- Permissions Integrity: We do not—and cannot—affect your Xero permissions. If a user has “Read Only” access in Xero, Remittance Go respects those boundaries. We act as a window into your data, not a master key that overrides your internal controls.
2. A UI That Feels Like Home
There is nothing worse than switching between two apps that look like they were designed in different decades. We designed Remittance Go with a familiar User Interface (UI) that resembles the Xero aesthetic.
Familiar Xero Organisation Switching
Just like in Xero, you can navigate between different clients or entities using a familiar organisation dropdown menu. If you are a bookkeeper managing ten different files, you can swap between Xero organisations in two clicks.
No logging out, no clearing cookies—just a smooth transition from one entity to the next.
3. Intelligent Matching to Your Xero Invoices
The core frustration of accounts payable is the “Remittance PDF.” It arrives in your inbox, often containing dozens of line items that correspond to multiple invoices.
Automated Invoice Matching
Remittance Go analyzes your uploaded PDFs and automatically matches Remittance PDFs against Invoices inside your Xero account.
- Smart Recognition: We look at supplier names, invoice numbers, and total amounts.
- Error Reduction: By automating the match, we eliminate the “fat-finger” errors that occur during manual data entry.
- Validation: You get a clear match indicator, allowing you to review and approve before any data is pushed back to Xero.
Bulk Reconciliations
Why reconcile one by one when you can do it all at once? Our integration allows you to create Xero bulk reconciliations. Once the remittance is matched, we can help you group those payments into a single reconciliation event, saving you hours of clicking “OK” in the Xero bank reconciliation screen.
5. Visibility Into Your Batch Payments
If your workflow involves batch payments, you know the struggle of tracking which invoices were included in which payment run.
Remittance Go allows you to view your Xero Batch Payment history directly within our interface. This provides a clear audit trail, linking the specific remittance advice you received from a supplier to the exact batch payment recorded in your Xero ledger.

6. Founded by Aussie Pros
We aren’t just software developers; we are Australian bookkeepers with Xero certification.
We understand the specific nuances of the Australian tax system, GST requirements, and the local business culture. When you use Remittance Go, you’re using a tool designed by professionals who have sat in your chair and felt the “reconciliation headache.” We built the solution we wanted to use ourselves.
7. Complete Control Over Your Data
We believe in a “no-lock-in” philosophy. Your data belongs to you, and your Xero account is your source of truth.
- Disconnect Anytime: If you ever decide Remittance Go isn’t for you, you can disconnect your Xero account instantly. We don’t leave messy “ghost” data in your Xero file.
- User Synchronisation: Security is dynamic. If a staff member leaves your company and you delete them from your Xero organisation, they are automatically blocked from Remittance Go. Our system checks your Xero user list in real-time, ensuring that only authorised personnel can view your financial data.
- Is my Xero data safe with Remittance Go?
Absolutely. We use the official Xero API and OAuth 2.0 authentication. This means we never see or store your Xero password. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, following Xero’s strict security best practices.
- What happens if I have multiple companies in Xero?
Remittance Go handles multiple organisations beautifully. You can use the organisation dropdown to switch between entities instantly, provided your Xero user has the necessary permissions for those organisations.
- Does Remittance Go change my bank balances in Xero?
We do not “force” any changes. We help you match documents to invoices and prepare reconciliations. You always maintain final control over the “Post” or “Reconcile” button within Xero.
- What happens if I delete a user in Xero?
Security is our priority. If a user is removed from your Xero organisation, our system will detect this change via the API. That user will immediately lose access to the corresponding organisation within Remittance Go.
- Can I try it before I commit?
Yes, we offer a 14 day free trial.
- Do you support bulk payments?
Yes. One of our most popular features is the ability to view your Xero Batch Payment history and match a single remittance PDF against a complex batch of multiple invoices.
