How does the Telleroo and Xero integration work?

Telleroo has a two-way sync with Xero. Bills in 'Awaiting Payment' sync to Telleroo automatically and can be added to a pay run in a few clicks. Once paid, Telleroo updates the invoice status in Xero and posts the transaction to the Xero bank feed. Payments removed from a pay run move straight back to 'Awaiting Payment' in Xero.

Does Telleroo sync both bills and payroll from Xero?

Yes. Any Xero bill in 'Awaiting Payment' can be pulled into a Telleroo pay run, and Xero Payroll runs sync in one click so employees can be paid in bulk. Both are processed via Faster Payments and posted back to Xero automatically.

How does Telleroo make Xero reconciliation easier?

Payments sync back to Xero instantly, so there's no waiting on a bank feed. A whole pay run can be reconciled in one click, individual salaries stay hidden for payroll, and exchange rates on international payments are updated in Xero automatically.

Can I pay Xero bills without logging into my bank account?

Yes. Invoices sync from Xero into Telleroo, where they are approved and paid from an e-money account set up in your business name, so recipients see payments coming from your business.

Can Telleroo scan bank details from Xero invoices?

Yes. Telleroo can read the sort code and account number from invoice documents attached in Xero, useful for new suppliers without stored bank details. Scanned details are run through Telleroo's fraud checks before payment and synced back to update the Xero contact.

What is the difference between Telleroo and Xero's built-in bill payments?

Xero's built-in bill payments use open banking from your existing bank account and suit lower volumes, subject to your bank's daily limits. Telleroo pays from a dedicated e-money account via Faster Payments and adds payroll payments, multi-layer approval workflows, transactions up to £1 million, fraud protection including Confirmation of Payee, and support for hundreds or thousands of payments at a time.

Why use Telleroo with Xero?

No more keying in bill and payroll payments manually

Businesses spend too much time setting up payee details and manually keying in payments. This can create preventable errors such as incorrect, missed or duplicate payments. With Telleroo you can approve bill and payroll payments from within Xero, without keying in data or logging into bank accounts.

Loved by Xero users

Telleroo has maintained a five-star rating on the

Xero App Store

for over five years across 155 reviews.

The number one reason for joining Telleroo was the ease of integration into Xero, our accounting system. Being able to create payment runs directly from Xero, essentially linking to Telleroo with a click of a button. It also means we don't need to reconcile payments on an individual basis. Being able to just do that in one click saves so much time.

This is exactly the product that we have been looking for. It allows staff to add payments for approval, directly from Xero or our payroll software. A manager can then approve the payments. Very simple to use. No messing about with adding employees to bank mandates. Highly recommend.

Via Xero App Store

We've been using Telleroo for well over a year now and they have made our lives so much easier! Payroll and pay runs are simple and straight forward and if we ever get stuck, their online chat are quick to respond and really helpful. If you're making payments from Xero, I would highly recommend.

Trusted by accountants, bookkeepers and payroll providers

We needed a cloud system that connected up to Xero, made things more efficient and not less, but also was client facing friendly as well.

How Telleroo works with partners

If a client has requested an urgent payment, it can be in the supplier's account in 5 minutes. And if I have 50 suppliers to pay, as all I have to do is push it from Xero, confirm the values and click 'review', this takes me seconds to do.

Sam Mehta

Operations Manager

Clients have checked the payments, agreed to transfer funds and can just send lump sums to cover pay runs. Telleroo offers protection on both sides, which I think creates trust, and confidence.
