When someone changes a supplier's bank account details in Xero, who gets notified? 📧

Only the person who made the change! That's a significant internal control gap and a potential fraud risk. The business owner, finance manager and payment approver are not automatically notified.

That's why we built VendorAlert - Xero Connected App.

We're excited to announce that VendorAlert is now live🚀

Connect your Xero organisation and VendorAlert will:

✅ Monitor contact bank and payment details
✅ Alert the people you choose when details change
✅ Show what changed, who changed it and when
✅ Maintain a full audit history with downloadable PDF reports

Start your 14-day free trial today. No card required.

Stay Alert, Stay Secure.
