It's possible that your bank hasn't sent any new transaction data for the selected date range.

If you recently updated your account mappings in the Account Matching page, you need to update your bank feeds. Outdated mappings can prevent transaction data from flowing correctly.

### Common Questions

Below is a list of common questions that arise during the installation process to help ensure a smoother setup.

:::ExpandableHeading
**Do I get an email confirmation when the bank feeds data is pushed to my Xero organization?**

No, currently we don't send any email confirmation after pushing bank feeds data to your Xero organization.
:::

:::ExpandableHeading
**When does the automatic import of my bank transactions trigger?**

**For New Connections**

If you just set up the connection, you don't need to wait. We will push your requested transaction history to Xero immediately based on the data availability from your bank.

**After Connection Setup**

Going forward, you can expect your transactions to appear in Xero early in the morning, typically between **4 AM and 5 AM PST**.

- **Processing Delays:** If we run into an error while processing your data, we will automatically try again. This might take a little extra time.
- **Bank Delays:** We can't import your transactions until your bank sends them to us. If the bank is late releasing the data, it will be late appearing in Xero.

:::ExpandableHeading
**"Invalid Account - The account specified in the request is not valid."**

When trying to enable a bank account, receiving this error indicates a currency mismatch between the bank account in Xero and FISPAN. Verify the currency set for this account in Xero, and then contact FISPAN Support to update the currency in FISPAN. Once updated on the FISPAN side, please proceed with enabling bank feeds for this account.&#x20;

:::ExpandableHeading
**"External Id or Bank AccountId already exists - External Id or BankAccountId already exists in accountSync with id: \[value]"**

If you encounter this error when enabling an account, it indicates that the bank account is already linked to Bank Feeds via a different FISPAN account. To resolve this conflict, you must first disconnect the existing connection. Please follow the steps outlined in the **Managing Outdated Accounts&#x20;**&#x73;ection of the **Disconnecting Bank Feeds&#x20;**&#x67;uide. Once the account is disconnected, you can try enabling it again. If you continue to face issues, please contact FISPAN Support with the specific error details.

:::ExpandableHeading
**"Feed Connection Failed - The AccountToken, AccountNumber or AccountId is already connected to another Xero Bank Account in the selected Xero Organisation."**

If you receive this error, it means the selected Xero bank account is already connected to a bank feed through an external provider (not FISPAN). To resolve this, you must first identify the conflicting provider within Xero and disable that connection. Once the account is disconnected from the provider, you can retry enabling the bank feed through FISPAN. If you continue to experience issues, please reach out to FISPAN Support.
