Today, I’m absolutely thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between Xero and FIFA Women’s Football. Xero has been named a FIFA Women’s Football Partner under FIFA’s new commercial partnership structure, which takes effect in 2023.

At Xero, we’re committed to fine tuning every aspect of our global operations to ensure we’re maximising the positive impact we can have on people and the planet. As part of our focus on our environmental impact, and aligning with our Net Zero @ Xero initiative, today I am stoked to share that in Aotearoa we have made the move to electric vehicles (EVs) with the help of Zilch and Hyundai. 

Xero strongly advocates for the restoration of peace, and we respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and the protection of its people.  Xero extends its support to the people directly and indirectly affected by the invasion of Ukraine, including our customers, our people who are citizens of Ukraine, Russia and surrounding areas, those with family or personal connections, and all our people – who are affected in their own way.

For more than a decade, we’ve given customers the option to connect their bank account to Xero, so their transaction data automatically flows into our software. These bank feeds help streamline reconciliation and offer better visibility of cash flow, so customers know where they stand and can make more informed decisions about their business.
