Alert your team when contact bank details change immediately
When a contact’s bank details change, Xero only warns the person who made the change. VendorAlert alerts the people you choose and logs every change in Xero so fraud and costly mistakes can’t slip through.
The moment a contact’s bank details change in Xero, the people you choose get an alert email like this.

Why VendorAlert
Xero warns the one person who shouldn’t be trusted
When contact bank details change, Xero emails a security notice but only to whoever made the change. That’s no defence against fraud or a hacked login. VendorAlert tells the people who can actually stop a bad payment.
The gap
Xero’s built-in alert
- Only the person who made the edit is notified
- A hacked or malicious login simply warns itself
- Approvers and finance never see the change
- No audit report to run on past changes
With VendorAlert
The right people, alerted
- Alerts go to the recipients you choose
- Catches changes from hacked logins
- Approvers verify before any payment goes out
- Every change saved to a permanent audit history
Full audit history
Every change on the record and ready to export
See who changed what, the old and new values, and exactly when for every contact, going back as far as you need. Built for audits, disputes and proving nothing slipped through.

Read-only by design - we can never change your data
VendorAlert connects to Xero with read-only access. We detect when a contact’s bank details change, but we can’t edit, add or delete anything. Bank details can only ever be changed by your team, in Xero.
