Help and support

If you work with an accountant
They see the same accounts and the same view, so for questions about your figures they are often quickest.

If a client's bank feed stops
Ask your client to reconnect it. Only the business that owns the account can re-authorise access.
Trouble signing in?
Check the email address
Cashew signs you in with the work email your account was set up with, which may not be the address you use day to day.
Use the reset link
The sign-in screen can send you a password reset and can recover your username if you are not sure which address to use.
Still stuck
Email the support team from the address you expect to sign in with, and say what happens when you try.
Common questions
Can I disconnect whenever I want?
Yes. Banks and Xero can be disconnected in Settings whenever you like, and Cashew stops receiving new data straight away, so nothing you connect is locked in.
Do I need to bank with Allica?
No. Cashew connects to the accounts you already have through regulated open banking, whichever banks you use, so nothing has to move. Read more about open banking.
What can Cashew see, and what can it do?
Cashew has read-only access to bank feeds via open banking, and accounting data from Xero. It cannot trigger payments, nor write to your books.
Will this affect my lending with Allica?
No. What you share through Cashew is never used to make lending decisions about you. Cashew is there to help you understand your company's finances, and that is the only thing it is for.
Open banking & security
What is open banking?
Open banking is a UK-regulated framework that lets you securely share bank account data with authorised providers. It is the same technology used by major accounting and finance tools. Read more about open banking.
Is it safe to connect my accounts?
Yes. Connections are made through an FCA-authorised open banking provider, and you approve access directly with your bank. Cashew never sees or stores your online banking credentials.
Can Cashew move my money?
No. Cashew's access is strictly read-only. It cannot make payments, move money, or change anything in your bank account.
What data does Cashew see?
Account balances and transaction history for the accounts you connect, or that an advisor you have approved connects for you. Cashew uses this to build your cashflow view, forecasts, and alerts.
How do I revoke access?
You can disconnect your accounts at any time from Organisation Settings, and you can also withdraw consent directly with your bank. Access you have granted to an advisor can be revoked from Organisation Settings → Members.
