Xero outage left thousands of businesses stranded at month-end

Thousands of Xero users were left in the lurch by a significant outage that began yesterday. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time for businesses, at the crucial end-of-month period. 

The disruption prevented many businesses from accessing essential financial records and completing transactions. Naturally this caused widespread frustration and operation delays. 

What caused the Xero outage?

The issue, which Xero attributed to a malfunction in their cloud service infrastructure, lasted several hours. Although it’s not clear what exactly caused the major Xero downtime. 

Xero has since confirmed that the problem has been resolved. However, reports of difficulties are still being reported to Downdetector. 

The latest incident follows a similar major outage in November 2023, raising concerns for many about their reliability. But as businesses continue to face the fallout of Xero’s outage, the importance of reliable and uninterrupted financial services has never been clearer.
