Recipes for translating bank CSVs for statement uploads are now added to bank account definitions as file attachments rather than in a large text field. The principle is unchanged. Just the way in which these are stored has been updated, to conserve memory. Read More…
Xero bank feeds
Cameo can now piggy-back onto Xero automated bank feeds. Xero is a business accounting service which can now use the UK’s Open Banking initiative to obtain bank statement transactions from any bank that offers them. Once Xero has obtained the previous day’s transactions for an account, Cameo can fetch these from Xero so Cameo’s bank accounts can also be kept up-to-date and in sync with Xero. Read More…
Further integration with GoCardless for direct debit management
More information is now available within Cameo when using GoCardless as direct debits service provider: • Membership records have a new field “Direct Debit amount” which records the amount of the regular payment by Direct Debit. • GoCardless’ Customer Identifier is automatically stored in the membership Bank Reference field. • A new section “direct debit information” on the Membership Info menu retrieves GoCardless records for the selected membership, which presents much the same information as GoCardless’ dashboard, along with two buttons:
• “update amount”, which replaces the membership record’s direct debit amount field with that held by GoCardless, and •
“update GC email”, which updates GoCardless record of the customer’s email address.
• A new substitution {show: direct debit amount} includes the value in the direct debit amount field during template merging. Read More…
Reconciliation transaction matching
The method of matching bank statement transactions to memberships has been tweaked a little. Rather than only matching members to bank transactions when accounts are the same, we now include memberships with different accounts, but weight them less so they would appear lower down the list of possible matches than a better match.

Deletion of pending deposit items
It is now possible to delete pending deposit items and deposit evidence (e.g. cheque images). You can also now include PNG images as deposit evidence, as well as JPG and PDF. Read More…
Donations: per-member totals and anonymous donations
A new Donations section in Search More offers (a) a table listing totals for all donations by membership over a certain amount and period, rather than just identifying memberships previously, and (b) a table of anonymous donations over a specified period, grouped by any reference provided for them. Reconciliation and deposits are now able to attribute a payment as an anonymous donation. Read More…

Tax reclaim in the Gift Aid Declarations section of Accounting Info can now include backdated claims for a number of years that you choose. Read More…
Accepting payments by Apple Pay and Google Pay
Cameo is now able to use a Stripe account (which you will probably already be using to accept credit and debit card payments) to offer Apple Pay and Google Pay… Read More…
Booking payments: reconciliation and attribution
When reconciling bank statement transactions in Accounting Tasks, it is now possible to attribute a booking made through Cameo’s event booking form, or manually in the Reservations, Bookings and Attendance section, to a transaction. Because bookings are (almost always) linked to a membership record, reconciliation links the transaction to the membership record, as well as recording the event for which it was made. Read More…
New transactions reconciliation searches
A couple of additions to the automatic matching of bank statement transactions to membership records — to match on booking reference number and also by email address — makes it easier to reconcile payments, especially when payments are made with the payment or event booking forms. Read More…
