Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Very low fees. Much better than credit cards! Integration with Xero is excellent. Handles multi-currency as well. I have been using GoCardless for my business since 2012. When we first started using them they were a small start-up and we had remained loyal and supportive of them for over 7 years. Cons Getting multi-currency setup correctly in Xero took a few extra steps and wasn't documented clearly at the time (we had to setup an additional clearing account in Xero). But the GoCardless support was very useful, and guided me to the Xero documentation I needed to follow. Sadly their service today is nothing like it was in the past. Over the years there have been some issues with their service but they had generally been helpful in getting things fixed.
