How often does it sync?
Four times a day on its own, which is the most UK banks allow without you signing in again, plus whenever you press Sync now. Nothing is ever paid out: the connection is read-only.
Sorting the rest
Payments without a reference go into a short 'to sort' list. Tap one and match it to an invoice or a bill, or put it under a category. Payees you sort once are remembered.
Why it matters
When the bank is matched, your profit and loss, VAT figures and 'owed to you' are right without anyone typing anything in. That's the part of bookkeeping most people hate, done for you.
Which trades use bank feed most?
electricians and pubs, cafés and b&bs. See how the office fits your trade on its own page.
Questions about bank feed
