Connecting your professional bank account to Accountable automates most of your bookkeeping and keeps you in control of your finances without manual effort. This article covers why connecting your account is useful, how to do it, how safe it is, and which banks are supported.
Connecting your bank account to Accountable opens up a new level of automation. Concretely, Accountable uses the connection to your bank account to:
Eliminate most manual work: with your account connected, you never have to type in a merchant name or correct an amount again. Accountable also assigns the relevant accounting categories automatically.
Make sure you never lose a paper receipt again: you make a payment, Accountable notifies you, and you can attach the receipt straight away.
Tell you when your invoices have been paid by your clients, without you needing to open your banking app.
Show you how much cash is actually available in your account, based on your balance and upcoming tax deadlines.
There are several ways to start the bank connection process:
From the blue Bank Account screen, select your bank under Connect your bank account or click Search for more banks.
From Settings, go to Bank settings and click Add new.
From there, the exact process may differ from bank to bank. The market for bank connectors is gradually maturing, but no universal standard has emerged yet.
It is extremely safe, for several reasons:
1/ Accountable only has read access to your bank transactions, which means it cannot technically initiate transactions on your behalf.
2/ As a payment institution regulated by the National Bank of Belgium, Accountable has the strictest data security processes in place to protect your data. We are regularly audited and have strict reporting obligations.
3/ Your trust is our most important asset. We take that responsibility seriously.
This depends on your subscription.
Plan name | Number of bank accounts |

In the world where everyone seems to be out to get small entrepreneurs and overwhelm them with new rules, more taxes and reporting obligations, Accountable often feels like the one steady partner that actually wants you to succeed, providing quick, clear and personalised support. Thank you!

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
