In this article, we take the time to explain you the ins & outs of connecting your professional bank account to Accountable.
Connecting your bank account to Accountable opens a new world of automation. Concretely, we use the connection to your bank account to:
Eliminate most manual work: with your account connected, you never have to type in a merchant name, nor correct an amount again. We also assign the relevant accounting categories better.
Make sure you never lose a paper receipt again: you make a payment, we notify you, you can attach the receipt;
Tell you when your invoices have been paid by your clients, without having you to open your banking app;
Compute how much cash is actually available on your account, based on your balance and upcoming tax deadlines.
There are several ways for you to start the bank connection procedure:
From the blue "Bank Account" screen, select your bank under "Connect your bank account" or click on "search for more banks"
From the settings, in "Bank settings", click on "add new".
From there, the exact procedure might differ from bank to bank. Indeed, the market for bank connectors is gradually maturing but no standard has yet emerged.
It is extremely safe, and this for several reasons:
1/ We only have a "read" access on your bank transactions, meaning that we cannot technically initiate transactions on your behalf.
2/ As a payment institution regulated under the National Bank of Belgium, we have 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 biggest asset. We know we don't have the right to mess this up.
This depends on your subscription.

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.
