Open Banking is part of a government-led initiative called Consumer Data Right.  

It is a standardised, secure method of sharing your banking data, no matter which Australian bank you have data with. It gives instant access to your data over a secure connection. It is more secure and efficient than alternative options, such as setting up a direct bank connection (direct bank feed) or using a third party screen scraping utility.

Benefits of Open Banking include:

• more data from more banks
• secure access to your data
• a single consent process covering all banks
• immediate access to your data, updated daily
• potential to receive historical data back to January 2017.

To facilitate Open Banking, Reckon works with SISS Data Services, Australia’s leading independent provider of secure banking and financial data services and an Accredited Consumer Data Right recipient.

How to set up an open banking feed >

• zSave time: On average, manual reconciliations can take up to an hour. But by connecting your bank to Reckon, the process can be done in less than 10 minutes.
• Keep track of cash flow: Bank reconciliation keeps your financial status up to date so you always have sufficient funds and don’t end up spending money you don’t have. The process matches up the records in your accounting software and what’s in your bank accounts, cash account, credit card statements etc so you get an accurate picture of your company’s cash flow and can make more informed decisions for your business.
• Prevents errors, fraud and unnecessary charges: By implementing a regular process to look over your cash balances and financial records you can actively pick up bank errors, fraud and other mistakes that could be costly to your business. You are also alerted to bank fees, bank service fees or bank charges that may be preventable in the future.
• Stay on top of unpaid invoices: Reconciliation helps ensure that your balance sheet accurately reflects your bank account balance and that there are no major discrepancies.
