At Crunch, we’re always looking to improve and develop our software to make our clients’ lives easier. That’s why we're pleased to let you know that Crunch has made our Open Banking service completely free for our online accounting software and our Crunch Free bookkeeping software. You can have secure, automated feeds of your banking transactions directly into your accountancy software.
Over the past decade, we’ve invested millions each year to develop our software. We’re continuing to develop great new features and lead the way with our award-winning combination of online accounting software and service.
We know that one of the things that some clients find time-consuming and inconvenient is manually uploading bank transactions using a ‘.csv’ file. That’s why we listened to your feedback and implemented an Open Banking solution to increase the number of banks that we can get secure feeds from.
By linking your bank account to your Crunch software through Open Banking, you’ll be able to enjoy a quicker, cleaner, and more secure service without the hassle of manual uploads of bank data. Open Banking can reduce the risk of human error, save you time, and make keeping your Crunch account up to date that little bit easier.
Please note: Open Banking is only available for use with business bank accounts. If you're a sole trader using a personal bank account, you'll need to manually upload your statements.
