What is Bankinplay and what is its main value proposition?

Bankinplay is an innovative cloud-based application designed to revolutionise corporate cash management. Its main value proposition lies in the full integration of a company's banking transactions with its corporate management systems (ERP), providing a clear and up-to-date overview of its finances.
This enables the automation of critical accounting and treasury processes, such as bookkeeping and reconciliation, resulting in a significant increase in productivity, minimisation of human error and real-time financial information for more informed decision-making.

How does Bankinplay achieve automation and what key processes does it automate?

Bankinplay achieves automation through official and secure connections with more than 15,000 banks worldwide, retrieving banking transactions in real time, regardless of the source format (Norma43, MT940, etc.) and transforming them into a single, readable format. The key processes it automates include:

  • Downloading, classifying, and recording bank transactions: Eliminating manual tasks and ensuring that your accounts are always up to date.
  • Bank reconciliation: Automatically achieving reconciliation rates of over 90% by continuously comparing bank transactions with accounting entries in the ERP.
  • Collection and payment management (Third Party Module): Automatically reconciling invoices issued and received with collections and payments from banks, cards, and POS terminals, even handling multiple invoices for a single collection/payment and detecting discrepancies.
  • Report generation: Automatically providing cash flow reports and forecasts, enabling in-depth analysis and better liquidity management.

How extensive is Bankinplay's compatibility with different banks and ERP systems?

Bankinplay offers comprehensive global compatibility. It connects to more than 15,000 banks worldwide, regardless of the format of their bank statements. In terms of integration with ERP systems, it is compatible with the leading systems on the market, including Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics 365 Finance, SAP R3, S/4HANA, Business One and ByDesign, UNIT4, Oracle NET Suite, SAGE X3, SPIGA+, among others. It also has a powerful API that allows connection to other systems such as CRM or customised dashboards.

What are the benefits of using Bankinplay compared to manual methods or simple banking aggregators?

Unlike manual methods or banking aggregators that only show your balance, Bankinplay offers a comprehensive solution with multiple benefits:

  • Full automation: Eliminates the need for manual processes in unloading, sorting, accounting and reconciliation, freeing up time for strategic tasks.
  • Up-to-date, real-time information: Direct connection to banks for intraday updates, without relying on banking portals, offering a proactive view of finances.
  • Accurate and continuous reconciliation: Greater precision and real-time error detection, ensuring a perfect accounting close and reducing audit times.
  • Comprehensive, unified view: Multi-bank and multi-ERP capability, integrating all financial information in one place, including management of multiple companies and currencies.
  • Advanced treasury: Work with estimated collection and payment dates, rather than just due dates, providing a more accurate liquidity forecast.
  • Scalability and accessibility: Cloud-based platform, affordable for businesses of any size and industry, with multi-language and multi-device access, with no user limits based on cost.

How does Bankinplay guarantee the security of a company's banking and financial data?

Bankinplay prioritises data security with the highest standards. It is a 100% cloud-based solution, allowing access from anywhere in the world with protected communications and data. In addition, it has backup copies in different geographical locations to safeguard information. It is important to note that Bankinplay never stores users' bank access codes; instead, the system generates a code that is valid for 90 days to download transaction files, and always operates under regulations such as PSD2, which may involve additional verifications directly with the bank. Bankinplay only has access to retrieve transactions, never to create, modify or issue payment orders.

What additional modules does Bankinplay offer beyond basic banking communication?

Bankinplay offers a series of modules that extend its functionality, building on the mandatory Banking Communications module:

  • Automatic Accounting: Enables direct accounting of bank transactions (commissions, transfers, taxes) with connection to the ERP accounting plan and customisable rules.
  • Third-Party Module: Reconcile bank, card, and POS payments and collections with invoices issued and received, managing remittances, intra-group transactions, advances, and detecting duplicates.
  • Bank Reconciliation Module: Performs continuous reconciliation of bank ledgers with banks, identifying and correcting errors in real time and generating audit reports.
  • Treasury Module: Generates short- and long-term cash flow reports, treasury budgets, future liquidity simulations, and helps optimise treasury peaks and financial costs.
