Bank feeds have been around for a while as part of accounting software. But now you can use this technology to automate rent collection, simplify record keeping and track your expenses.
Bank feeds make it easier and faster for you to keep your rent statement up to date, you no longer have to find time to do account reconciliation yourself. We automatically import transactions from your bank directly into your myRent account, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
Why use it?
Use bank feeds to:
- Automatically track rent so that both you and your tenants are notified as soon as rent is collected and before arrears become an issue.
- Reduce time data entering and simplify record keeping as a lot of the work is done for you and the rest you can do on the fly even from your phone.
- Stay up-to-date. You’ll know when a tenant has paid you the moment it appears in your bank feed.
- Full visibility Every morning, when you log in you, can see all of the transactions.
- Keep your accountant happy. You have a lot less work to do comes tax time. Having all your transactions in one place, will help you or your accountant to prepare an end of the year accounts and submit tax returns.
How does it work?
Once your bank feed is connected, transactions will be sent into your myRent account regularly. How often your bank feeds are updated is dependent on your bank. It may be twice daily, daily or in other intervals.
Reconciling transactions is easy. We recognise rent transactions based on the reference used by your tenants and automatically reconcile them for you.
Recording other expenses is simple. Most of the information is already filled out for you from the data from the bank feed; you just need to categorise it. You can choose to ignore the transaction, edit the expense or delete it altogether. All reconciled transactions will appear in your Expenses Tracker.
You won't see myRent transactions in your list of items. All rent collected, advertising and management fees are added and reconciled by the software automatically. You can still find all of them in your Expenses Tracker section.
