E-banking is a service that enables users to manage their finances and carry out banking transactions via the Internet. As a GIT specialized in accounting software, e-banking offers you strategic advantages, including bank import, invoice management and integration of standardized formats such as ISO 20022 or CAMT 54 and 53 banking reports.
But what does e-banking actually mean, and how is it integrated into accounting software?
Let's find out together.
The importance of Bank Import
For accounting software users, one of the most essential functions is bank import. Bank import enables account statements to be automatically transferred from the bank to the accounting software. This eliminates the need for manual input and reduces transcription errors, which is crucial for account reliability. Standardized formats such as CAMT 54 (account statement) or CAMT 53 (payment order report) facilitate this import by providing structured files that accounting software can easily interpret. They comply with ISO 20022, an international standard used in financial communications.
Invoice linking and automated reconciliation
Another major advantage of e-banking for companies is the ability to automate the reconciliation of invoices with payments received. When an invoice is paid, our accounting software is able to automatically match the payment with the invoice concerned. This is made possible by the detailed information contained in bank files, such as CAMT 54, which provides a detailed record of transactions.
With our accounting software, invoices can be linked optimally by invoice number or reference, enabling precise identification of the associated payments. This greatly simplifies accounting reconciliations and ensures smooth management of accounts receivable and payable.
Automated accounting entries
One of the great advantages of our accounting software is that you no longer need to generate entries manually. Thanks to e-banking and the import of bank statements, accounting entries are created automatically based on the transactions carried out. This automation guarantees high accuracy, eliminating the human errors that can occur during manual entry, while saving you precious time.
Banking connection
The connection between the accounting software and the bank must be made manually and securely. This is because the accounting software is not connected directly to the bank. Bank files must be exported from your banking software, then imported manually. This guarantees risk-free data transfer, thanks to the total decoupling of the bank and your PC.
Benefits for companies
We offer companies simplified and rapid management of their financial operations. Integration with our accounting software will enable you to :
- Save time on the day-to-day management of banking flows thanks to bank import.
- Reduce errors by linking invoices by number or reference and automated reconciliation

Conclusion
E-banking is not just a natural evolution of banking services, but a real lever for optimizing corporate accounting management. For companies using accounting software, e-banking is an invaluable asset. By automating processes such as bank import, automated invoice reconciliation and standardized reporting (CAMT 54/53), companies gain in efficiency and security. What's more, with our solutions, linking invoices by number or reference is simplified, and it will no longer be necessary to generate entries manually, reducing errors and repetitive tasks. The digital transformation of banks, supported by international standards such as ISO 20022, offers a promising future for financial and accounting managers.
