Banking is where your real bank activity meets your books.
Import a statement
Banking → Reconcile. Upload your bank statement — 360books reads CSV, OFX/QFX and PDF files. It detects columns and dates automatically, and deduplicates so re-importing the same file won't create doubles.
Categorise & match
For each imported transaction you can:
- Categorise it — pick the account it belongs to (e.g. an expense), which creates the journal entry.
- Match it to an existing invoice or bill — e.g. a deposit that matches an open invoice records the payment and closes the invoice.
- Ignore it if it's not relevant.
360books suggests matches by amount and date, and you can Undo a categorisation or match at any time.
Bank rules
Banking → Rules. Create rules so recurring transactions categorise themselves — e.g. any description containing "VODACOM" → Telephone expense. Rules run first, so most of a statement can be one-click.
AI categorisation
For anything left uncategorised, click ✨ Suggest with AI — 360books proposes the right account for each line (rules always run first, so AI is only used where needed). It suggests; you review and post. You can also "Post + rule" to teach it for next time.
First-class bank accounts & reconciliation
Set an opening balance for each bank account, then use Banking → Reconcile to tick off cleared transactions against your bank statement balance. When the difference is zero, you've reconciled — and 360books keeps the history.
