BANKTRUST product guide

Learn how BANKTRUST converts PDF bank statements into reconciled exports and reviewed accounting workflows for bookkeepers, accountants, and finance teams.

1

Upload a PDF statement

Upload a bank statement PDF for a client. BANKTRUST extracts transaction data and statement metadata.

2

Review reconciliation

BANKTRUST checks the extracted transactions against the statement’s balance and variance signals.

3

Confirm trust status

Statements are classified as TRUSTED, REVIEW, or DRAFT so users know what can safely move forward.

4

Export or prepare accounting workflows

Eligible statements can be used for CSV, QBO, Xero CSV, and reviewed accounting-system workflows.

Getting started

Create a client, upload a PDF bank statement, and let BANKTRUST extract transactions and statement metadata. After processing, review the trust status, reconciliation result, transactions, and available export or accounting workflow actions.

Understanding TRUSTED, REVIEW, and DRAFT

BANKTRUST is reconciliation-first. A statement must pass verification checks before it is treated as ready for downstream accounting workflows.

TRUSTED

The statement passed BANKTRUST’s reconciliation checks. Balances, transaction totals, and blocking anomalies are clear.

REVIEW

The statement produced usable data but needs human review before downstream accounting work proceeds.

DRAFT

The statement is incomplete, unsupported, scanned, combined, or otherwise not reliable enough for trusted workflows.

Export formats

BANKTRUST supports structured exports for bookkeeping and accounting workflows, including CSV, QBO, and Xero CSV formats. Review outputs before importing them into accounting systems.

QuickBooks Online workflow

BANKTRUST connects to QuickBooks Online so users can prepare accounting workflows from reconciled bank statement data. The workflow is controlled by the statement trust gate, account mappings, and readiness checks.

  1. 1Connect a QuickBooks Online company.
  2. 2Load active QuickBooks accounts.
  3. 3Map the bank, expense, and income or clearing accounts.
  4. 4Open an eligible TRUSTED statement.
  5. 5Prepare a QuickBooks readiness workflow.
  6. 6Review candidates, blocked rows, and conflicts before accounting activity proceeds.

Blocked statements

BANKTRUST blocks statements from accounting workflows when the statement is unreconciled, unsupported, combined, incomplete, not a bank statement, has a non-zero variance, or requires review. This prevents uncertain data from moving forward as if it were verified.

Security and privacy

BANKTRUST stores uploaded statement data, client records, exports, mappings, and workflow records needed to provide the service. QuickBooks connection tokens are handled server-side and are not displayed in browser responses.
