Bank
The Bank module manages your business bank accounts, transactions, and reconciliation. Connect live bank feeds or use manual entry, import statements, and reconcile transactions to keep your books accurate.
Overview
Rebased provides a complete bank management system that works whether you have live bank feeds or prefer manual entry:
- Bank Accounts: Manage multiple accounts (checking, savings, credit cards)
- Live Bank Feeds: Automatic transaction syncing (requires subscription)
- Manual Entry: Create and manage accounts without live feeds
- Statement Import: Upload PDF statements for automatic transaction import
- Reconciliation: Match bank transactions to your ledger entries
Bank Accounts Dashboard
The main Bank page shows all your accounts at a glance:
Summary stats
At the top of the page:
- Total Balance: Sum across all active accounts
- Accounts: Count of active accounts (live feeds vs manual)
- Unreconciled: Total transactions waiting to be matched
Account cards
Each account displays:
- Account name and masked number (e.g., “ANZ Business •••• 7878”)
- Current balance (from live feed or manual entry)
- Unreconciled count (transactions awaiting matching)
- Account type indicator
Ready to set up
If you migrated from another accounting system and your Trial Balance included bank accounts, the Bank page may show Ready to Set Up (from Chart of Accounts).
These are bank accounts already created in your Chart of Accounts. Click Set Up Bank and choose:
- Connect live feed to sync transactions automatically.
- Use statement/manual import to upload statements or enter transactions manually.
Rebased keeps the imported opening balance on the existing Chart of Accounts account and links the Bank account to it.

Core workflow
1. Add a bank account

- Start recording transactions

2. Import transactions
Via live feed: Transactions sync automatically
Pending bank activity can appear in Bank Statements before it is ready to reconcile. These rows are labelled Pending at bank and move into the Reconcile workflow only after the bank posts the final transaction.
Your bank may also report a newer balance before all matching transaction rows are available through Open Banking. Feed Health may show this as Bank Updating; it usually resolves after the next sync or refresh.
Via statement import:
- Go to account → Bank Statements tab
- Upload PDF statement (max 5MB, 20 pages)
- Review automatically detected transactions
- Confirm import
3. Reconcile
- Open account → Reconcile tab
- Review suggested matches (AI confidence scoring)
- Confirm matches or create new transactions
- Attach receipts by dragging a PDF or image onto a transaction (or use Upload Receipt)
- Bulk reconcile high-confidence matches
- Clear all unreconciled transactions
AU-specific notes
- AU bank feeds: Powered by Open Banking (CDR) via Fiskil — requires Pro subscription. Up to 5 live bank connections included. 100+ banks supported.
- Pending bank activity: Some banks include pending transactions in the reported bank balance. Rebased shows them in Bank Statements but excludes them from Reconcile until settled.
- Bank Updating: A temporary live-feed state where the bank balance has updated before all matching transactions have arrived.
- GST on fees: Bank fees typically include GST — code appropriately
- BAS reporting: Reconciled transactions flow to BAS calculations
- Balance matching: Feed Health compares Rebased’s calculated balance with the bank-reported balance and guides any follow-up action
