Inbox or snap, draft bill, you approve and pay, then it matches

Capture and approve a bill, then pay it from the same place. Move money between your own accounts the same way. The payment matches the bill, or pairs as a transfer, automatically.

Payments go through NZ open banking (Akahu). You authorise at your bank. Nightbooks does not store bank logins.

Status
