What Is a Bank Statement Matching Tool?
A bank statement matching tool automatically compares transactions from your bank statement against your expected payments (invoices, GL, or internal list) to:
- Identify matched transactions
- Flag unmatched payments
- Detect missing or duplicate transactions
- Highlight discrepancies (amount, date, reference)
- Generate reconciliation reports
