Confirm and fix bank matches

Payfriend suggests matches between bank transactions and documents/invoices. Confirm, fix, or match manually — on desktop or with swipe.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

Under Bank, Payfriend continuously matches transactions to documents and invoices. High-confidence matches can run automatically. You confirm the rest.

Before you start

  • Bank connected and transactions fetching

  • Reconciliation start set (otherwise the queue is locked)

  • Documents/invoices exist, or you’re ready to upload them

Steps — desktop

1. Open Bank

Review unmatched / suggested matches.

2. Open a transaction

See amount, text, date, and suggested document/invoice.

3. Confirm the suggestion

If correct: Confirm / Reconcile.

4. Or fix the match

  • Pick a different document

  • Search by amount, supplier, or invoice number

  • Clear a wrong suggestion and match manually

  • Upload a missing document first if nothing exists

5. Handle specials

Several invoices on one deposit? See Split-match and partial payments.

Steps — mobile

Open the bank queue as a card stack. Swipe to confirm or postpone.

Check that it worked

  • Transaction moves to matched / reconciled

  • Bank badge count drops

  • (Optional) Accounting looks correct after sync
