TWT Banking

Your bank statement,matched to your invoices.

Banking for small and medium-sized businesses: bank statement, payment matching, open items and supplier payments in one place.

Upload the statement from your online banking, and payments are matched to their invoices and supplier invoices. See who still owes you, pay your suppliers by the discount deadline, and know at once when a supplier names a new bank account. Banking is part of TWT Accounting: in the browser, on the tablet and in the TWT Accounting app.

Why banking in TWT Accounting

Matched without typing, paid on the right day, safe from a changed bank account.

Matched without typing

Your bank statement finds its invoices and supplier invoices, and what stays open waits for your decision, not for a search.

Paid on the right day

The payment proposal knows the last day each supplier invoice can be paid without losing its cash discount.

Safe from a changed bank account

A supplier invoice naming a new bank account is flagged, and a payment run pays only bank accounts somebody has confirmed.

All 28 features in detail
  • DashboardDashboard

    What needs doing today and the figures behind it, cut to your package: invoices, supplier invoices awaiting approval, hours and projects, or the books. Plus a guided first-run checklist.

  • SalesE-Invoice

    E-invoices to the German standard: generate, convert, read and validate ZUGFeRD and XRechnung against EN 16931.

  • SalesCustomers

    Buyer master data including VAT ID, flowing straight into the e-invoice as BT-48.

  • PurchasingIncoming invoices

    Receive, check and approve your suppliers’ invoices — a photograph, a PDF or an XRechnung, all in the same inbox. Being able to receive them has been obligatory since 2025; issuing them only from 2027.

  • PurchasingSuppliers

    Your creditors with their account mapping and every bank account they have ever invoiced from — what makes the changed-IBAN warning possible.

  • AccountingAccounting settings

    Profit determination (balance sheet or EÜR), the VAT scheme (Soll- or Istversteuerung under § 20 UStG), the fiscal year and the chart of accounts. Set once, and every posting and report follows them.

  • AccountingChart of accounts

    The complete DATEV SKR03 and SKR04 chart of accounts. The revenue account you pick decides both the VAT rate and the EN 16931 category.

  • AccountingBookkeeping

    Every document becomes a double-entry booking. The VAT return, the open items list and a DATEV posting batch all fall out of the journal.

  • AccountingELSTER

    The advance VAT return and the income surplus calculation (Anlage EÜR with its asset register AVEÜR) from your bookings: calculated, checked twice and validated with ELSTER's own library, with the protocol and a complete history.

  • AccountingOpen Items

    Receivables and payables in one working list: filter the way accountants expect, spread one bank transfer across several invoices, offset credits, write off cent differences with the correct VAT adjustment.

  • AccountingPayments

    The payment proposal knows the last day a cash discount can still be taken; a selection becomes a payment run with separate approval and a SEPA file (pain.001) for your bank.

  • AccountingBanking

    Import CAMT.053, MT940 or CSV from your bank; a matching transaction marks the invoice paid and settles the booking behind it.

  • AccountingAssets

    Capitalise what you buy and let it depreciate itself. Straight line or declining, GWG and Sammelposten included, with the asset movement schedule your adviser asks for at year end.

  • AccountingCash book

    Cash recorded the way cash behaves: written forward, never edited, and never below zero. With cash counts and the cash report, and with bookkeeping one-click posting into the journal.

  • ReportsReports

    Business analysis (DATEV form 01), P&L/cash-basis, trial balance with account ledger, VAT return with box numbers, revenue, payment behaviour, order backlog, cash flow, cash discount and per-partner account statements — as CSV, PDF or print view.

  • DocumentsDocuments by email

    Your own address for supplier invoices. Hand it out, or forward your existing mailbox to it — what arrives is read, checked and approved like a document you uploaded. With a sender list, format and size limits, and a log that names the refused messages too, so no supplier is left sending into nothing.

  • AdministrationCompanies

    Full legal profile: register data, tax numbers, banking, branding and § 19 UStG small-business mode.

  • AdministrationUser Management

    Invitations, access levels, per-user permission overrides and ownership transfer.

  • AdministrationTax advisor

    Who, besides your own people, may reach your data. A practice asks, you decide, and you can withdraw the access at any time — your own users are untouched.

  • AdministrationImport data

    Switch without retyping: customers, suppliers, the catalogue and your open items from a CSV file, as sevdesk, Lexware Office, Papierkram and Excel export them. Semicolons, umlauts and German numbers are recognised and the columns map themselves — with a dry run first and all-or-nothing on the way in.

  • AdministrationTwo-factor requirement

    Whether a second factor stays voluntary, is required of everyone, or only of the access levels that can move money. Setting one up stays on each person’s own profile, and that page stays reachable so nobody is locked away from the requirement they have to meet.

  • AdministrationBilling

    Plan and single-module subscriptions paid by card — the payment itself switches the module on.

  • AdministrationTWT invoices

    Every invoice from TWT in one place, across all modules, with the payment status per module and each invoice as a PDF.

  • AdministrationCancellation

    Contract, end of term and cancellation in one place. Paid time stays usable to the end of the period, and the cancellation can be withdrawn until then.

  • AdministrationAudit Logs

    21 action types across 21 entity types, filterable and CSV-exportable, surviving deletion.

  • AdministrationGoBD export

    The tax-audit data handover: journal, booking lines, master data, documents, payments, assets and the hash-chained audit log in one ZIP with an index.xml that IDEA-style audit software imports directly.

  • AdministrationSupport

    Help from inside the product: ask a question, attach a screenshot, read the answer in the same thread. Each person sees only their own requests.

  • AdministrationNotifications

    Where the product writes to: e-mail, Telegram or WhatsApp — one set for the company, and one of their own for each person. With a test message, so a wrong number is caught at once instead of staying silent.

How it works

From the bank statement to the payment run

Real screens with example data: the bank of a heating and plumbing business in September, step by step.

The bank statement in the portal: twelve movements of August and September 2026, ten matched to their invoice or supplier invoice and confirmed, two open, the tax office and an insurance premium, each with Assign, and More for booking it to an account, splitting it or ignoring it.
Upload the statement from your online banking. Whatever the matcher is sure of is matched to its invoice or supplier invoice; you confirm, and the invoice is paid. The rest waits for your decision.

01 Bank statement

Payments matched to their documents.

  • CAMT.053, MT940 and CSV
  • Customer payments and supplier payments alike
  • Assign by hand what stays open
Open items in the portal: receivables and payables with their totals, one invoice 73 days overdue with €417.57, and the ageing of both sides from not due to over 90 days.
Receivables and payables in one list, with their age from not yet due to over 90 days. One transfer can settle several invoices at once.

02 Open items

What the bank settled, and what is still open.

  • Overdue items stand out
  • Credits from overpayments offset
  • Small differences written off with a booking
Incoming invoices: eight supplier e-invoices with number, date, due date, amount and status, one of them flagged by the intake.
E-invoices arrive by e-mail or upload, are checked against EN 16931 and go through approval. When a supplier suddenly names a different bank account, the invoice is flagged.

03 Before you pay

Supplier invoices checked before money leaves.

  • XRechnung and ZUGFeRD in one inbox
  • A warning on a new bank account
  • Paid only to confirmed accounts

Who it is for

For everyone who reads their bank statement against their invoices.

  • Trades

    Customer payments, material suppliers and the tax office on one statement, each movement in its place.

  • Service companies

    Who has paid and who has not, without going through the statement line by line.

  • Small and medium-sized businesses

    One person imports the statement, one confirms the payments, one approves the payment run.

  • Self-employed and freelancers

    Your own bank statement read and matched, without a spreadsheet beside it.

  • Working with a tax adviser

    Payments matched before your tax adviser asks, and the books handed over as a DATEV export.

Requirements

The rules for payments and books in view.

TWT Accounting supports you with the requirements for payments and bookkeeping in Germany.

Traceable

The GoBD require every step to be traceable. Every statement import, every match, every confirmation and every payment run is recorded in the activity log with the person and the time.

VAT on payment differences

A small difference written off corrects the VAT in proportion, as § 17 UStG requires, and the booking is locked at once.

E-invoice receipt

Since 2025 every business in Germany must be able to receive e-invoices. XRechnung and ZUGFeRD arrive in your inbox, checked against EN 16931.

Tax audit

The GoBD export gives the tax auditor your journal, your documents and your payments in the tax authority's own format, with its index.

Banking in TWT Accounting provides functions for proper bookkeeping. The tax obligations of your business remain yours; when in doubt, ask your tax adviser.

Payment and books The bank statement closes the invoice

Import what your online banking exports — CAMT.053, MT940 or a German CSV. A transaction whose amount and invoice number agree is matched automatically; confirming it marks the invoice paid and settles the booking behind it, which clears it from the open items.

  • No bank connection and no aggregator — you upload the file
  • Reference matching ignores separators: RE 2026-0006 and 20260006 both hit
  • Debits reconcile supplier payments the same way

  • From the trial balance straight into the account ledger of every posting
  • VAT return with the official form's box numbers — monthly or quarterly

Incoming invoices The obligation that already applies

Being able to receive e-invoices has been obligatory for every German business since January 2025 — issuing them only from 2027. It is also the side the market handles worst. Here every arriving invoice is read, checked and approved before anybody pays it.

  • A photograph, a PDF and an XRechnung all reach the same inbox
  • Checked against the official rule set, with a readable result
  • A warning when a supplier suddenly names a different IBAN
Incoming invoices: eight supplier e-invoices with number, date, due date, amount and status, one of them flagged by the intake.

Access Control A real ACL, not role labels

More than 130 permission keys, organised as a module → component → action tree. Every member starts with the rights of their role; on top of it you grant or withhold single rights for exactly that person, and a withheld right always wins.

  • One key gates the API, the menu and the route
  • Modules you cannot reach never ship their JavaScript
  • Changes apply on the user's very next navigation

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does TWT Banking cost?

There is no separate banking price. Banking is part of TWT Accounting, and the button on this page starts TWT Accounting with 30 days to test — cancel within them and you pay nothing; the pricing page shows its monthly price. Assembled on its own, banking would cost more than TWT Accounting, which also carries the bookkeeping and the reports.

How does my bank statement get in?

Export it from your online banking as CAMT.053, MT940 or CSV and upload it. Movements that are already there are skipped, so a statement uploaded twice counts once.

Does it connect to my bank directly?

Not yet. You upload the file your online banking exports. Automatic retrieval via FinTS is in preparation.

How does a payment find its invoice?

The matcher weighs the invoice number in the reference, the payer's IBAN or name, the amount and other references such as your customer number. A payment it is sure of is matched on its own; when two invoices fit equally well, it leaves the choice to you.

What happens when I confirm a payment?

The invoice counts as paid and the booking behind it is settled, so it leaves the open items. Money paid beyond the bill stays with the customer as a credit, to offset against another invoice or to record as refunded.

Can it pay my suppliers?

It prepares the payment. The payment proposal orders your open supplier invoices by the last day the cash discount still counts, your selection becomes a payment run, and once somebody with the right approves it, the run is exported as a SEPA file (pain.001) for you to upload to your online banking.

How does it protect me from a changed bank account?

When a supplier invoice names a bank account not known for that supplier, the intake flags it. A payment run pays only confirmed bank accounts, and a supplier with a payment block is not paid at all.

Can I decide who may do what?

Yes. Importing statements, matching payments and approving a payment run are separate rights, granted or withheld for each person.

Ready to match your bank statement?

Banking comes with TWT Accounting: 30 days to test — cancel within them and you pay nothing. Then cancel monthly, with no setup fee. Your data stays on our own servers in Germany.
