Sage bank feeds FAQs

If you’re banking online then you can easily and securely make a connection between your bank and Sage Accounting – this is called a bank feed. Transactions will automatically import into Sage Accounting, doing all of your regular manual admin for you.

When you’ve connected to your bank feed, you can begin bank reconciliation.

  3. Activate the feed: Once activated, your bank transactions will flow into your accounts.
