Set up Bank feeds in Sage 50 Accounts v26 and below
Description

You can use Bank feeds and Bank Feeds Rules to download your bank account transactions and post them automatically in Sage 50 Accounts. This reduces the time you spend entering transactions, simplifies your bank reconciliation and ensures your accounts are up to date and accurate.

We recommend you install the latest version of Sage 50 Accounts before setting up Bank feeds. 

NOTE: If you're using Sage 50 Accounts v27 or above, please refer to our guide to setting up Bank feeds in the latest version.

  2. Click Bank accounts, click the relevant bank record then click Bank feeds.

  4. If the Choose bank window appears, proceed to step 8.
  5. On the Welcome window, enter and confirm your email address.
  6. Click the Terms and Conditions check box then click Get Started.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the security check.
  8. On the choose bank window, from the list of banks select the required bank.
