Set up
-
Open Bank Feeds
Go to Settings, Integrations, then Bank Feeds, then Manage.
-
Connect a bank account
Press Connect a Bank Account. The Mono window opens.
-
Sign in to your bank
Pick your bank in the Mono window, sign in and approve access.
-
Wait for the first sync
The first sync reads back 30 days. New transactions then sync on a schedule and when Mono notifies Simplebks.
-
Reconcile
Lines appear in bank reconciliation, ready to match and confirm.
What moves
Sync
Scheduled sync, a Sync all action, a sync per connection, and a refresh when Mono sends a webhook.
Disconnect
Existing imported transactions are kept. Automatic syncing stops.
Limits and known issues
- Connecting and syncing need the Professional or Enterprise plan. A business that downgrades keeps its list and can disconnect, but nothing new is pulled in.
- Which banks can link depends on Mono, not on Simplebks.
- If a connection stops syncing, disconnect it and connect the bank again from the same screen.
Troubleshooting
| You see | Do this |
|---|---|
| Bank feeds via Mono are not yet enabled | The feature is not on for your account yet. Contact support. |
| Connect is blocked with an upgrade message | Bank feeds need the Professional or Enterprise plan. |
| No new lines | Press Sync on the connection, then check the bank is still linked. |
Security
What Simplebks stores and how you take it back.
- Simplebks never sees your bank password. You sign in inside Mono's window.
- The account link is encrypted. Your bank-feed account link is sealed at rest.
- Disconnect any time. Press Disconnect and confirm. Imported transactions stay.
Not supported yet
- Bank feeds from providers other than Mono.
- Initiating payments or transfers from Simplebks.
FAQ
What is Mono?
Mono is a Nigerian open banking service. You grant it access to read transactions, and it passes them to Simplebks.
Does Simplebks see my bank login?
No. You sign in inside the Mono window, not on a Simplebks page.
Can Simplebks move money from my account?
No. The connection only reads transactions.
What happens if I disconnect?
Transactions already imported are kept and syncing stops.
How is this different from the Gmail and Outlook import?
Bank feeds read your bank account directly. Gmail and Outlook read the alert emails your bank sends.
Start free and link your bank account.
