FinAPI

We integrated our banking features with FinAPI which is a premium ‘Banking as a Service’ platform provider.
FinAPI supports the PSD2 with its new release and provides secure input windows. You do not have to create your own account with FinAPI, the FinAPI account is created directly via zistemo. More information about the FinAPI terms and conditions can be reviewed at https://www.finapi.io/en/datenschutz/.

NOTE: FinAPI is only available in Germany and Austria.

on the next step, you should enter your bank information:

Then you can upload a CSV file with bank statements to import the data to this account. You can click “See a sample” to find out how these files should look like, or you can skip this step and upload CSV after account creation. (Download CSV File)

If you upload the CSV, then compare the zistemo statement fields with the fields (columns) in the uploaded file:

Next, review the statements which will be imported and click “Done”.

All these statements will now appear in the “Unexplained transactions” tab.

If you want to upload more statements, click “Refresh” and choose the CSV files.

How to explain “unexplained transactions”

By default, all newly uploaded bank statements appear in the “Unexplained transactions” tab. For “upgrading” them to “explained” transactions, you can allocate any of the following options:
– “payment for an expense”, “Other out”, “Private” transaction or “Transfer” from one account to another (if it’s about outcoming funds) OR

– “Payment for an invoice”, “Other in”, “Private”, “Transfer” from one account to another (if it’s about incoming funds).
