Reconcile the month, not the year

Any bank — import is column-mapped per format rather than per bank, and the mapping is saved for next time.

Yes — Banking ships in both the Desktop Suite and the Cloud Suite. The Desktop edition runs it against a local database on your own machine with the network unplugged; the Cloud edition runs it in the browser with roles, approvals and an audit trail over the same books. You choose the edition when you sign up, and the application is the same one either way.

Statement import, reconciliation, cheque printing. In practice that means import and match, narration intelligence and cheque printing — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.

It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. Banking reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.

Banking sits in the Finance group of the catalogue, alongside Accounts, GST, Billing & Invoicing, Expenses and Fixed Assets and 2 more. They are separate applications with their own screens, not modules of each other — but they share one database, so what you enter in any of them is immediately real to the rest.

On the Desktop edition, yes — completely. Banking runs against a database on your own machine, so it behaves identically with the network unplugged; only AI and billing reach out. On the Cloud edition it runs in the browser and needs a connection, with the POS till the one deliberate exception.

Not as a feature of this application, and we would rather say so than claim it. The AI surfaces in LekhaPro — Copilot, the CFO, the deterministic insight engines — read the data Banking produces, so its records inform them, but Banking itself is deliberately a plain, fast, keyboard-first application.

Any business running LekhaPro. Banking is part of the horizontal suite rather than a trade-specific pack, so it behaves the same whether you are a retailer, a distributor, a manufacturer or a services firm — the industry packs change the screens around it, not the application itself.

Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach Banking without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.

Banking is part of the suite, not a paid add-on billed per use. What your plan tier decides is reach and depth — how many devices connect, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on. The full accounting core is in every plan, including the entry tier.
