Bank Reconciliation 2.0

Reconciliation 2.0 is a redesigned reconciliation experience that reduces the time and manual effort required to complete your monthly close. It introduces intelligent transaction matching to automatically surface the items that need your attention — so you spend less time hunting for discrepancies and more time closing your books with confidence.

Reconcile using a bank statement upload, a live bank connection, or fully manually — whichever fits your process

Let the system automatically match transactions and flag the ones that need a closer look

The Triple-Tie Banner

The Match Confidence Tracker

The Match Drawer

Three reconciliation workflows: Match Assist, Bank Sync, and Manual

From the left navigation menu, go to Accounting → Bank Accounts

In the modal, select your Bank Account

Click Actions → Reconcile

Choose your workflow: Bank Sync, Match Assist – Upload a Statement, or proceed without selecting either for a manual reconciliation

Triple-Tie Banner — Pinned to the top of the page and remains visible as you scroll, so your reconciliation status is always in view

Match Confidence Tracker — Groups all transactions into three categories: Matched, Needs Review, and No Match

Transaction Table — Each row shows its match confidence status; click View to open the Match Drawer

Match Drawer — Shows transaction details, the matching logic used, and any suggested alternative matches

Rentvine ↔ Bank Toggle — Switch between your Rentvine ledger transactions and your bank statement or synced transactions

Edit Reconciliation Setup — Change your bank account or workflow at any time without leaving the page
​

Auto-Save — Your progress saves automatically as you work

Match Assist is designed for a once-monthly reconciliation. You upload a bank statement, and Rentvine handles the analysis and matching automatically.

Wait for analysis to complete

Start with No Match — These are your highest-priority items. They likely indicate a missing or incorrect entry in your ledger

Move to Needs Review — Click View to open the Match Drawer and select the correct match if needed

Spot-check Matched — These are high-confidence matches; a quick review is usually sufficient

Bank Sync connects your bank account through Plaid so transactions are pulled in automatically — at least every 24 hours, and more frequently for some banks.

Complete Plaid verification:

Once connected, your status will change to Connected. Wait for the Last Sync timestamp to appear — this confirms transactions have been pulled in and are ready for review.

Use the Match Confidence Tracker to prioritize your review

Focus first on No Match, then Needs Review

Click View to open the Match Drawer for any transaction that needs a closer look

If a transaction appears in your bank but not in Rentvine:

Go to the reconciliation page and select your Bank Account

Ensure Bank Sync is toggled OFF

Do not upload a statement — proceed directly to the transaction table

Using your bank statement as a reference, work through the Transaction Table and check off transactions as you verify them

Use the Rentvine ↔ Bank Toggle to switch between your ledger view and any previously uploaded or synced transactions as needed

As you clear transactions, monitor the Triple-Tie Banner at the top of the page — it will turn green when your ending balance, cleared balance, and adjusted cash balance are all in agreement

Click Reconcile to complete once balanced

Rentvine uses a two-step matching system to generate suggested matches:

The system first evaluates exact signals: amount, date, check number, and transaction type. When all signals align, confidence is high, and the match is reliable.

When rules-based logic alone isn't sufficient, a second layer evaluates description similarity and transaction patterns to suggest the most likely match and assign a confidence score.

If you encounter a transaction where the suggested match (or lack of match) doesn't look right, and you can't resolve it manually, please open a support ticket so our team can investigate.

To submit a ticket, include the following details:

Date

Amount

Description or reference number

Transaction type and which ledger it appears on

Uploading a statement for the wrong period

Forgetting to click Refresh Matches after adding a transaction to your ledger

Assuming Connected means transactions are already synced — always verify the Last Sync timestamp

Skipping No Match transactions — these are the most important items to resolve

Can I use Bank Sync and Match Assist at the same time?
No, you must choose one workflow per reconciliation session.
​

Can I reconcile monthly using Bank Sync?
Yes, transactions accumulate over time and will be ready when you're ready to reconcile.
​

Can I upload multiple statements for Match Assist?
No, Match Assist supports one statement per session.
​

Can I upload a statement just for record keeping?
Yes, when uploading, select Upload for Record Keeping.

How often does Bank Sync update?
At least every 24 hours; some banks update more frequently.
​

I connected my bank but don't see any transactions. What should I do?
​Wait for the Last Sync timestamp to appear; this'll confirm data has been pulled.
​

I selected the wrong bank account in Plaid. How do I fix it?

Can I still reconcile manually without using Bank Sync or Match Assist?
Yes, Toggle Bank Sync off and skip the statement upload. See the Manual Workflow section above for step-by-step instructions.

How does matching handle splits — for example, two Rentvine transactions matching a single bank transaction, or one bank transaction matching two Rentvine transactions?
Bank Sync and Match Assist both support many-to-one and one-to-many matching. When we're confident the transactions add up, we'll match the split for you. When we don't detect it, you can match it yourself:

Select View on the single transaction to open its side drawer, select the transactions that add up to it, then select Match.

Two things to know:

I'm trying to connect my bank through Plaid, and nothing happens. Could my security software be blocking it?
Yes, that's a common cause. Some security suites — Kaspersky, Norton, Bitdefender, and others — open banking sites in a protected or "safe" browser mode. That mode is designed to isolate financial sessions, and it can stop Plaid from completing the connection.

You don't need to turn off your protection. Try these in order:

If it's still not connecting, a browser extension, ad blocker, or VPN can also interfere. Try an incognito window or a different browser, and reach out to support if the problem continues.
