Before you can upload bank transactions and link payments to invoices in Informer, you first need to create a bank account in the program.

Add a bank account

To create a bank account, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Settings in the left-hand menu;

  2. Choose Bank accounts and click on New;

  3. Enter the requested details;

    1. Choose the account type:

      1. Current account;

      2. Savings account;

      3. Credit card;

    2. If current account or savings account, enter an IBAN. If credit card, choose a card issuer:

      1. American Express;

      2. Visa;

      3. Mastercard;

    3. If current account or savings account is selected, the BIC will be filled in based on the IBAN.

    4. Under Description, give the bank account a name.

    5. Under Order, enter a number. This determines the order of your bank accounts on both the Dashboard and in Bank & Cash.

    6. Journal, Category, Journal debt collection underway & Journal payments underway are filled in automatically. Adjust if desired.

    7. Under Import bank files, choose the format used to import bank transactions. If you want to use an automatic connection, this option can be skipped.

  4. Save to create the bank account.

Note: To create a bank account, an IBAN number is required. If an account does not have an IBAN number, it is unfortunately not possible to create the bank account in Informer.


Do you bank with ING, KNAB, bunq or Rabobank? Then you can set up an automatic connection, even for savings accounts. With an automatic connection, bank transactions are automatically loaded without you having to do anything!

If you use another bank, you still can activate an automatic connection via Ponto.
