Deposits are currently reported in the account report. Each deposit is reported as one or more items in the file. The payments are sorted in sections that correspond to each deposit made into the bank account. There is a specific deposit item for each deposit. Separate deposit items are also created for example, intra-group and internal state payments.

The deposit item can therefore be reconciled with the deposit in the account report. Deposit items are created in the currency SEK.

No, Bankgirot does not offer an archive solution for Bankgiro Receivables. However, all reporting is electronic and is delivered in a file, which means that you can archive the reports electronically yourself.

Not for customers with Bankgiro Receivables. Reporting is available using the collected file format combined with Deposit information via the internet or image file.

The image file is a separate file that contains notification images of all paper-based payments (except OCR payments). This is a complement to the BgMax file, and is used by the company to see the payer’s written messages. If the company has not selected image files, all payments are reported in the Deposit information via the internet. 

The product meets the needs of both smaller and larger companies. In its simplest form, the company uses just one bankgiro number as a payment address for receivables and a simple piece of software which makes the information easy to read on-screen or to print out in a list.

As the company grows, the product can be expanded in stages. Electronic accounting is created from day one, and means that the company immediately notices that it gains control over its receivables.

The optional functions OCR control, extended form registration and image file allow for smoother reconciliation and control of the company’s receivables.
