Financial reconciliation, particularly in payment processes, compares three sets of records: internal transaction logs, external data from payment partners, and the client’s bank account statement. NORBr simplifies automated payment reconciliation by managing the first two steps. It collects logs and partner data, then consolidates everything into a single, normalized file. This file includes amounts, fees, and other critical information from all partners, making it easier for clients to reconcile with their bank statements efficiently and accurately.
Automating payment reconciliation not only saves time but reduces errors and improves financial accuracy for companies managing large transaction volumes.
NORBr automation
NORBr’s solution is designed to create an exportable, customizable file that simplifies matching data with the client’s bank records, significantly reducing manual work and saving time.
Here’s how it works:
1. Automated data collection
NORBr automatically pulls settlement files from various Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and other financial partners. This centralization brings all your transaction data—from merchant accounts, fees, and individual transactions—into a unified space, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
2. Data normalization
The next step is data normalization, where all collected data is converted into a standardized format, regardless of its source. By standardizing formats, NORBr ensures consistency across multiple PSPs and systems, reducing data misalignment.
3. Automated transaction matching
NORBr employs sophisticated algorithms to match transactions with settlement records, using metadata like amounts, dates, and transaction IDs. This automated matching significantly reduces manual efforts, cuts down errors, and accelerates the reconciliation process.
4. Customizable reporting
NORBr allows users to generate tailored reconciliation reports. You can customize columns, date formats, and numerical values, and then export reports in various formats like CSV or PDF. This feature provides businesses with clear, insightful views of payments, discrepancies, and settlements over any given time period.
5. Dashboard with KPIs
The platform features a dynamic, customizable dashboard that offers real-time insights into key financial metrics. Businesses can track key performance indicators like unresolved discrepancies or transaction success rates, helping them stay on top of their financial operations.
6. Multi-currency support
For businesses dealing with international payments, NORBr’s solution simplifies multi-currency reconciliation. It can track payments across multiple currencies, ensuring seamless reconciliation for global transactions.
7. Scalability
