illion BankStatements BrokerFlow

Wednesday, 3 June 2020 by Anita Cossey

BrokerFlow takes the 'illion BankStatements' Bank enquiry and enables you to retrieve Bank Statements and data, previously collected by Brokers.

The 'Broker' accesses illion BankStatements (via a process external to finPOWER Connect) and provides you with the 'Document Id'. You then enter the Document Id within the BankStatements Enquiry and view the results without having to liaise with the Client via email or SMS, as this will have been completed for you.

Once you have received your API Key, enter it into the Credentials Page, API Key of your Cost Centre.
