Can I link my bank and credit card accounts to SparkReceipt?

Yes. You can connect a US or Canadian bank or credit-card account so transactions import automatically (1 connection on Pro and 10 on Elite), or upload statements from any bank and have SparkReceipt extract and match the transactions.

Yes. SparkReceipt gives you two ways to get bank and credit-card transactions in, and both land in the same Transaction Manager where they're categorized and matched to your receipts:

Option 1: Connect the account

You can connect a bank or credit-card account so transactions import automatically, with no files to upload. You authorize the connection once through our bank-linking partners (Stripe Financial Connections for US banks, Plaid for Canadian banks and the wider bank search), and new transactions flow in on their own from then on.

  • Countries: banks in the United States and Canada. The My bank isn't listed option searches a second partner's list of banks in your account's country. Outside the US and Canada, bank connections generally aren't available.
  • Plans: the Free plan includes no bank connections, Pro includes 1 and Elite includes 10.
  • Who: connecting is done by an administrator or Accountant on the account.

For the full walkthrough, see Connect a bank account for automatic transaction imports. Payment apps such as Venmo, PayPal or Wise, POS systems and online stores can't be connected. See Which banks and apps can I connect to SparkReceipt?.

Option 2: Upload a statement

You can also upload a bank or credit-card statement as a PDF, CSV, or Excel file, and SparkReceipt extracts every transaction automatically. This works with any bank in any country, with no setup:

  1. In the web app sidebar, click Add documents and choose Bank or credit card statement.
  2. Upload the statement file.
  3. SparkReceipt extracts each transaction, so there's no manual entry.
  4. The transactions are matched against your existing receipts and invoices by date, amount, and merchant.

Which should I use?

Connect the accounts your bank and plan support for hands-off imports, and upload statements for anything else. If you both connect an account and upload a statement covering the same transactions, SparkReceipt detects the overlap and keeps a single copy.
