Import/Export SMEs: Matching Multi-Bank Collections Cleanly

In the import/export world, payments rarely come from just one place. Buyers in different countries pay into different banks, currencies fluctuate, and settlement timing varies. For SMEs, this makes cash collection and reconciliation a daily puzzle — one where clarity can disappear quickly if each account is tracked separately.

Here’s how import/export businesses can keep multi-bank collections clean, synced, and reliable, without losing hours to spreadsheets.

1. The Challenge: Too Many Banks, Too Little Visibility

Many trading SMEs open multiple bank accounts to handle:

  • Different currencies (SGD, USD, CNY, EUR, etc.)
  • Local collections in key markets
  • Compliance or tax requirements across jurisdictions

The downside? Payment confirmations scatter across platforms, FX conversions delay balance updates, and reconciliation becomes guesswork. You might see money in the bank — but not know which invoice it belongs to.

2. Centralise All Bank Feeds in One Place

With ccMonet, multiple bank accounts — local or international — can feed into one unified ledger.
AI automatically:

  • Imports transaction data from each bank
  • Tags payments by source currency and client
  • Converts values using real-time FX rates for consistent reporting

That means you can finally see a complete cash position across all accounts, currencies, and markets — in one view.

3. Match Payments to Invoices Automatically

Manual matching is nearly impossible when invoices and bank statements come in different currencies or naming conventions.
ccMonet’s AI Reconciliation solves this by:

  • Matching payments to invoices using smart logic (amount, reference, customer pattern, and FX-adjusted value)
  • Detecting partial or combined payments automatically
  • Flagging unmatched or delayed transactions for follow-up

No more sorting by hand or guessing which USD payment came from which overseas buyer.

4. Handle Currency Differences Without Errors

Cross-border transactions often create small discrepancies due to FX differences or bank fees. ccMonet detects and records these automatically:

  • Adjusting entries for minor exchange differences
  • Tagging bank fees to the right expense accounts
  • Keeping invoice records balanced after conversion

This ensures your books reconcile exactly, even when payments arrive in fluctuating currencies.

5. Simplify Reporting for Finance and Management

Once data is standardised, ccMonet’s AI Insights gives business owners and accountants a unified dashboard showing:

  • Collections by market and currency
  • Outstanding receivables per region
  • Conversion impact on actual profits

Finance teams can download clean, consolidated reports without juggling multiple bank exports or manual FX calculations.
