Receipt Bank is dead easy. it’s the best option for efficiency and speed of reporting, allowing you to unlock financial insights fast.

Before using Receipt Bank, dealing with my expenses was a complete and utter nightmare! Being based in Switzerland, we really needed a system that could handle receipts that aren’t printed in English. In this regard, everything else we had tried had failed miserably! We do our own accounting and we have all kinds of papers floating in all the time. What we desperately needed was a system that could take all of the hassle out of dealing with this. We were losing receipts when travelling, having our suits dry cleaned with the bits of paper still in the pockets, and we just weren’t keeping track of things properly. As a result, we weren’t billing everything we could have. The really great thing about Receipt Bank is that it really doesn’t matter what format your receipts are in – paper or digital, whether it’s on your phone or in your email inbox – it all works so smoothly! It’s the little things that add up, and now all of those coffee receipts are accounted for. The Dropbox feature is amazing, and as the folder is shared, I know I can’t lose anything. Even my wife loves Receipt Bank – she looks over my shoulder when I’m using the iPhone app, and waits for the tell-tale rustling noise that confirms my item has been submitted. I love the system – and for what I am paying, I am more than happy.

Receipt Bank provides an exceptionally efficient way of turning my piles of paper receipts in to Excel friendly data that can also be exported on demand to FreshBooks – this in turn feeds directly to my bookkeeper and accountants. With the quantities of receipts being issued, previous expenses claims were slapdash and infrequent, Receipt Bank ensures that everyone gets things in on time and we can be assured there have been no typo’s. It saved me time, effort and but more importantly freed me up to get on with things that really matter – it has allowed me another hour a month to focus on earning and not spending or spending time with my family! My bookkeeper loves the VAT breakdown and the integration with FreshBooks allows me to click and forget. I would recommend the service to anyone and hope that more use Receipt Bank allowing them to expand their paper removing, time-saving awesomeness.

Not just that, it also captures those things in a digital format so you never lose papers again. The efficiencies that Receipt Bank drives in regards to data entry also assists with internal administrative tasks.

The hours that Receipt Bank saves us mean we have more time to engage with our clients' issues and help them achieve their ambitions.

My Receipt Bank experience has simply been great. I link my account to Xero, and I have absolutely no complaints with either system. My accountant was using Xero, and I knew I wanted to get up and running with a system that could allow my expenses to flow seamlessly into my Xero account. I had encountered similar products in the US, and I did a lot of research before deciding on Receipt Bank. I’m so glad I did! Before using Xero and Receipt Bank I just kind of wasn’t dealing with my expenses. It really is one of those things that continues to add up. Unless you have a decent way of sorting it, the whole thing doesn’t really seem worth it. This was the predicament I was in! I realised I could claim a lot more than I was, but my receipts were literally building up, and I wasn’t sure what to do with them. Now that I use the service, all that hassle and worry is gone! The customer support has been truly amazing. Any query I've had has been dealt with wonderfully. It has honestly been the most enthusiastic service I’ve come across! And the system continues to impress. I travel to Turkey a lot, and it has been able to handle Turkish Lira – and all other currencies I’ve thrown at it – flawlessly! I’ve basically been given a really easy way that I can expense more to my business. It really was a pain, and now it’s a breeze.

My perception has changed. Receipt Bank has a broad spectrum of businesses that it is very suitable for. No matter what the size of the business, it still eliminates the necessity of someone sitting and typing it all in.

As a film development company, business can be quiet for weeks or months, and then explode into weeks of madness in which we are suddenly handling the expenses of fifty or more people. We never had one set way of dealing with this fluctuation. Sometimes we would hire an accountant and come to an agreement on price, or hire an admin person on a daily rate during a busy period. Occasionally I would manage the task personally, although I admit that data entry is not my favourite thing! We would spend a long time procrastinating, and then the task itself was even more time-consuming. Whoever came up with Receipt Bank is a genius! We needed to find a more affordable solution, and when I first stumbled across the company I thought 'no – I can't believe it!' I tried it out and the rest is history! The iPhone app is definitely my favourite feature of Receipt Bank. To take photos of receipts on the go is such a nice thing, and I find the idea of getting rid of a piece of paper straight away so liberating! Receipt Bank has freed up two big things for us – pressure and time. As a small company we have no big budget for expenses handling, and this used to take 10, or maybe even 50 times longer than it does now. We have been given complete peace of mind.

We’ve reduced something that used to take 28 hours to 6-10 hours. During end of year we’re saving 50% of our time compared to before.

The only word I can use to describe the way we used to deal with our expenses, is ‘badly’. We never really did anything with them; they simply stagnated and piled up. We needed more control over our own accounts and after our accountant introduced us to FreeAgent, we also found Receipt Bank through their website. To be honest I was surprised to find that Receipt Bank does as much as it does! I am truly awful at admin work, and it isn’t something I enjoy, so being able to stuff my receipts straight in a bag and get rid of them is perfect! When you are trying to run a business and do billable work, it is truly an enormous help. Using Receipt Bank and FreeAgent saves me time every week, but it’s the confidence that everything is there, exactly where it should be, that I really care about. I know that I can access any expenses straight away, whenever I need to. We recently had a VAT inspection, and the VAT officer was seriously impressed! Our financials are no longer a distraction. The biggest benefit to us has, without doubt, been that we can now simply focus on what matters.

Before using Receipt Bank, my accountant would insist I keep all of my expenses in a spreadsheet. I had receipts stuffed in envelopes around the house and would reference everything manually, then cross-reference, and then enter all of the data myself. Even then, there were errors – my system was iffy, not to mention incredibly difficult to manage. I went on to use FreeAgent, which is truly great! It allows me to see more information, regain more control, and even generates invoices for me! Discovering Receipt Bank has just streamlined everything even further. Gone are the days of manually tallying up my expenses! Now all of our receipts come to us. Receipts for hotels, lunches, coffees, are sent straight off, and any invoices for software bought online are popped straight into Dropbox and forgotten about. It’s absolutely brilliant! The thing that really sold Receipt Bank for me was the variety of submission methods. Fiddly bits of paper as well as electronic receipts are no longer a problem. They are always in both Receipt Bank and FreeAgent, and the search function allows me to find them in an instant. The time and effort saved is the biggest change I’ve seen – it’s just made life that little bit easier.

Taking care of our expenses and getting receipts and invoices to our bookkeeper used to be really fragmented – the problems were not only the time it would take to do it, but just to remember to do it at all! The bookkeeper has all this work to do at the end of the month - with payroll on top as well. It was just a headache. Receipt Bank has such a low barrier to entry. Lots of our work involves commuting and travelling to different clients – we're not really in the office very often. If we don’t capture the expense immediately, it gets lost or processed much later. Receipt Bank just sits in the background – you barely even know it’s there - the biggest compliment I can give to a piece of software! You just pull your phone out and take a photo. It’s removed the process from our brains – saving mental energy. In real terms it’s saved maybe half an hour a week per person. I can’t really measure it financially but I believe there’s an overhead saved in not even thinking about it. It’s a huge amount of time without even knowing it. Being able to select projects and clients to mark individual items is pretty handy for when we’re dealing with different clients. The convenience of the app is great, I thought we’d use the envelopes but using Receipt Bank on smartphone has totally streamlined the way we work.

We started using Receipt Bank and Xero in our first year of trading. I had spent the previous eight months diligently collecting my expenses and putting them in a shoebox, with the express intention of getting round to scanning in my huge pile and manually entering the data. Procrastination simply got the better of me, and I started browsing the Internet for a receipt scanning solution. What initially really impressed me was Receipt Bank’s ability to deal with my legacy receipts. I signed up for an Annual Plan and the service has always been brilliant. I love how intuitive the system is, and there has always been a member of the team available on Skype to answer any customer service queries I’ve had. The killer feature for me is simply the fact that I can get rid of all of that paper! I empty my pockets into a Receipt Bag, and once my items are processed, they are in Xero once I’ve hit a couple of buttons. Our overheads include a large number of digital invoices, so the extra option of being able to forward them straight on via email is perfect! I used to know contractors who had become so tired of recording small receipts, they had just given up. Now I just recommend Receipt Bank to them! The time it would previously take for me to manually type the data for a coffee receipt into Excel, simply wasn’t productive. Since using Receipt Bank with Xero, I must have saved thousands in effort and time. That’s what makes it so worthwhile.

For me it was We have X amount of work to do, and I physically can’t do it. Receipt Bank was my way of employing another person. Now, if one of my bookkeepers used to take ten hours to do a job, with Receipt Bank he can do it in six. We absorb that software cost but we make that up more than three or four times.
