Bank connection authorizations

Authorization forms

The implementation of automatic payment transfers requires that the owner of the bank account authorises the Procountor service to carry out the data transfer operations necessary in the payment transfers.

The authorization is executed by the user filling out the authorization form and delivering it to the bank. Based on this authorisation, the bank provides the required identification codes and attaches the services to Procountor's bank identifiers. Accountor Finago has no access to the funds on customer companies' bank accounts, but acts as an intermediator of payment files between Procountor and the bank.

Filling out the authorization form

The authorization form is selected based on the bank that is used. Required information should be filled out and then the form can be printed and signed. After signing the form, it can be taken to the bank office or sent by an email mentioned in the form.

Bank connection authorization is a contract between the customer and the bank. Accountor Finago delivers the data but does not get specific information about the content or the mode of the bank authorization. Thus, any questions regarding the content or the mode of the authorization, should be assigned straight to the bank.

 

Information to be filled out

Our company/organisation

• Here you can fill in the company’s / organisation’s name, business identity code and bank account information. The IBAN bank-account number can be found/generated in Management> Company info > Bank account information. The IBAN bank account number is used in SEPA payment transfer, international payment transfer and Finvoice e-invoice transfer.

The periodicity of the account statement service

• In the account statement period, you can define how often the bank account statement date is retrieved from the the bank.
• Depending on the bank there can be several periodicity options to choose from.
• In order to keep your information always up-to-date, we recommend retrieving the account statement daily. When selecting the weekly or monthly statement, the accounting data in Procountor will be updated with a delay of a week or a month.

E-invoice agreements to apply

• The option will only be filled out if Finvoice e-invoice services are wanted to put in use. If the OpusCapita’s electronic invoice addresses are already in use, Finvoice e-invoice services are not needed, unless there is an intention to send electronic invoices to the customers. OpusCapita’s electronic invoice addresses are put in use by Procountor, and they do not require bank connection authorization.
• When services are applied, the bank will supply the required addresses for reception and/or sending of invoices. These addresses will be saved in Procountor in management > Company info > Electronic invoicing addresses.
• Sending Finnvoice e-invoices: order the sending address for e-invoices operated by the bank.
• Receiving Finvoice e-invoices: order the receiving address for e-invoices operated by the bank.
