Anyone that formerly used Receipt Bank as part of their bookkeeping process may have been surprised by communications now coming through from Dext.
What is Dext?
Dext (Prepare) is just the new name for Receipt Bank. The software is available to use via web and app on a desktop or mobile device, and allows you to easily record and allocate expenses, and works seamlessly with software such as Xero, to ensure more accurate preparation of your accounts.
With Dext you can simply take a picture of your invoice or receipt, or forward emailed invoices to your unique Dext email address and the software takes care of the rest – no more manually entering invoices!
Dext works seamlessly with Xero, so if you are already using Xero, you can start using Dext for the preparation work of managing invoices and receipts.
At LWA, as Dext Partners, we can offer discounted subscriptions to our clients.
What has changed?
Only the name has changed. You can still use your existing login details to access the website platform and manage your expenses once you have:
- Taken a picture of your receipt / invoice using the app on your phone and allocated it to a category.
- Forwarded an invoice via email to your bespoke Receipt Bank email address.
You may have already noticed that the app on your phone has automatically updated itself to be called Dext.
I have never used my Receipt Bank app
