Legacy KB ID: 5363

Question

How do I get a Bankdata license from my Reckon Accounts?

Answer

Go to bankdata.reckon.com and click on Activate and follow the prompts.

 

The Issue

A Bankdata record stores your bank and credit card account details and transmits the transaction information that is received from banks, credit card companies and Yodlee.

When you buy a BankData license for the first time a Bankdata record is created for you. 

You have a choice of 3 plans:

  • Lite ($3.00) – offers up to 100 transactions download per month;

  • Medium ($5.00) – offers up to 250 transactions download per month;

  • Advanced ($7.00) – offers up to 500 transactions download per month;
