Ponto as bank synchronization provider¶

Ponto is a service that allows companies and professionals to aggregate their accounts in one place and directly see all their transactions within one app. It is a third-party solution that is continuously expanding the number of bank institutions that can be synchronized with Flectra.

Flectra can synchronize directly with your bank to get all bank statements imported automatically into your database.

Ponto is a paid third-party provider that can handle the synchronization between your bank accounts and Flectra. Its pricing is 4€/month per account/integration.

FAQ¶

After my synchronization, no account appears¶

You selected an institution from the list and did not authorize any accounts from this institution.

I have an error about that my authorization has expired¶

Every 3 months (90 days) you must re-authorize the connection between your bank account and Ponto. This must be done from the Ponto website. If you do not do this, the synchronization will stop for these accounts.

I have some errors with my beta institution¶

Ponto provides institutions in beta, these institutions are not directly supported by Flectra and we advise you to contact Ponto directly.

Important

Using an institution in beta is beneficial for Ponto, it allows them to have real feedback on the connection with the institution.
