• Ability to change the base currency;
• Ability to change the category of individual items within the report;
• You can now create a unique name for a new report;
• More visibility from the archive over which items belong to an expense report;
• You can now navigate from an item to the expense report it belongs to;

Find out more about creating and using the new expense reports in our help centre.

Quick link in the receipt details page for unlinked payment methods*

Sometimes you need to publish items to locations in your accounting software that require the payment method to be linked to a bank account in Receipt Bank.

Rather than navigating to your account settings, you can now see from the receipt details page if your payment method needs to be linked. Even better, you can link it there and then!

Quick and easy receipt exports

We released an update to ensure smooth sailing when exporting your receipt data in bulk!

Downloads are now processed behind the scenes, so you can export up to 250 receipts in one go in no time at all!

Effortless connection to the mobile app

We released a handy tool to help improve your client’s experience when using Receipt Bank. If they navigate to the ‘Add items’ page, they can send a link straight to their smartphone to get connected on the mobile app in seconds.

This mobile update introduced some great new features for those snappin’ Receipts on an iOS device. These included:

• Enable ‘Save to gallery’, allowing you to keep a copy of each receipt and invoice you snap in your device gallery;
• Link to retake photos without needing to return to the inbox;
• Reduced storage demand for the in-app image cache, making sure the app takes up less space in your device’s storage;
• Improvements to the expense report image sync, so changes in the web app are instantly reflected on mobile;*
• Combine mode for iOS (see below)!

Combine mode now on iOS

We’re so excited about this update we feel it merits its own section!

Our mobile receipt scanner just became even more powerful! You can capture multi-page invoices, double-sided and long receipts using new Combine mode, now available for iOS and Android devices.

Simply take as many images as you need to capture the full receipt or invoice, and submit them as one item.

Mobile app for iOS - Version 3.6.1✝

A smaller update to provide key fixes for your clients receiving item messages on the mobile app. These included:

• Offline mode, so any messages sent when offline would send as soon as the device came back online;
• When accessing Item Messages from the notification centre, you can now see the receipt details alongside the sent message;
• Once the receipt has been archived, this fix ensures you can no longer send any messages.
