The above are all examples of bank rec software, Kyriba was selected over its competitors after a comprehensive vetting process. Kyriba has served us well, covering the bank rec process efficiently as well as being a one-stop-shop for treasury and banking-related functions for our group of companies.
This is useful software for large and/or international companies with complex banking activities and requirements. It requires significant investment in staff training and significant effort to implement.

Using Kyriba

4 - Finance (Treasury, Controller, Director, and Reconciliations)
Treasury- daily snapshots of cash positions across multiple entities, banks, currencies, and jurisdictions
Controller- by-exception reporting to provide daily list of transactions requiring ledger entry or other resolution
Director- single source of truth for all account signatory lists and bank accounts
Analyst- daily bank reconciliations
2 - Two individuals have the combination of skills (financial plus IT) to provide some in-house support with the remainder of the support requiring external involvement. A strong understanding of interbank reporting protocols (BAI, MT940) is helpful, as is experience with international project management.
  • Daily bank reconciliations
  • by-exception reporting
  • Signatory management (also enabling e.g. FBAR reporting/ regulatory compliance)
  • treasury management
  • payment processing
  • payment factory- allowing invoices approved in AP system to be automatically paid when due by appropriate payment type (BACS, SEPA, ACH)
  • FBAR reporting
  • income accounting- some incoming payments (non-AR) are routine and expected. we hope to be able to export a list of incoming payments from kyriba and import this into our ERP.
Very powerful treasury management tool, the reason it's not a 10 is implementation and support lags behind competitors. It can take a long time for issues to get resolved.
But once it's set up properly, everything works well most of the time. Few if any other providers will have the same range of features.
