Account statements

I am unable to see my account statements - no data is retrieved from my bank.

Account statements are provided by your bank - this must generally be set up separately by your bank. If your bank has not done so, BL Banking cannot provide you with statements. Please contact your bank. If you have general problems with your Internet connection this could also be the cause. In this case, please check your Internet connection. It may of course also be possible that your account simply has no posted transactions. Since transactions are generally only provided as an electronic account statement after the installation date, earlier transactions are generally not retrievable. When no transactions are posted, the bank transmits no data.

FAQ 86

While retrieving account statements the message Retrieval not possible appears.

Further in the message is says: No data can be retrieved from any bank as the authorization for this is missing.

Either the permission is really missing or another order type is used, e.g. C53 instead of STA.

You can check this yourself by double clicking on the bank under Jobs - Bank connections and then choosing User profile. There you can check in the Order types tab whether you have the permission for STA or C53.

If you have found out that a different order type for retrieving account statements was configured on the bank side, you can change the order type in the bank properties under Accounts statements.
