ABRA Flexi offers bank account integration that lets you download statements automatically and regularly, directly into the application – with no need for manual downloading by the user. This article describes how to activate the integration, which banks are supported, and how much the service costs.
What the integration provides
Bank integration addresses one of the most common routine tasks in accounting – regularly downloading bank statements from online banking and importing them into ABRA Flexi.
Once you've set it up, you no longer need to worry about downloading statements manually. The system:
Downloads account transactions every hour throughout the day – giving you up-to-date information on incoming payments all day long (useful for communicating with clients or for quickly dispatching paid orders)
Passes imported transactions to the Bank register, where they can then be matched with documents
Enables automatic matching of incoming and outgoing payments with documents directly during transfer
The result is a faster closing process, less manual work, and an up-to-date view of cash flow directly in ABRA Flexi.
📝 Note: Automatic payment matching can be configured both as part of the integration (described below) and separately in ABRA Flexi – see the article Payment Matching (desktop), or in the web application.
Price of the integration
The integration is billed monthly for each account separately: 69 CZK excl. VAT / account / month.
To be able to use this feature, you need to have API Access active on your license. You can find the pricing terms for access in our price list.
Supported banks
Currently, within the standard price list, you can connect accounts with the following banks:
⚠️ Warning: FIO bank allows you to create one token per account. If you have multiple accounts with FIO (e.g. in different currencies), you need to generate a separate token for each one and set up the integration separately for each account in ABRA Flexi.
Communication between the bank and ABRA Flexi is handled by the integration platform Dativery, which also supports additional banks beyond the list above. If you use a different bank, check its availability directly on the Dativery website.
Once the integration is activated, you may also receive notification emails from the @dativery.com domain. These may include informational emails of lesser importance, but also, for example, error messages if any issues occur with your connection. Please pay attention to these notifications and, if needed, contact us via online chat or at podporaflexi@abra.eu.
How the integration works
Communication between the bank and ABRA Flexi is handled by the Dativery integration platform, which is directly linked to ABRA Flexi. All setup and management of the integration takes place in the interface available directly from the bank account detail in ABRA Flexi – you don't need to worry about separate registration or the technical details of data transfer.
Dativery connects to online banking automatically every hour throughout the day and imports transactions into the Bank register. After the first login to online banking, where you confirm access to the account (or enter the access token), downloading then runs automatically in the background.
⚠️ Warning: Komerční banka allows statements to be downloaded at most once every 61 minutes. The integration takes this limit into account and downloads statements at a slightly longer interval.
Setup in ABRA Flexi
You set up the integration directly in the bank account detail in the Bank Account List register (desktop / web application).
To access the settings, you need a user with access to the bank account list. The access level is defined by the user role.
💡 Tip: If you have multiple accounts in different currencies with the same bank, each account must be created in ABRA Flexi as a separate record with its own integration.
If you previously had an online integration active with Dativery, you need to set up a new one (precisely by configuring it in ABRA Flexi). The original integration cannot be "linked" or reactivated in ABRA Flexi in any way – a new one must be set up.
Step 1: Preparation on the bank's side
For selected banks, first prepare the access credentials you'll need in the wizard. Below, we'll use FIO bank as an example to show how to create a token.
In online banking, in the Settings → API section, generate a new token with View account only permission.
Detailed instructions for each bank can be found in the links below:
Step 2: Selecting the bank and format
In the bank account settings, first select the bank for which you want to activate automatic statement downloading.
Then, in the bank account detail, in the Electronic Banking → Statements section, select the value DATIVERY: Dativery - automatic online integration in the E-banking format for statements field.
After selecting the format, the Connect via Dativery button will appear in the Statements section. Clicking it opens the setup wizard directly on the Dativery platform in a new window.
Step 3: Wizard on the Dativery side
Follow the individual steps in the wizard:
Scenario information – an overview of how the integration works
Bank settings – selecting the specific bank and entering the token (FIO) or authorizing access via online banking (other banks)
Flow settings – configuring the transfer:
the type of bank document used to create payments
the target bank account in Flexi
the date from which payments should be transferred
the transaction currency
automatic payment matching settings (optional)
advanced settings (enabling this checkbox makes it possible to split payments by currency – for each currency and account, you can select an accounting template)
Activating the integration – saving the settings activates the integration and downloading begins
Step 4: Verification
Once the wizard is successfully completed, the information about the in-progress integration disappears from the bank account detail. Transactions will start appearing automatically in the Bank register at hourly intervals.
📝 Note: Until the setup finishes, the bank account detail displays the message "Bank integration in progress – The bank integration is being set up. Statements are not yet being downloaded." This message disappears automatically once activation is successful.
Editing the integration
In addition to creating a new integration, you can also edit an existing one. You can do this at any time by clicking the Edit integration button.
In the dropdown menu next to the button, you'll also find the option to pause or completely cancel the integration.
Automatic payment matching
In the Flow settings step of the Dativery wizard, you can enable automatic matching with documents to run after each transaction import. You can match:
Incoming payments – with issued invoices and credit notes for received invoices
Outgoing payments – with received invoices and credit notes for issued invoices
The default matching strategy requires both the variable symbol and the amount to match the document. If either value differs, the payment remains unmatched. Other matching strategies can also be configured in Dativery.
💡 Tip: A detailed description of payment matching options in ABRA Flexi (including configuration outside the Dativery scenario) can be found in the article Payment Matching.
Downloading historical payments
If you select a start date far in the past when activating the integration, the initial download of historical payments proceeds gradually in 7-day increments. In automatic mode, transferring one month's worth of data back takes approximately 4–5 hours.
If you want to catch up on history faster, you can repeatedly click the Transfer payments button in Dativery to advance the download in 7-day blocks.
⚠️ Warning: Some banks limit historical access. FIO bank only provides access to data for the last 90 days. If you need to transfer older transactions, you can temporarily enable extended access for the token in online banking – the restriction returns after 10 minutes.
Price list
Bank integration functionality is not included in the ABRA Flexi license and is billed separately based on the number of connected accounts.
Bank | Price per account / month |
FIO bank, Raiffeisenbank, ČSOB, Česká spořitelna, Komerční banka | 69 CZK excl. VAT |
📝 Note: We will gradually add more banks, payment gateways, and payment services based on customer demand.
Manual statement downloading
The bank integration described in this article represents the automatic method of downloading statements and requires a separate subscription. If you prefer free manual downloading, you can still use the original procedure:
Download the statement from online banking as a file.
Then import the file into ABRA Flexi using the Load Statements function in the Bank register.
You can find detailed instructions for each bank in the separate articles:
Raiffeisenbank
📝 Note: Manual downloading and integration via Dativery are independent of each other. They are not two ways of doing the same thing – the automatic Dativery integration runs as a separate service, while manual import is done exclusively via a locally downloaded file from the bank.
Working with data via REST API
Imported transactions are also available in ABRA Flexi via REST API by default – for example, for custom reporting, integration with other systems, or auditing. The procedure is described in the article Loading Bank Statements.
