How do I 'connect my bank account'?

What is automated ‘rent tracking’?
A quick way to connect your bank so August can automatically show who’s paid, what’s due, and what’s late.

What does it do?
Securely links to your bank via Open Banking (read-only), pulls in rent transactions, and auto-matches them to the right tenancy. August doesn't hold money or charge fees for payments.

What’s the benefit?
You don't need spreadsheets. Instead you get a clear cashflow, due and late rent tenant notifications, and fewer mistakes.

How do I enable rent tracking?

• Open the Rent tracking card and tap Connect bank.

• Choose your bank and follow the secure consent flow.

• Select the account that receives rent.

• Confirm the tenancy, payer and rent details.

• Tap Finish to turn on tracking.

That’s it. August will start matching payments, pulling in up to two years of history and marking them Paid, Due, or Late.

Tip: If your bank isn’t listed, try searching its full name. You can add payments manually if needed. You can revoke or renew bank access at any time. Consent typically lasts 90 days.
