Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) eliminates the classic small business headache of lost paper receipts and manual expense data entry. By providing intuitive mobile capture apps and dedicated email forwarding addresses, Dext allows business owners and employees to submit receipts the moment a transaction occurs.

Its machine learning OCR engine extracts key transaction details—including supplier names, invoice numbers, dates, line items, and sales tax breakdowns—with over 99% accuracy. Automated publishing rules then route the verified data straight into general ledgers such as Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage.

For accounting and bookkeeping practices, Dext Precision adds automated ledger auditing, scanning client books to flag duplicate invoices, missing tax codes, and unreconciled bank items before year-end taxes are filed.
