finban gives small and mid-sized companies a clear view of their financial future. The platform connects bank accounts (PSD2), accounting systems such as DATEV, Lexware Office and sevdesk, payment providers like Stripe and PayPal, CRM systems and spreadsheets — and consolidates them into a single, always-current liquidity plan.

What sets finban apart is how it handles data. Instead of forcing one source of truth, actuals from the bank, open receivables and payables from accounting, and forward-looking budget assumptions coexist side by side. As real payments come in, they replace the plan automatically. The result is a forecast that stays accurate without manual maintenance.

Built in Germany, finban today serves primarily the DACH market — with an integration and banking layer designed to extend across Europe and beyond. It's made for companies of up to around 100 employees: teams that need serious financial visibility but don't have a dedicated treasury department to produce it.
