Business Central Integration with Live Bank Feeds: A 2025 Guide for UK Finance Teams

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a powerful ERP platform, but it is widely adopted by growing UK businesses for its flexibility in managing finance, operations, and reporting. But when it comes to live banking data, most users run into a major gap.

Business Central integration doesn’t automatically include access to live bank feeds. Instead, many users rely on manual CSV imports, legacy connectors, or third-party plug-ins that don’t support UK Open Banking APIs. This creates delays, extra reconciliation steps, and a lack of confidence in the numbers.

Here’s where the friction lies:

1. No Native Live Bank Feeds

While Business Central is powerful, it doesn’t come with built-in support for live bank feeds from UK banks. Without a direct Open Banking connection, financial data is often updated only after manual uploads, making real-time cash visibility nearly impossible.

2. Manual Processes = Slower Decisions

Every time a finance team has to download and upload a bank statement, it interrupts workflow and slows down decision-making. For firms managing multiple accounts or high transaction volumes, this can mean daily reconciliation delays and reporting gaps.

3. Limited Support for Microsoft Dynamics Integration with Banking APIs

Business Central offers solid API access for data entry, but it doesn’t natively connect to UK banking APIs. So while you can push data into the platform, Microsoft Dynamics integration with your banking infrastructure still requires external support, and that’s where Open Banking comes in.

4. Missed Opportunity for Accounting System Automation

Without real-time feeds, businesses miss out on automating bank reconciliation, payment matching, and cash reporting. Accounting system automation becomes limited when bank data is always a day or two behind.

If you’re using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and searching for live bank feed integrations, you’re likely fed up with delays, manual statement imports, and blind spots in cash visibility.

The good news?

Open Banking integrations are possible, Here’s how teams are making it work, and how Finexer enables a cleaner, faster integration.
