Easier bank reconciliation across EveryAction reports

We’re making it easier for finance teams to match Bonterra Payments contributions to bank deposits. It starts with new fields in the Contribution Report, which are live now, and expands to the reconciliation and general ledger reports on Nov. 11.

Finance teams told us that reconciling meant exporting and hand-matching several reports, which makes month-end close and audits harder than they should be. We’re closing that gap in the reports you already use.

🔧 What’s changing

Now: The Contribution Report includes Net Amount, Processing Fees, and Estimated Bank Arrival Date.
Nov. 11: The Reconciliation Report and the General Ledger Contributions and Adjustments reports add Date Sent to Bank, Batch Sent to Bank, Estimated Bank Arrival Date, Net Amount, and Processing Fees. Net Amount, Processing Fees, and Estimated Bank Arrival Date also appear on the Contribution Details page.

👥 Who it affects
Finance team admins at EveryAction and NGP VAN organizations processing contributions through Bonterra Payments. The new fields stay blank for other processors.

🎯 What it means for you
Reconcile to your bank statement with the reports you already know, and close the month and prepare for audits with less manual matching. You can schedule and export these reports like any other, and you don’t need elevated admin privileges.

🗓️ Timing
The Contribution Report fields are already live. We’re targeting Nov. 11 for the next phase. Each phase fills in data for at least the full calendar month of its release, so earlier contributions may show blank values.

✅ Do you need to do anything?
No action is required. The fields appear automatically in your existing reports.
