Market Overview

The global Account Reconciliation Software market reached US$ XX million in 2021 and is expected to record significant growth by reaching up to US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Reconciliation is a process that involves comparing monthly statements from external sources like banks, financial institutions and credit card providers with internal financial data. The primary factor driving the global account reconciliation software market is growing standardized bank activities. It is owing to factors such as this software that help reduce risk, improve quality and save time through automated operations in accounting.

Market Dynamics

The Increasing application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in reconciliation software is a major market driver for the global Account Reconciliation Software market. However, high implementation costs could be a major market restraint.

Increasing application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in reconciliation software

Artificial intelligence is used in a variety of recon software and development projects. Various recon software producers, including Oracle Corporation, SAP SE, Fiserv and others, are incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence into developing their recon software models, creating a potential possibility for market growth. In addition, Reconciliation solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI) have emerged as a smart approach to streamline reconciliations. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning change how firms manage their end-to-end reconciliation processes.

Clients can get 99% real-time reconciliation with modern technological solutions like Ascent AutoRecon, a first-in-industry, easily configurable, AI-enabled solution. The reconciliation process aids financial services in increasing efficiency and value. For instance, In 2018, SAP SE released its SAP cash application, which improves reconciliation and cash flow management with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Furthermore, several merchants are incorporating artificial intelligence into reconciliation software to reduce human errors in the accounting process and increase the security of bank transactions.

Furthermore, AI enables merchants to have a deeper understanding of client transactions and aids in enhancing transaction visibility. As a result, the market has a lucrative opportunity in the forecast period. In addition, Using artificial intelligence to improve day-to-day financial procedures, including data entry, transaction categorization, reconciliation and analytics, can save companies a lot of money over time. Indeed, it is anticipated that implementing AI and robotic process automation (RPA) can save financial services costs by up to 80%.

High Implementation Cost

high implementation costs of this software are restraining the global account reconciliation software market. Some accounting software offers fewer features but at high prices. Some accounting software products are complicated and not user-friendly; thus, they do not fully enable users to use their keyboards. They can lack features, capabilities, expend abilities and compatibility. Customers will always have to invest in upgrading versions to get the features they want or switch to another provider. An On-premise ERP solution generally requires a larger up-front investment and a longer pay-back period before an organization would benefit from an ROI compared to the cloud platform.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The market for account reconciliation software had grown before 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is predicted to present the sector with hitherto unheard-of prospects during the projection period. Many banks and fintech companies used account reconciliation software before the epidemic to keep track of payments in their internal cash register and spot human errors. Another factor is driving the sector before the pandemic was the expanding need for banks and other financial institutions worldwide to improve their mistake-detection software.

However, the sudden lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak has shown positive market opportunities for the account reconciliation software market in the coming years. Furthermore, because of the outbreak of COVID-19, various industries have shifted to online platforms to reduce the transmission of the virus. In addition, due to the pandemic, a surge in e-commerce usage and online transactions worldwide is likely to present profitable prospects for the market.

The digital payments sector has seen a 30% drop in transaction value in the current COVID-19 situation. Recent data from the NPCI attested to a sharp decline in the months when lockdowns were implemented (primarily due to the impact on the travel, hospitality and retail sectors).

However, in such instances, the Indian government and regulators have encouraged digital payments such as National electronic funds transfer (NEFT), Immediate payment service (IMPS), UPI and others to prevent the use of physical currency, which carries a lower risk of COVID-19 transmission. Such efforts, combined with the liberalization of the economy, are evident in the rapid recovery of various digital payment systems on the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Thus growing digital payment system across the globe has created immense opportunities for account reconciliation software post-COVID-19.

Segment Analysis

The global Account Reconciliation Software market is classified based on type, application and region.

Increased volume of transactions and increased the need for automated financial reconciliation to avoid growing fraud

Over US$ 750 trillion in bank transactions is made via wire, ACH and checks yearly. Many of these payments take one to three days to clear and finance teams spend hours tracking them from initiation to approval to accounting and reporting. The essential activity in bank reconciliation is matching individual bank transactions (via statement or detailed activity report) against appropriate internal data (typically the GL) to assure that all data recorded by the bank is correct and accounted for in the business finance system. The procedure might be complex due to the number of bank accounts, diverse data sources (e.g., every bank statement format is slightly different), the volume of transactions and the inability to keep the reconciliation daily consistently. Other issues, such as using foreign currencies, check clearing, complex transaction linkages (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many) and exception management requirements, may develop in some circumstances. All the issues are addressed by account reconciliation software, which fully automates bank reconciliation operations, including the import and data matching process for bank account activity.

The reconciliation software supports the automation of the financial closing process, which is replaced by a centralized online system. Preparers can access real-time balances from a general ledger, carry over information and open items from previous periods and compare data from bank statements and invoices using the software. Many account reconciliation software packages have standardized templates for highlighting reconciliation data and a layer of automation for grabbing financial data from banks, general ledgers and other accounts.

The increased volume of transactions has only increased the need for automated financial reconciliation. Traditional, manual transaction matching and account reconciliation processes only produce erroneous financial reporting, resulting in non-compliance and fraud. According to studies, 88% of spreadsheets have errors. The migration to financial automation gives a more significant potential for financial services in an era of digital technology. While using spreadsheets alone may have been acceptable and feasible, the demand for financial software is growing rapidly. Accounting and financial professionals can focus on long-term growth strategies by moving away from manual operations.

Various banks have recently shifted to account reconciliation software for optimizing their operations. For instance, in 2021, Deutsche Bank has chosen SmartStream Technologies' Centre of Excellence to provide an off-site operations platform, including three services that will help the bank simplify, consolidate and lower the costs of its reconciliations environment. SmartStream will supply Deutsche Bank with three unique managed services resulting from the CoE: Reconciliations Production Support, On-Boarding and Operational Reconciliation Services. The new services will improve reconciliation processing by making it faster and less expensive. The complete service will be integrated progressively, with Deutsche Bank increasing efficiency and lowering costs through mutualization. A credit card is a frequent payment mechanism for corporations to pay invoices from their suppliers. Credit card reconciliation includes various corporate procedures, including sales, vendor payments and employee costs. It usually necessitates regular matching transactions on a company's credit card statements to the corresponding items on its internal ledgers.
