Naqood November Updates - AI, Bank Rec Upgrades & Big Wins Ahead 🚀
Hi there,
November has been another packed month at Naqood, with major improvements across Bank Reconciliation, Payroll, AI features, and more. We’re also ending the month with some amazing achievements (more on that below 👀).
Here’s what’s new:
🏦 Bank Reconciliation, Smarter, Faster & More Accurate
We’ve continued to refine one of your favorite features:
AI Bank Reconciliation, Our new AI-powered engine helps categorize and match transactions more intelligently, reducing manual work even further.
Account-to-Account Matching, Bank Rec now recognizes internal transfers between your own accounts, making reconciliation much smoother.
Better Filtering, New filters help you quickly narrow down transactions, making it easier to find and fix anything that needs your attention.
