If you have already updated your plugin to version 2024.3.0.0 are already using this for some of your existing accounts, use this procedure to add and set up additional accounts to use bank feeds.&#x20;

## Setup Bank Accounts

To assign the newly created Bank Statement Import Format to a bank account, navigate to **Cash Management** → **Bank Accounts** and open a Bank Account.

Under the Transfer tab, set **SVB Bank Feed&#x20;**&#x66;rom the list for **Bank Statement Import Format**. You will need to repeat this for each bank account. Once done, you’re ready to import bank statements directly into the Bank Reconciliation module.

Bank Feeds allow you to import transactions into only one module: either the Bank Account Reconciliation module OR the Payment Reconciliation Journal, but not both. Please select the module that best suits your organization's workflow during the setup of your bank feed.

**NOTE:** You may notice that your bank accounts are listed as **Not Linked&#x20;**&#x77;ithin Business Central.

This is expected behavior. Because these bank feeds are provided through a custom integration rather than Business Central’s native offering, the native status indicator will not update. This does not affect the functionality of your import.
