When you sign up for Buzz, one of the first things we’ll ask you to do is connect your bank account.
It’s quick, secure, and one of the most important steps in getting your books sorted.
Here’s why it matters and exactly how to do it.
Why we ask you to connect your bank
1. Real-time income and expense tracking
When your transactions flow straight into Buzz, you don’t need to type them in or upload statements. Everything updates automatically.
2. Accurate tax estimates
The more complete your records are, the more accurate your tax forecast will be – so there are no surprises at year-end.
3. Less admin for you
No chasing receipts, no matching payments to invoices weeks later. Buzz does the heavy lifting in the background.
4. Reduced risk of mistakes
Manual data entry often leads to errors. Bank feeds pull in the right figures every time.
How bank connections work (and why it’s safe)
Buzz uses Open Banking, a UK-regulated system that lets you securely share your financial data with trusted providers.
- You log in via your bank’s own system – we never see your password.
- The connection is read-only – we can see transactions, but we can’t move your money.
- You can revoke access anytime.
How to connect your bank in Buzz
Step 1: Log into Buzz and go to Bank Connections.
Step 2: Select your bank from the list.
Step 3: You’ll be redirected to your bank’s secure login page.
Step 4: Approve the connection.
Step 5: Your transactions will start appearing in Buzz within minutes.
What happens next
Once connected, Buzz automatically:
- Categorises your transactions
- Matches income to invoices
- Tracks your expenses
- Updates your tax estimate
All without you lifting a finger.
Connecting your bank is the fastest way to get accurate, up-to-date accounts without the admin hassle. It’s secure, simple, and takes less than five minutes – but saves you hours every month.
