Uniqueness of the project
Millennium bcp’s M-Accountacy is the only service in Portugal that directly connects businesses and Accountants, digitally, within the guidelines of new openbanking / PSD2 policies. Within the Millennium bcp Business website, Businesses are able to sign up for the service and establish a direct connection with their accountant. From that moment on, the accountant, on the TOC online platform (certified accountant platform) is able to receive the company’s daily financial data, integrate account statements into the platform and benefit from automated financial reconciliation. The accountant, once completed the handling of the customers taxes, employee payroll and/or supplier payments, is able to submit all payments details through the same portal (customer’s account within Millennium bcp website. The company receives an alert for pending payments, and as a result can access its financial data (P&L) in one place.
