# Banking overview

> How bank statements become Tally vouchers: upload, AI categorisation, review, Accounting Ready, sync.

The Banking module turns a bank statement into finished vouchers in Tally. You upload the statement, AI Accountant extracts and categorises every transaction and matches payments and receipts against open bills, you review the result, and you sync.

## Before you start

Sync your company first, so your masters, ledgers, and open bills and invoices come across from Tally. AI Accountant uses those open bills and invoices to match your payments and receipts automatically. Without them, there is nothing to match against.

## The bank ledger list

Click **Banking** in the left menu. Every bank and credit card ledger from your Tally company appears here, one per row.

| Column       | What it tells you                                                  |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Account Type | Bank or credit card.                                               |
| Bank         | The bank the ledger is mapped to.                                  |
| Unreconciled | How many extracted transactions are still waiting to be processed. |
| Action       | The upload icon, to upload a statement for that ledger.            |

## The two tabs inside a ledger

| Tab              | What it holds                                                                                                      |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Needs Review     | Every extracted transaction, with the predicted voucher type, ledger, and bill matches, waiting for you to verify. |
| Accounting Ready | Transactions you have reviewed and cleared. These are the vouchers that sync to Tally.                             |
