Initially, some manual entry is required to allow automation to know what to do. This takes about the same time as ordinary processing in any mainstream accounts package. Once you have completed around 2 months of bank data, it is then capable of processing thousands of lines of bank data in about 2 seconds. At least 95% of the data will be assigned, the remaining 5% needing programmed in. Next time you run the automation it will achieve 98%+ etc.
