Quick and easy via our DATEV integration!
Under the Payment Services Directive II (PSD2), you can grant access to third-party applications to your transaction data.
To do this for your Finom transaction data, you’ll first need to register for your SolarisBank credentials to “claim” your bank account.
Once you’ve completed this registration, you can use your credentials to connect to many third-party applications and accounting tools.
The whole process should take about 15-20 minutes. You’ll need to know your Finom IBAN and have your registered mobile phone to hand. Follow the steps below to connect your account with DATEV:
Set up my.solarisbank.de credentials.
Connect your Finom account with DATEV & initiate the sync of your transactions.
Set up my.solarisbank credentials.
First, open the website https://my.solarisbank.de/portal
You can view the webpage in German and English. To switch languages, select the abbreviation DE for German or EN for English in the top right corner of the page. You will be able to change the language during each step of the registration process without losing any progress.
To start the registration process, click the “Register” button.
On the following page, enter your email and your phone number which shall be connected to the account. While the email will be used as your login, the phone number is required to contact you in case a password recovery is needed. Make sure to enter the phone number in its international format (e.g., +491234567890 for the German phone number 01234567890).
Upon successful completion and clicking the “Register” button, you will receive an email containing a temporary password, which you will need to move forward with your registration.
In case you did not receive an email, check your spam folder. As soon as you have access to the mail, click the “Log in” button or the link in the email, followed by a click on “Log in” on the following page.
Enter your email and the password you have just received, then click the “Log in” button to confirm.
On the next page, enter a new password that matches the security guidelines mentioned.
Afterward, you’ll be asked to add your Finom account to your my.Solaris account. Enter the account’s IBAN and the telephone number corresponding to the account and click “Continue”.
You’ll receive a six-digit TAN code via SMS to your entered phone number, which you’ll have to enter on the next page. It may take several minutes to receive the SMS.
Next, you need to prove that you have access to the bank account you want to connect. Log into your Finom account. Your transaction list for the account you are trying to connect will show a 0,00 EUR transaction from my.Solarisbank. Click the transaction to show the details.
Enter the verification code on the my.Solarisbank website and click “Continue”.
Done! The account has been added successfully. Repeat this step for all other relevant accounts by clicking the button “Link a new bank account to my.Solaris”.
