# Automating Bank Account Reconciliation

Retrieving bank transactions and automatic reconciliation can be automated with 365 business Banking. This enables regular updates of bank transactions and seamless integration into your financial processes. For each bank account, a job queue entry is created that regularly retrieves bank transactions, updates the payment reconciliation journal, and automatically reconciles the bank transactions.

<Callout type="tip" title="Good to know">
If the bank requires multi-factor authentication, the job queue entry will automatically pause to allow manual authentication. After successful authentication, the job queue entry can be resumed to continue automatically retrieving and reconciling bank transactions.<br/>
    Depending on the bank, the frequency of multi-factor authentication may vary, but it is generally between 130 and 190 days.
