Digits joins the Financial Data Exchange (FDX) to strengthen secure data access

At Digits, we have been strong and ongoing proponents of modern, secure connections between financial institutions. As part of our mission to give businesses real-time visibility into their finances, we believe in the need for common, open, interoperable standards for businesses to seamlessly transmit financial data.

Today, we’re excited to share that Digits has joined the Financial Data Exchange (FDX) as a full member of its consortium.

Enhancing the Security of Financial Standards

For many years, the lack of a secure communication standard between financial institutions has led to one-off data sharing arrangements, proprietary, incompatible APIs, and a veritable cottage-industry of “screen scraping” approaches — which have significant downsides in implementation cost, reliability, and of course data security. This has led to the formation of FDX, the leading nonprofit consortium that’s unifying the North American financial sector around a single, secure communication standard.

Drawing from our own rigorous security practices, we are excited to collaborate with other FDX members and share our techniques and learnings to drive further innovation in the industry.

A More Reliable Experience for Digits Customers

By contributing to and supporting secure communication standards, we also help guarantee the security and performance of our data integrations on behalf of our customers, including:

More secure direct banking access
Faster data syncs
More stable connections

More to Come

We’re looking forward to helping shape the next generation of transaction and authorization APIs that financial institutions use to securely interoperate. In parallel, we’re heads down gearing up for our next major launch this Fall. We can’t wait to share what’s behind the curtain when it’s time — stay tuned!

Digits Summer Upgrade

Before diving in, we wanted to take a moment to wish you and your family well during these challenging times. This has certainly been an atypical Summer by any measure, and we hope you’ve stayed safe and healthy throughout. To whatever extent possible, we also hope you’ve had an opportunity to enjoy the (socially-distanced) great outdoors, whether on a bike ride, a mountain hike, or a campfire under the stars. Best wishes to you — Team Digits

It’s been a busy summer at Digits, as we’ve been simultaneously laying the foundations for our next major launch as well as rolling out improvements to Digits based on customer feedback!

While the business climate continues to be challenging, we’ve been working hard to further scale our Early Access program and get more companies off our waitlist. We believe that every business owner deserves to have the real-time visibility, and powerful, actionable intelligence they need to overcome the current market dynamics, and we’re racing as quickly as we can to build out these functionality.

Power Users

This month, we focused on a slew of power-user features: we added multi-dimensional sorting and filtering capabilities to our expense Categories breakdown, we added a new Vendors section that provides an unprecedented (fully automated) analysis of your spend by vendor, and we simplified our dashboard navigation to make it even easier to deep-dive into your company’s finances.

Closed Books

We’ve also added support for closed periods, to let you see at-a-glance where your business’s financials are finalized, and where they may still be in flux. Whether you or your accountant prefers to set the closed date within your ledger (e.g. QuickBooks), or directly on Digits (just click the Settings icon), it’s seamless: all closed periods now display as locked in Digits, and your data is guaranteed to match your accounting software exactly. For current/unclosed periods, Digits applies its category classification and auto-reconciliation algorithms, so you have a real-time preview of what the month or quarter will look like, as it happens!

A Touch of Darkness

Our design team has been burning the midnight oil all Summer long, and that might have given them some ideas 😉 The Digits login screen now has a fresh coat of (dark) paint, and we were so pleased by the look that we’ve brought it to all of our signup and onboarding screens as well.

But the Best is Yet to Come…

Much of our work from this Summer remains under wraps 🙂 We’re incredibly excited to share what’s behind the curtain once it’s ready. Stay tuned for our next major announcement this Fall!

This month’s Upgrade is a BIG one. However, much is still under wraps, so stay tuned for more!

Digits May Upgrade

After two years of heavy development, we’ve announced Digits for Expenses! We couldn’t be more humbled by the support and excitement we’ve seen from countless business owners and accountants across the country and around the globe, and we’re working tirelessly to get them into our Early Access program.

Since our launch, we’ve also been solidifying Digits’ underlying financial engine. Businesses come in all shapes and sizes, so we need to be absolutely certain that Digits supports them all.

This month, our biggest upgrades focused on new technology to help ensure that our understanding and your understanding of your business’ financials are the same.

Automated P&L and Balance Sheet Validation

Data quality is at the heart of our mission to provide real-time visibility and actionable insights into how your business is spending money, and we’re constantly iterating on approaches to guarantee both precision and accuracy, while keeping your data private and secure.

Over the past month, we’ve built fully-automated validation using two of the three most common financial reports. Here’s how it works:

We first generate a full Profit & Loss Statement and a Balance Sheet report using Digits’ internal, proprietary representation of your company’s financials. We then export the same P&L and Balance Sheet from your ledger’s API, for each month of your company’s history. Our validation pipeline then automatically compares them—line by line—guaranteeing that Digits’ representation of your data is accurate and that you can trust the numbers we display.

Automated Regression Detection

While validation is critical for all historical data, it’s meaningless for real-time transactions that have not yet hit your ledger. That’s where Digits’ online classification engine comes in.

We are constantly iterating and improving our algorithms to give you even better real-time insights into spend (with correct categorization and vendor identification), and it’s critical that those improvements don’t unintentionally regress other data points.

Over the past month, we’ve architected and implemented an automated classification regression monitor, which continuously watches a large and growing set of known-correct transactions from our sample data, and then automatically alerts on any unexpected changes.

This is just the start, and we continue to invest heavily in data validation, and data quality assurance.

There’s lots more we’ve been working on, though…

Digits Launches Real-time Finance Dashboard for Businesses; Announces $22M Series B

We are obsessed with the vision that business finance should be immediately accessible and intuitive. It should learn, in real-time, as the business evolves, and it should empower business owners and operators everywhere, without requiring any prior financial training.

Why? Because today’s business climate requires you to take action in the moment and react rapidly to changing market conditions. That means not waiting weeks to receive a standard packet of black & white financials—which honestly can be quite difficult to interpret—and instead demanding the visibility and insight you need to make decisions, right now.

The Power of Digits

The world’s largest companies have sophisticated finance teams and internal forecasting models that give them these capabilities. What about everyone else? What if synthesized, actionable financial insights were available to every business on earth? What if they were always in real-time, and always up-to-date?

For two years, we’ve been building the technical infrastructure to make this a reality: N-dimensional transaction attribution. Auto-reconciliation. Predictive classification. Vendor identification and profile synthesis. Sub-second, full-ledger search. Statistical analysis and anomaly detection. Per-secret envelope encryption. The list goes on.

Introducing Digits, for Expenses

We’ve been humbled by the glowing feedback from our early customers and we’ve been inundated with requests for access. And, in these unprecedented times, we feel the obligation to help as many business owners as we can, as quickly as possible.

So today, we’re launching a broad early-access program for Digits for Expenses. We’ve taken all of the power of our platform and focused it specifically on helping business owners navigate today’s challenging market dynamics, so they can see and manage how their company is spending money:

Spend by category
Spend by category
Recurring expense detection
All your vendors identified
Powerful search, instant results
Real time alerts for your business

*Digits is a phenomenal and truly game-changing product. To be able to ask such a wide spectrum of financial questions and get to those answers immediately has been so empowering, and the team’s passion for the space is clear in all the small details.*

Thinking back to a finance world before Digits… feels like remembering Netflix as a DVD-by-mail service.

– Kenny Mendes, **Head of Finance, People, and Operations** Coda

Digits for Expenses is the first real-time, intuitively visual, machine-learned expense monitoring dashboard for small businesses, and in light of current conditions, we are making it Free.

(Seriously. We have other paid products on our roadmap, but Digits for Expenses is and will continue to be free for all small businesses. In this quarantine, it’s the least we can do.)

GV leads $22M Series B

As we’ve built Digits, we’ve been overwhelmed by the energy and excitement for our mission from founders, accountants, and investors alike, and we’ve been honored to have the financial backing of Benchmark and over 70 passionate angel investors.

We see this as a long-term, sustained effort, and Digits for Expenses is just the first chapter: we believe that innovations in technology, algorithms, and design have unlocked a new realm of possibility for financial software, and we are committed to making this vision a reality for businesses around the world.

In support of this, we’re excited to share that we have closed $22M in Series B funding, led by Jessica Verrilli at GV, and we’re thrilled to welcome her to our Board. Jessica’s deep experience in corporate development at Twitter and in early-stage investing through GV and #Angels have given her unique insight into the challenges small businesses face during their most-defining moments, and we’re looking forward to imbuing the product with her knowledge.

*Jeff and Wayne are masterful at creating intuitive, high-utility products from complicated data. I saw this up close with Crashlytics and Twitter, and I’m thrilled to partner with them on Digits as they reimagine financial software for startups.*

– Jessica Verrilli, **General Partner** GV

This round gives us the stability we need to become the partner that businesses can trust: at current burn, Digits’ runway now extends over 10 years.

$8+ Billion and counting…

When we announced our Series A in November, Digits’ production systems saw over $1.5 Billion in transaction value across our early customer base. Today, that number is already over $8 Billion, and growing daily.

Digits for Expenses is available today, for free, for US-based startups and small businesses. We plan to add support for international markets later this year.

Digits takes just a few clicks to set up, and sits on top of your existing ledger and your existing accountant’s work—you change nothing. Sign up here to get started.

(If you’re an investor, startup incubator, or accounting firm and want priority access for your portfolio companies, contact us at partnerships@digits.com.)

With Thanks,

As founders, we would like to thank the entire Digits team for their tireless work over the past two years to bring us to this point. We still see this as just the beginning of our Digits journey, and we look forward to building powerful tools to help businesses of every shape and size chart their course.

We can’t wait for you to experience Digits, and we can’t wait to hear what you think.
