Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Float in the DACH region?

Technically yes, but Float offers no DACH bank connections, no DATEV integration, and no German interface. For the DACH region, finban is the more natural choice.

Can I use finban with Xero or QuickBooks?

These integrations are not a focus for finban, as Xero and QuickBooks are rarely used in the DACH region. Float is the better choice for that.
