About Dext
Dext (formerly known as Receipt Bank) is a cloud-based software platform that automates bookkeeping and expense management for accountants, bookkeepers, and small businesses. Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Dext offers tools to capture and extract data from receipts, invoices, and bank statements, then publish that data directly into accounting systems such as Xero, QuickBooks Online, and Sage. Their main products include Dext Prepare (document and expense capture), Dext Precision (data quality and insights for accountants), and Dext Commerce (e‑commerce and sales channel data consolidation).
A Dext charge on your bank or card statement usually relates to a subscription for one of these products, either billed directly to a business or via an accounting/bookkeeping firm that manages your books. Charges may appear under descriptors such as “DEXT”, “DEXT*PREPARE”, “RECEIPT-BANK”, or similar, depending on when you signed up and your region. You might see recurring monthly or annual subscription fees, upgrade charges if you moved to a higher usage plan, or prorated charges if you changed plans mid-cycle. In some cases you may also see a small temporary authorization when you first add or update a card; this is typically reversed automatically and does not become a permanent charge.
If you’re unsure why you were billed by Dext, start by logging in at dext.com and checking your account’s Billing or Subscription section for invoices, plan details, and next payment dates. If you work with an accountant or bookkeeping firm, ask whether your Dext subscription is managed through their practice account, as they may be the ones who enrolled you. For unresolved questions, you can contact Dext support via the help widget inside the app or through the Support/Help Center on dext.com, providing a screenshot of the charge (including date, amount, and last four digits of the card). Common issues—such as duplicate accounts, forgotten trial sign-ups, or plan changes—are typically resolved by confirming which email address and business entity were used and adjusting or cancelling the relevant subscription as needed.
