Reducing the manual work between donations and Gift Aid records.

ClearGift is a finance-automation project designed to capture donation and payment data through Open Banking and support the reconciliation workflow required for Gift Aid administration.

The problem

Payment records and donor records do not always arrive neatly matched.

Manual reconciliation becomes time-consuming as donation volume grows, particularly when teams need to connect bank activity with donor information and Gift Aid records.

Kydos role

Workflow design and system integration.

Kydos connected the data flow using TrueLayer Open Banking, Make and ChurchSuite-oriented processes, with reconciliation logic designed around the Gift Aid administration workflow.

Workflow

Payment data becomes a structured reconciliation input.

The project is about reducing repetitive matching, not replacing the organisation's responsibility for accurate Gift Aid declarations and claims.

Capture

Open Banking provides transaction data from the authorised source.

Match

Workflow logic connects available payment context with donor records.

Review

Exceptions and uncertain matches remain visible rather than being silently forced.

Reconcile

The resulting record supports the organisation's Gift Aid administration process.

TrueLayer

Open Banking transaction access.

Make

Workflow orchestration and data movement.

ChurchSuite

Donor and church-management context in the reconciliation flow.

This case study describes an automation workflow. It does not imply endorsement or certification by HMRC or any banking provider.
