Bank Connectivity for Dynamics 365

How to choose bank connectivity for Dynamics 365

1. 1

   Write down your requirements before any demo

   List the specific bank connectivity outcomes you need — volumes, workflows, countries, systems in the loop — and rank them. Vendor demos are optimised to reframe your requirements around their strengths; a written list keeps the evaluation yours.

2. 2

   Verify Dynamics 365 integration depth, not existence

   Every vendor here “integrates with Dynamics 365” — the differences are in depth. Ask each to demo the integration against a realistic Dynamics 365 configuration: your entity structure, your fields, your transaction volumes, and what happens when a sync fails.

3. 3

   Check certification and marketplace status

   Look for Microsoft AppSource listing / ISV certification and a current listing on Microsoft AppSource. Certification doesn't guarantee fit, but it confirms the vendor keeps pace with Dynamics 365 releases — uncertified integrations are where upgrade breakage concentrates.

4. 4

   Reference-check companies that look like yours

   Ask for two reference customers on Dynamics 365 at your size and in your industry, and ask them what broke in the first year. Implementation quality varies more than product quality in the bank connectivity category.

5. 5

   Model total cost over three years

   Compare subscription plus implementation plus internal effort — not headline price. Bank connectivity for Dynamics 365 pricing models differ (per user, per volume, per entity), so normalise every quote to your actual usage before comparing.
