QuickBooks is teaching its bank feed to show its work, not just its answers
Intuit's QuickBooks changelog is dominated by the new bank feed, where AI categorization and matching have moved from shipping predictions to qualifying them. Recent releases add confidence badges on suggested matches, warnings when a transaction looks like it should be matched rather than categorized, disambiguation among identical-amount transfers, and prediction of Class and Location fields that previously came in blank. Running in parallel, Classic Reports has been sunset in favour of Modern Reports.
Moov is filling in the payfac feature matrix, and now moves money on both US instant rails.
Moov ships every two to three weeks against a quarterly versioned API, with previews running ahead of each stable release. The recent work splits cleanly: acquiring features that merchants ask for by name — Google Pay, tipping presets, HSA/FSA/HRA card processing, credit card surcharging, user-defined amounts on payment links — and platform plumbing for the businesses embedding Moov, including resumable onboarding Drops, resolution links for failed verification, custom Dashboard roles, account connections with scoped visibility, and a client-side TypeScript SDK.

Running in parallel, Classic Reports has been sunset in favour of Modern Reports.
The bank feed is being rebuilt around a single idea: an accountant will not accept an automated suggestion they cannot assess. Every recent entry either extends what the model predicts or tells the user how much to trust it — badges that score each suggestion, warnings that flag the double-counting trap of categorizing something that should have been matched, and an option to hide AI explanations for people who found them noisy. Prediction coverage is expanding outward from the category field to From/To payees, Class, and Location, which are exactly the fields that make reports usable for departmental and job-level reporting.
Prediction has now reached most of the fields on a bank transaction while confidence scoring stays advisory, so the open question is whether Intuit lets high-confidence matches post automatically — some form of auto-accept threshold or bulk-approve-by-confidence is the natural next move.
Moov ships every two to three weeks against a quarterly versioned API, with previews running ahead of each stable release. The recent work splits cleanly: acquiring features that merchants ask for by name — Google Pay, tipping presets, HSA/FSA/HRA card processing, credit card surcharging, user-defined amounts on payment links — and platform plumbing for the businesses embedding Moov, including resumable onboarding Drops, resolution links for failed verification, custom Dashboard roles, account connections with scoped visibility, and a client-side TypeScript SDK.
Two arcs are running in parallel. The first is coverage: Moov is closing the gap on the payment methods and fee mechanics an established processor is expected to support, one release at a time, and instant payouts now reach both RTP and FedNow with the network chosen automatically. The second is that Moov is behaving less like an API and more like a platform its customers resell — connected accounts with scoped access, embeddable onboarding a merchant can resume and edit, fee-plan disclosure inside that flow. The API discipline underneath is unusually visible, with deprecations like taxAmount announced against a named version rather than dropped.
The v2026.10.00 preview is already published, so expect it to stabilize in the autumn window and carry more of the amountDetails consolidation that started with tax and surcharge fees. Given FedNow eligibility is now checked at bank-link time, more work on instant-rail routing and its failure modes is the likeliest follow-on.
