What is TrueLayer?

Open banking infrastructure maturing into a merchant operations console

TrueLayer publishes a monthly changelog digest alongside individual change notes, so the same item often appears twice in the feed. The recent work is concentrated in Console rather than the payment APIs: a Payments Controller role, a mandates management tab, and a split of the product UI settings into separate configuration and customization tabs.

What is Kolleno?

Kolleno is stretching from collections software toward the whole cash cycle.

Kolleno ships a bundled monthly update for finance and accounts-receivable teams. Since the June rebuild of its AI Task Manager, most releases have refined that hub, while the newest update adds automated payment matching, AP portal tracking and early-access cash flow forecasting.

Open banking infrastructure maturing into a merchant operations console

◆ Current state

TrueLayer publishes a monthly changelog digest alongside individual change notes, so the same item often appears twice in the feed. The recent work is concentrated in Console rather than the payment APIs: a Payments Controller role, a mandates management tab, and a split of the product UI settings into separate configuration and customization tabs.

◆ Where it's heading

The payment rails are treated as settled; the effort has moved to who inside a merchant can operate them. Granular roles, mandate visibility and self-serve UI configuration are all about handing day-to-day control to finance and operations staff instead of the engineers who did the integration. The sweeping limit increase points the same direction — larger, more automated enterprise flows.

◆ Prediction

Expect the role model to keep subdividing, since Payments Controller was introduced as one named role rather than a permissions system. Further Console surfaces for refunds and payouts are the likely next additions.

6.3

Kolleno is stretching from collections software toward the whole cash cycle.

◆ Current state

Kolleno ships a bundled monthly update for finance and accounts-receivable teams. Since the June rebuild of its AI Task Manager, most releases have refined that hub, while the newest update adds automated payment matching, AP portal tracking and early-access cash flow forecasting.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving outward from chasing invoices into reconciliation and forecasting, the adjacent jobs a finance team does with the same data. The Task Manager remains the operational center, with each release adding controls, notifications and e-signature forms around it.

◆ Prediction

Cash flow forecasting is in early access, so the next updates will likely broaden it toward general availability and connect it to the payment-matching data shipped alongside it.
