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 TaxDome?

TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.

TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.

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.

5.0

TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.

◆ Current state

TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.

◆ Where it's heading

After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.

◆ Prediction

More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
