New Integration set to substantially improve client accounting across UK property industry

 
Press Release – UK property software company SME Professional is launching a new Open Banking integration as part of its award-winning property management platform, to be rolled out to both new and existing customers from January 2026.
The introduction of Open Banking technology, following 12 months of rigorous testing and approvals, is set to significantly enhance one of the most feature-rich property CRMs currently on the market.
 
The integration will improve client accounting within the industry, giving firms greater efficiency, visibility and control over client money. SME Professional was launched in 2011 by Manging Director Fraser Sutherland and Technical Director Robin Lyles. Welcoming the launch of Open Banking, Fraser Sutherland said: “Our new Open Banking integration is a gamechanger both for our property management platform and the wider industry. It provides a smarter and more efficient approach to client accounting which can lead to significant cost savings for all our clients.”
The new integration connects directly to a firm’s existing client bank accounts, providing transaction feeds, automated reconciliation, and greater accuracy across client money records. Crucially, property management firms migrating from accountancy systems that restrict users to provider-controlled client accounts can now retain their own established banking arrangements – maintaining full control while benefiting from modern Open Banking technology.
Designed around the practical demands of day-to-day operations, the system supports detailed client money tracking, automated postings, robust reporting, and sophisticated deposit scheme integrations, all delivered through a proven platform that integrates seamlessly with existing banking relationships.

Fraser Sutherland Managing Director of SME (Pictured)  added: “SME Professional reflects nearly two decades of experience developing advanced, cloud-based systems for property management firms. By introducing Open Banking, we’re extending an already mature and comprehensive platform with enhanced financial intelligence – without compromising control, compliance, or operational integrity.”
The SME Professional software platform delivers the full range of functionality required by multi-service agencies, with a strong emphasis on process-driven workflows. This approach has a proven track record of helping customers save both time and resources compared with alternative systems.
 

Andrew Stanton Analysis

Having met and spoken with Fraser recently I must admit I did not understand the huge amount of clients SME professional have and the huge amount of integrations that they have done over the yaers with many of my clients. I definitely would recommend that if you have never taken the time to look at what Fraser and his team does – you do so now it is pretty incredible and of course their latest Open Banking offering is exceptional (I have no financial or business connections with SME professional).
