Meet the iBanFirst Claude MCP for Excel

The AI era of international finance starts here. The iBanFirst Claude MCP for Excel brings together your iBanFirst financial data, the intelligence of Claude and your favourite spreadsheet in a single workflow.

Your spreadsheets just got a lot smarter

Excel remains the tool finance teams rely on every day. But getting the right information into a spreadsheet still means exporting files, cleaning data and stitching everything together manually. The iBanFirst Claude MCP for Excel changes that. By securely connecting Claude to your iBanFirst account, you can interact with your international payments and treasury data directly from Excel, simply by asking.

Keep working in Excel

No need to switch between multiple platforms or learn a new reporting tool. Access your iBanFirst financial data directly from the spreadsheets your team already uses every day.

Reduce manual work

Populate workbooks, retrieve transaction history and generate reconciliation-ready tables in minutes instead of exporting files and manually formatting data.

Get answers instantly

Instead of navigating filters, reports or account statements, simply ask Claude. Find the information you need using natural language and receive immediate answers based on your iBanFirst data.

AI that fits the way finance teams work

The iBanFirst Claude MCP for Excel unlocks new ways to work with your iBanFirst data—reducing busywork, accelerating execution and enabling faster decision-making.

Refresh your treasury workbook

Your treasury workbook should always reflect your latest financial position—not yesterday's export. Ask Claude to update balances, account information or recent payment activity directly from your iBanFirst account. Your existing workbook is refreshed with the latest data, without the need to export files or manually copy information into Excel.

Ask. Don't search

Need to check how much cash you currently hold in USD? Looking for a payment made to a specific supplier or want to retrieve the details of an FX trade? Instead of applying filters or searching through transaction exports, simply ask Claude. It retrieves the relevant information from your iBanFirst account and gives you the answer in seconds.

Build reconciliation-ready datasets

Preparing for reconciliation often starts with exporting transactions and reformatting them before any real work can begin. Claude can retrieve payment history based on the criteria you specify, organise it into structured tables, rename columns, calculate totals and prepare the dataset in the format your team needs—ready for reconciliation, accounting or reporting.

Turn raw data into meaningful analysis, faster

Getting the data is only the beginning. Ask Claude to compare payment activity across periods, analyse cash positions by currency, create pivot tables or generate a management-ready summary. What once required multiple exports, formulas and manual analysis can now start with a simple prompt, helping you move from data to decisions much faster.

A partner you can trust

Secure and reliable above all
