What Botkeeper is

It also supports close-task management, multiple entities, and audit trails. Auto Bank Rec is in beta. Security measures include SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation, two-factor authentication, and 256-bit encryption for data at rest and in transit. Support options include a knowledge base, live chat, Botkeeper University, and three support tiers. Botkeeper was founded in 2015.
