Formerly Receipt Bank
HeyJerni vs Dext: receipts for your own tax return, not for a bookkeeping pipeline
Dext, formerly Receipt Bank, reads receipts for bookkeepers and pushes them into Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. Without a bookkeeper, that pipeline goes unused. HeyJerni is the one-person version: receipts read on your iPhone, kept for the ATO, never uploaded.
Which to pick
- Pick Dext if your accountant wants receipts flowing into Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, with line items and GST for BAS, bank feeds and several people on one account.
- Pick HeyJerni if you keep your own records for the ATO without a bookkeeper, and want them free and on your phone rather than in a business subscription.

Frequently asked questions
Is HeyJerni a Dext alternative?
For a sole trader or employee tracking their own deductible expenses, yes. For a business that needs receipts pushed into accounting software, no: that is what Dext is for, and HeyJerni does not connect to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks.
What happened to Receipt Bank?
Receipt Bank rebranded to Dext in 2021. The product is the same data-capture service.
Can I give HeyJerni records to my accountant?
Yes. The Accountant Pack holds a PDF summary, a CSV of every expense, the logbook of every trip and the original receipt images. The first export is free; after that it comes with monthly support. It does not sync into their software.
