Recital

What Recital does

Recital is an AI-powered financial operations platform that automates reconciliation, cash management, forecasting, and reporting for finance teams. The product connects to banks, payment service providers, fintech APIs, ERPs, databases, and file-based sources, normalizing fragmented transaction data into a unified ledger view. The company is headquartered in Dover, Delaware, with an additional office in Abuja, Nigeria, and describes its target market as spanning from 'Lagos to London.' Recital serves four primary segments: fintechs and digital finance companies, startups and growth-stage businesses, banks and financial institutions, and enterprise finance teams, addressing pain points such as delayed month-end close, duplicate payments, missing transactions, and revenue leakage estimated at up to 5% of business revenue from manual finance operations.

The core platform is built on a RESTful architecture with a JSON:API specification, exposing wallet, transfer, mandate, and webhook endpoints alongside AI-powered reconciliation agents capable of matching transactions even when unique IDs are absent. Supporting capabilities include 2-way and 3-way reconciliation, document-to-transaction matching, exception and chargeback management via machine learning, multi-currency and multi-entity ledgers, real-time cash position visibility, and predictive cash-flow analytics. Recital claims 5,000+ to 20,000+ pre-built connectors and most customers are fully operational within 2–4 weeks of implementation. The company has implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS) covering all employees, vendors, and third-party providers.

Recital operates a hybrid go-to-market motion. Enterprise customers receive custom annual subscriptions tailored to payment volume and financial architecture, while a managed reconciliation service is offered at $250/month, including AI agents, automated reconciliation, a dedicated account manager, and capacity for up to 100,000 transactions and 2 payment rails. Distribution is conducted through direct sales (Calendly-driven demos), a self-serve API for developers and startups, ERP-embedded data posting, and content-led demand generation including a live masterclass series, blog, resources hub, and Discord community. The company is privately held, founded by alumni of Goldman Sachs, Flutterwave, Loans2Go, and GTBank, with KPMG, Interswitch, Flutterwave, Paystack, and GTCO listed as core partners.
