Ledgers Overview

Ledgers is a fully managed cloud database for recording financial transactions and balances.

Any software product that has to track the movement of value to and from user accounts needs a reliable system of record. Having an immutable, scalable, double-entry ledger is the gold standard for businesses with complex or high-velocity payment flows.

You can try Ledgers by signing up for a sandbox account and making calls to the Ledgers API. Ledgers can be used independently of other functionality in Modern Treasury such as Payments. If you also use Payments, Modern Treasury provides powerful links for tying payments activity to the ledger.
