MYOB Business release notes

Last updated 3 September 2026

Each month we release improvements, new features and bug fixes to MYOB Business. You'll also notice these changes if you use AccountRight in a web browser. If you use AccountRight desktop software, see what's new.

What we released in August

Banking

We're continuing to improve AI-assisted bank transaction matching and reconciliation:

Get help fixing reconciliation differences
When your reconciliation is out of balance in Smart Reconciliation, select Learn about fixing a difference to open support guidance in a new tab.

See tax codes when choosing a category
Tax codes now appear next to categories in the Smart Reconciliation category list. You can also search for categories by tax code, making it easier to choose the right category and tax treatment.

Finalise reconciliations with no transactions
You can now finalise a reconciliation when the difference is $0.00, even if there are no transactions in the reconciliation period.

Understand why a transaction can’t be removed
Hover over a greyed-out tick box in the Smart Reconciliation anomaly table to see why the transaction can’t be removed and how to choose a different match.

See saved reconciliation counts
The Out of Balance banner now keeps its counts unchanged while you select or clear transactions. The counts and reconciliation table update after you select Save progress successfully.

Safer category automatching
Category automatching now avoids older, locked or out-of-period bank transactions. This helps prevent categories being applied automatically to transactions in historical or closed accounting periods.

MYOB Capture and MYOB Invoice apps retiring (Australia only)

From 29 September 2026, MYOB Capture and MYOB Invoice will stop working in Australia. MYOB Assist replaces both apps, bringing receipt capture, quoting and invoicing together in one app. If you use either app, download MYOB Assist before 29 September 2026.

Surcharge changes are coming (Australia only)

From 1 October 2026, changes to surcharging will affect how you manage fees on invoices paid via online payments. We'll be updating our invoicing feature to help keep your payment experience simple, consistent and in line with the new guidelines.

This will include removing the option for businesses to pass online payment fees to your customers as a surcharge from 1 October 2026.

In the lead up to this change, we'll share more info so you'll know what to expect come 1 October.

AI Assistant now in beta (Australia only)

AI Assistant (Beta) is a chat feature in MYOB Business that lets you ask questions about your business in plain language. AI Assistant (Beta) is currently available to a limited number of MYOB Business Lite and Pro customers.

• Get read-only insights into your income, expenses, cash flow, profit and outstanding invoices, using your MYOB data.

• Find answers to how-to and support questions about using MYOB Business, without leaving the chat.

• The assistant remembers your chat history, so you can pick up a previous conversation where you left off.

• Ask follow-up and multi-part questions in the same conversation, so you can build on what you’ve already asked.

• The assistant now displays alongside your workflows and no longer covers the screen you're on. This means you can reference chat and keep working without losing sight of what you're doing.

Ask questions about your MYOB data in Claude or ChatGPT (Australia only)

The MYOB Connector is now in beta, available to a select group of Australian businesses. It lets you ask Claude or ChatGPT questions about your business finances in plain English and get read-only answers based on your live MYOB data.

MYOB Connector gives you a fast, read-only view of your numbers, from profit and loss to sales, receivables, and payables. It's the first step towards viewing your real MYOB data directly from the AI tools you already use every day.

More guidance and control in AI BAS (Australia only)

We’ve made it easier to understand AI BAS recommendations, set up AI BAS and review GST treatment.

Clearer AI recommendations
The review page now provides more context, hints and reasoning behind suggested GST codes or amounts, including why a transaction may be considered personal or need review. After you accept a transaction, AI BAS explains that your decision helps improve future recommendations.

Guided onboarding
Learn what AI BAS is and how to use it, configure your BAS settings, and connect bank feeds, the MYOB Assist app and Smart Reconciliation.

Smarter GST detection
AI BAS now uses more context to determine GST treatment for income, rather than applying 10% to every transaction that isn’t a transfer. If it can’t confidently determine the GST treatment, it marks the transaction as unreconciled for you to review.

Dashboard (if using AI BAS)

New dashboard cards
Two new cards on your dashboard help you stay on track with your compliance tasks throughout the quarter, and they link directly to the relevant task.

AI Business Insights (Beta) expands to more customers

More customers added to the beta
AI Business Insights is now available to more MYOB Business Pro customers. It uses AI-generated summaries to highlight trends in areas such as sales, expenses, customer activity and cash flow, helping you see what may need attention.

AI Business Insights now in the Reporting menu
AI Business Insights is now accessible from the Reporting menu, making it easier to get to your insights from anywhere within MYOB Business – including reports.

Previous releases

Each month, we release improvements, new features, and bug fixes. By working online, you can also use AccountRight in a web browser – take a look at what's new in the browser.

What's new in AccountRight version 2026.7 - released 19 August

Reminder: This release is available only when working online with the AccountRight PC Edition. AccountRight Server Edition and the AccountRight MSI installer support offline company files only and no longer receive regular updates.

Passkeys are now simpler to use

Passkeys provide a secure sign-in method, so you no longer need to complete a separate 2FA code when signing into AccountRight. This means fewer prompts and faster access. You’ll still need another 2FA method for some account security changes.

Banking (AccountRight browser only)

Automatching now matches transactions from the last 30 days

• When you turn on the automatching settings Match to MYOB records and Match to invoices and bills, MYOB automatically matches eligible transactions from the last 30 days. Transactions must be in the current financial year and after the file lock date (if one is set).

• If automatching is already on, new transactions are automatically matched only while they’re within 30 days of the transaction date. Transactions older than 30 days receive a match suggestion instead. This helps prevent changes to older unmatched bank transactions.

Improved usability for the smart reconciliation view

• We’ve made attachments easier to use in the smart reconciliation view of the Bank transactions page. Clearer icons, helpful tips and a larger attachment count make it easier to see, add and open documents from a bank transaction.

• The smart reconciliation view now uses screen space more efficiently, with the Unmatch button always visible for matched transactions and less empty space around transaction details. This makes it easier to review and change matches without unnecessary scrolling.

• When reconciling, you'll now see more meaningful info if there's an out of balance. You'll see at a glance how many transactions still need matching, with clearer wording for transactions that need review or finalising. This makes it easier to see what needs attention before completing reconciliation.

• The smart reconciliation view now shows the suggested bill or invoice amount in the Match field for one-to-one matches, making it easier to check the amount before accepting the match.

Bug fixes

We fixed a problem where the AccountRight API could show an error when trying to creating a pay slip PDF for an online company file with payroll. This happened after the API had worked with an online company file that didn’t use payroll.

After each release, we retire an older version

We usually release an AccountRight update around the middle of the month with improvements and fixes.

As updates are released, older versions are decommissioned and no longer work online. If you're using an older version and your file's online, you must update to the latest AccountRight version to keep working.

With the release of MYOB AccountRight 2026.7, if you're the 2026.6 version of MYOB AccountRight you must update your software by 31st August 2026* to continue accessing your online company file.

* All dates are indicative only and subject to change.
