What it does
SFirm brings business accounts from several banks into one Windows application for payment planning and account records. Payments can wait in a transmission pool for review and release. Star Finanz still displays a notice suspending new direct purchases and subscriptions, while existing installations remain usable.
Prepare and review a payment batch
Choose the accounts included in planning, then distinguish booked balances from value-dated balances. Group payments by account, originator or folder and hold them in the transmission pool until they are ready. Separate approval by a second person supports a review before release.
HBCI/FinTS and EBICS are bank-communication standards. Their availability depends on the edition and the bank's support. The EBICS-Unterschriftenmappe folder handles payment signatures; supported editions can also use the Finanzcockpit companion app. Account records and payment reports can be printed or saved as PDF.
Editions and published prices
| Edition | Monthly price, including VAT and maintenance | Main distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | €39.99 | HBCI/FinTS and SEPA transfers |
| Medium | €69.99 | Adds direct debits, EBICS and domestic cash management |
| Premium | €99.99 | Adds international payments and separate company databases |

Direct subscriptions renew monthly and require cancellation at least five days before the billing period ends. A 60-day trial is advertised.
The vendor's service notice says new direct purchases and subscriptions are suspended because of its external payment processor. Bank-supplied editions and their installation files come from the relevant Sparkasse or Landesbank.
SFirm runs on supported Windows systems. Native macOS and Linux installations are not supported.
