Apps Apps Apps - May 2021
Adding the right applications to your business can streamline operations, create efficient processes and save you time and money. But where to start? There are 1,000’s of applications out there, many solving the same or similar issues. Each month, we research, trial, and review dozens of applications; constantly searching for the ideal solutions for our clients. We have an internal rule that any application we recommend must solve at least three problems.
Each month, members of the MATAX team pick their favorite of the month. Here are the selections for May 2021.

Same-day**, weekend, and holiday deposits for any approved transaction by 5 pm PST at no additional cost when depositing into a Chase business checking account

A time-saving perk is that the Xero invoice is automatically marked as paid when payment from a customer is initiated through Chase Integrated Payments.
** for the first deposit or unusually large deposit, it may take up 1-2 business days for Chase's Trust and Safety team to review. Once cleared, the deposit will follow the schedule above.
Pricing: 2.9% + 25c* per transaction.
Dan’s Pick:
Google Chrome Tab Groups
If you're guilty of collecting way too many open tabs in your web browser, this new feature from Google Chrome should be quite exciting for you.
Now, if you right-click a tab or selection of tabs, you will see the option to "Add tab(s) to a new group". Tabs in a group can be moved into one unit, making organization much faster and easier. You can also click the “Tab Group” icon to condense and hide all your tabs to save for later.
Leveraging this new feature in Chrome will absolutely save you time and boost your organization by cleaning up your web browser tabs and making it far easier to find what you're looking for.
Pricing: Free!
