It clears existing transactions through transaction matching and enters (and 
clears) non-existent transactions. Reconciling cleared transactions is 
automatic. I guess it can be thought of as a pre-reconciliation reconciling. 
So yes, it does help with reconciliation. Any cleared transactions in the 
statement period are automatically marked as reconciled in the reconcile 
process.
