The bank statement import now reads more than CSV. It also takes an Excel workbook, an ISO 20022 CAMT.053 file, a SWIFT MT940 file and an OFX or QFX file.

What changed

  • Excel (.xlsx) goes through the same column mapping as a CSV file.
  • CAMT.053, MT940 and OFX need no mapping. They reach the statement review with the opening and closing balances the file states, in the file’s currency.
  • The file is recognised by what is inside it, not by its name.

Where to find it

Use the same bank statement import you use for CSV files today, and choose the file your bank gives you.
