Why Use BankScan AI?
Need to convert a First Direct (HSBC) bank statement to Excel? BankScan AI uses artificial intelligence to parse your First Direct PDF statement and produce a clean, formatted spreadsheet — ready to import into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, or any bookkeeping software.
About First Direct Statements
First Direct statements follow an HSBC-family format but with a distinct minimalist layout. BankScan AI detects the variant automatically. BankScan AI has been specifically trained on First Direct (HSBC) statement layouts across all supported formats (PDF), so it correctly handles the column alignment, date parsing, and transaction description extraction that generic PDF tools get wrong. Whether you are processing a single month or bulk-converting a year of First Direct statements, every transaction is captured with over 99% accuracy.
