Dext + Grant Application: Complete Workflow
Preparing for grant application and using Dext? Grant applications often require evidence of financial health, cash flow, and how previous funding was spent — typically shown through bank statements. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Dext's import feature.
BankScan AI → Dext for Grant Application
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for Dext import. Convert your bank statements to clear spreadsheets that demonstrate financial health, spending patterns, and fund usage for grant applications.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload 3-12 months, depending on the funder; Arts Council and Innovate UK typically require 3 months, while National Lottery may require a full year of statements.
AI formats for Dext
Output as CSV with N/A — Dext is not a direct import target. BankScan AI outputs feed into the same accounting software that Dext publishes to (Xero, QBO, Sage). — dates in DD/MM/YYYY (for onward import to accounting software).
Import and use for grant application
Upload into Dext and use the reconciled data for grant application.
Supported Banks
BankScan AI works with all major UK and US banks, including:
Dext + Grant Application Features
- Dext ready — Output formatted as CSV matching Dext's expected column structure
- Smart integration — Dext's bank reconciliation view can show imported bank transactions alongside extracted receipt data, making it easy to match spend to supporting documents.
- Built for Grant Application — Convert your bank statements to clear spreadsheets that demonstrate financial health, spending patterns, and fund usage for grant applications.
Import for Grant Application into Dext
After converting your bank statements for grant application:
- BankScan AI and Dext work together in your workflow: use BankScan AI for bank statement PDFs, Dext for receipts and invoices, then import both into your accounting software
Common Import Issues
No direct import errors — Dext and BankScan AI are complementary tools. Ensure both use the same accounting software integration for consistent reconciliation.
Dext Import for Grant Application
Grant rounds have fixed closing dates; applications without complete financial evidence are typically rejected outright rather than given extensions
