CSV Output Details

Comma-Separated Values (.csv) is the universal import format accepted by virtually every accounting platform, database, and analysis tool. BankScan AI outputs UTF-8 encoded CSV with ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD) by default, with options for DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. Amounts use decimal points, no thousands separators. First Direct statements follow an HSBC-family format but with a distinct minimalist layout. BankScan AI detects the variant automatically.
