First Direct → CSV for Enrolled Agents
As an enrolled agent, you need First Direct bank statements in CSV format. First Direct statements follow an HSBC-family format but with a distinct minimalist layout. BankScan AI detects the variant automatically. BankScan AI handles the conversion — DD MMM YYYY, minimalist single-column layout with transaction type codes and running balance, similar to HSBC but with simplified headers, and all.
