AIB + Bench: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your AIB UK (Allied Irish Banks) bank statement into Bench? AIB uses DD/MM/YYYY and Irish banking format with separate Debit and Credit columns plus running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount — Bench bookkeepers handle column mapping during their review process) for Bench import.
How BankScan AI Converts AIB for Bench
Convert bank statements to CSV with BankScan AI for Bench-compatible import. Useful when bank feeds are unavailable or historical statements need processing. AIB UK statements serve Northern Ireland customers with a format that differs from mainland UK banks. BankScan AI parses both GBP and EUR transactions.
