AIB + Sage: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your AIB UK (Allied Irish Banks) bank statement into Sage? AIB uses DD/MM/YYYY and Irish banking format with separate Debit and Credit columns plus running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Details/Reference, Paid in, Paid out — Sage requires separate debit and credit columns rather than a single signed amount) for Sage import.
How BankScan AI Converts AIB for Sage
BankScan AI's CSV output is compatible with Sage's bank statement import. The date format, transaction descriptions, and amount columns are mapped automatically. AIB UK statements serve Northern Ireland customers with a format that differs from mainland UK banks. BankScan AI parses both GBP and EUR transactions.
