American Express + Coconut: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your American Express UK bank statement into Coconut? American Express uses DD MMM YY and charge card layout with separate sections for new charges, payments, credits, and membership rewards summary — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount — Coconut accepts a single amount column with positive for income and negative for expenses) for Coconut import.
