Why Use BankScan AI?
Wave is a free accounting platform popular with freelancers and micro-businesses in the UK. But importing bank statements from PDF into Wave requires converting them to CSV first — and that's where BankScan AI comes in.
The Solution
Convert your bank statement to CSV with BankScan AI, then use Wave's import feature to upload transactions. The format is fully compatible.
About {'name': 'Wave', 'full_name': 'Wave Accounting', 'import_format': 'CSV', 'description': 'Wave is a free accounting platform popular with freelancers and micro-businesses in the UK.', 'import_notes': "Convert your bank statement to CSV with BankScan AI, then use Wave's import feature to upload transactions. The format is fully compatible."} Integration
Importing bank transactions into Wave typically involves downloading a CSV file from your bank's online portal — but many clients provide paper statements or PDF downloads that Wave cannot read directly. Convert your bank statement to CSV with BankScan AI, then use Wave's import feature to upload transactions. The format is fully compatible. This means you spend less time reformatting spreadsheets and more time on the reconciliation and advisory work that actually matters to your clients.
