Barclays + FreeAgent: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Barclays Bank UK bank statement into FreeAgent? Barclays uses DD/MM/YYYY and separate Money In and Money Out columns with a running balance column — which needs converting to CSV / OFX (Date, Description, Amount (single column) — FreeAgent also accepts OFX files which skip the column mapping step entirely) for FreeAgent import.
How BankScan AI Converts Barclays for FreeAgent
Convert your bank statement PDF with BankScan AI, then import the CSV into FreeAgent's bank statement upload. Dates and amounts are formatted to match FreeAgent's requirements. Barclays statements come in a clean tabular layout, but date formats and running balances can trip up basic parsers.
