Halifax + Wave: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Halifax (Bank of Scotland) bank statement into Wave? Halifax uses DD MMM YY and single column for debits and credits with a Type column and running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount — Wave supports both single amount column and separate Income/Expense columns) for Wave import.
