HSBC + FreeAgent: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your HSBC UK bank statement into FreeAgent? HSBC uses DD MMM YYYY and single amount column with DR/CR indicators and running balance — 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 HSBC 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. HSBC statements often use multi-line transaction descriptions and older PDF formats that generic converters struggle with.
