HSBC + Wave: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your HSBC UK bank statement into Wave? HSBC uses DD MMM YYYY and single amount column with DR/CR indicators 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.
How BankScan AI Converts HSBC for Wave
Convert your bank statement to CSV with BankScan AI, then use Wave's import feature to upload transactions. The format is fully compatible. HSBC statements often use multi-line transaction descriptions and older PDF formats that generic converters struggle with.

Wave's free tier has occasional processing delays on large files. Also, Wave uses MM/DD/YYYY by default which conflicts with UK DD/MM/YYYY — select the correct format during import.
