Santander + FreeAgent: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Santander UK bank statement into FreeAgent? Santander uses DD/MM/YYYY and two-column debit/credit layout with separate Payments and Receipts columns — 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 Santander 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. Santander UK statements use a two-column debit/credit layout that requires careful parsing to maintain accuracy.
