Santander + Sage: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Santander UK bank statement into Sage? Santander uses DD/MM/YYYY and two-column debit/credit layout with separate Payments and Receipts columns — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Details/Reference, Paid in, Paid out — Sage requires separate debit and credit columns rather than a single signed amount) for Sage import.
How BankScan AI Converts Santander for Sage
BankScan AI's CSV output is compatible with Sage's bank statement import. The date format, transaction descriptions, and amount columns are mapped automatically. Santander UK statements use a two-column debit/credit layout that requires careful parsing to maintain accuracy.
