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

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.
