Starling + FreeAgent: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Starling Bank bank statement into FreeAgent? Starling uses DD/MM/YYYY and single Amount column with +/- signs, merchant categories, 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.
