Tide + FreeAgent: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Tide Business Banking bank statement into FreeAgent? Tide uses DD/MM/YYYY and single Amount column with category tags, invoice references, 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.

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. Tide business account statements include invoice references and categories that BankScan AI maps to your bookkeeping codes.
