Tide + IRIS: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Tide Business Banking bank statement into IRIS? Tide uses DD/MM/YYYY and single Amount column with category tags, invoice references, and running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit — IRIS uses Narrative instead of Description and requires separate Debit/Credit columns) for IRIS import.
How BankScan AI Converts Tide for IRIS
