Tide + Sage: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Tide Business Banking bank statement into Sage? Tide uses DD/MM/YYYY and single Amount column with category tags, invoice references, and running balance — 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 Tide 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. Tide business account statements include invoice references and categories that BankScan AI maps to your bookkeeping codes.
