Tide + Wave: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Tide Business Banking bank statement into Wave? Tide uses DD/MM/YYYY and single Amount column with category tags, invoice references, and running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount — Wave supports both single amount column and separate Income/Expense columns) for Wave import.

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.
