Wave + Business Loan Application: Complete Workflow
Preparing for business loan application and using Wave? Lenders and finance brokers require 6-12 months of business bank statements to assess cash flow and creditworthiness. Disorganised PDFs slow down applications. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Wave's import feature.

How It Works

Import for Business Loan Application into Wave
After converting your bank statements for business loan application:
- In Wave, go to Banking > Connected Accounts > Upload a bank statement (CSV)
- Select the file, map columns to Date, Description, and Amount, then import
Common Import Issues
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.
