Wave + Rental Application: Complete Workflow
Preparing for rental application and using Wave? Letting agents and referencing agencies require 3 months of bank statements to verify tenant income and affordability. Tenants need to provide clear, readable statements. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Wave's import feature.
BankScan AI → Wave for Rental Application
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for Wave import. Convert your bank statements to Excel format for clean, professional-looking financial evidence that speeds up your rental application.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload 3 months of recent statements, covering the period immediately before the application of statements.
AI formats for Wave
Output as CSV with Date, Description, Amount — Wave supports both single amount column and separate Income/Expense columns — dates in YYYY-MM-DD or MM/DD/YYYY.
Import and use for rental application
Upload into Wave and use the reconciled data for rental application.
Supported Banks
BankScan AI works with all major UK and US banks, including:
Wave + Rental Application Features
- Wave ready — Output formatted as CSV matching Wave's expected column structure
- Smart integration — Wave's invoicing is tightly coupled with bank imports — when you import a bank deposit, Wave suggests matching it to outstanding invoices automatically.
- Built for Rental Application — Convert your bank statements to Excel format for clean, professional-looking financial evidence that speeds up your rental application.
Import for Rental Application into Wave
After converting your bank statements for rental 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.
Wave Import for Rental Application
Rental properties move fast, especially in London; referencing must often be completed within 24-48 hours to secure the property before another applicant
