Import a bank statement

Import bank transactions into Saldek from CSV or CAMT.053 (XML) files exported from your online banking. Bank statement import is available on the Starter plan and above.

Requirements

  • The trial or an active plan starting with Starter. Bank import is not available in read-only mode without a plan.
  • A bank account set up in Saldek with IBAN and BIC.
  • A bank statement exported as a CSV or CAMT.053 (XML) file.
  • Import the statement here, not under “Documents”: there Saldek only files it and imports no transactions.

Frequently asked questions

Which file formats can I import?

You can import bank statements exported from online banking as CSV or CAMT.053 (XML) files.

Can I connect directly to my bank?

No. Saldek does not currently support a direct live bank connection (PSD2). Import bank statements as files.

Does importing a statement post transactions?

No. The import reads the transactions and creates suggestions. Saldek does not post anything to the ledger automatically.
