How it works

PDF statement to Sage in three steps.

01

Upload the bank statement PDF

Any UK bank. Purpose-built readers for HSBC, Lloyds, Revolut, Starling, Tide and Allica; our AI reads the rest.

02

Checked against the statement

The totals and the running balance have to agree with what the bank printed. If a statement can't be checked, or doesn't tie, it says so before you import anything.

03

Download for Sage

One click gives you a CSV laid out the way Sage asks for it — then import it into the bank account.

The file

Laid out the way Sage asks.

Columns

  • Date — day/month/year, separated by slashes
  • Description — never blank, one line
  • Money in
  • Money out
  • Reference — an extra column Sage recognises by name

Why it looks like this

Money in and money out are in their own columns, with the other left blank rather than 0.00, as Sage asks.

Importing

Into Sage.

01

Open the bank account

From Banking, find the bank account you want to import into, select Actions, then Import statement.

02

Upload and set the date format

Browse to or drag in the CSV from StatementPro, select Review transactions, then choose day/month/year as the date format and Continue.

03

Review and confirm

Check the transactions for errors, then select Confirm import. Sage keeps your choices for the next import.

Sage can't import foreign-currency statements, or transactions dated before your Accounts Start Date.

Why StatementPro

Checked first, then imported.

Checked before it reaches your books

Importing a statement nobody has checked moves the problem into your ledger. StatementPro walks every transaction against the statement's own running balance and totals first, and tells you plainly when it couldn't.

Dates you can trust

Every date goes in as day/month/year. If a date can't be read without guessing — say, a statement that prints no year — the Sage file isn't made, rather than landing transactions in the wrong period.

Overlaps flagged

Convert several statements together and StatementPro tells you when two of them cover the same days, so the same transactions don't go in twice.

Private by design

The source PDF is deleted the moment conversion completes. The structured output is kept for 90 days by default (a year, if you choose that when you sign up) and is deletable anytime.
