Statements and transaction imports

Separate statements containing more than one currency

Keep extracted amounts tied to the correct account currency.

Updated 2026-11-11

The statement guidance asks for one account and one currency per file. Separate combined currency statements before extraction so each amount can be interpreted in the proper source account.

  1. Check the currency printed on the account statement and each account section.
  2. Obtain separate statements or exports for different currency accounts.
  3. Select the matching financial account and inspect extracted currency and amounts before posting.

Do not label a mixed-currency file with one currency and assume the importer will convert the other values. A currency code identifies the amount; it is not an exchange-rate instruction.

Distinguish purchase detail from account movement

A card statement may show an original foreign purchase alongside the settled account-currency charge. Preserve both in the source evidence while reviewing which value represents the movement in the selected account.

If a combined statement cannot be separated without losing needed context, ask support about the appropriate source format. Keep the original document intact. Compare each resulting file’s period and totals so the separation does not omit fees, refunds or other movements that appear near currency-section boundaries.
