Upload a bank statement
Upload a PDF, CSV or OFX statement to a bank account, what happens to older rows, and how AkountFly guarantees the statement balances.
Click Upload Statement in the AI Bank Transactions Center (or on the Uploads tab). In the Upload Bank Statement dialog, check the file, choose Select Bank Account (required - the statement is validated against that account to prevent mismatches) and click Process Statement. Processing continues in the background if you close the dialog.
Supported formats: PDF (native or scanned), CSV, OFX / QIF.
What happens to the rows:
- Rows dated before your Accounting Start Date are not added to the feed - their net effect becomes the account's opening balance.
- Rows between the Accounting Start Date and your registration month are backlog and follow your Backlog processing choice (Settings → General).
- Rows from your registration month onwards are processed with full AI.
Every row lands exactly once - repeated identical rows on the same day (e.g. several NIP charges) are all kept, and re-uploading the same statement never duplicates. After landing, AkountFly verifies that opening balance + all lines = the statement's closing balance; if a statement cannot be balanced the upload is marked completed with exceptions and shows the difference. Deleting an upload on the Uploads tab reverses everything it created.
