Standardise bank, card and payment-provider PDFs for finance
Businesses often receive financial data from several bank accounts, corporate cards and payment providers. A consistent conversion step reduces manual re-entry and gives finance teams a clearer month-end input.
Many sources, one repeatable finance process
Different providers produce different PDF structures. Standardising the extracted transaction data makes reconciliation and downstream import more consistent.
Typical business workflows
Prepare month-end
Process bank and card PDFs in a repeatable monthly sequence.
Align target systems
Choose CSV, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage or a bank format based on the receiving system.
Include payment providers
Bring PayPal and other provider reports into the wider reconciliation workflow.

Frequently asked questions
Can different banks be processed in the same workflow?
Yes. KontoCSV is not limited to one bank; bank-specific pages provide additional guidance.
Can bank accounts and corporate cards both be processed?
Yes, although card statements can have different structures and should be reviewed as their own document type.
When is CAMT.053 better than CSV?
Use CAMT.053 when the receiving system explicitly expects that structured bank format; CSV is usually simpler for analysis and custom mapping.
