International bank statement import (camt.053, MT940, CSV)

Typing bank payments in by hand is slow and error-prone. Importing the bank statement directly is faster and more accurate — the file your bank already produces becomes your collection record. Flatmine reads the international standard formats so you are not tied to one bank or country: camt.053 (ISO 20022 XML), MT940 and CSV.

camt.053 (ISO 20022 XML) is the modern international standard, used by banks across Europe and beyond; it carries rich, structured detail (amounts, dates, counterparties, references). MT940 is the long-established SWIFT statement format still common worldwide. CSV is the universal fallback — almost every bank can export it, and a column-mapping step adapts it to your data.

After import, each line is matched to the right unit or account automatically, using signals like the IBAN and payment reference. You stay in control: the system proposes the matches, an operator confirms them, and only then is the collection recorded. Multi-currency statements are handled, so cross-border communities work the same way.

Importing does not replace good records — it feeds them. Keep the original statement file, review unmatched lines instead of forcing them, and let the running balance update from confirmed entries. The result is faster month-ends, fewer typing mistakes, and a collection record that matches the bank line for line.
