Bank CSV to camt.053

Turn a bank CSV into a camt.053 statement file with the balances proved first.

Upload a bank statement CSV, say which column is which, enter the opening balance, and get an ISO 20022 camt.053.001.02 XML statement for use in accounting software. Every amount is read in whole cents, the closing balance is worked out from your opening balance and checked against the one on your statement if you enter it, and the IBANs are checked. Nothing you upload is sent anywhere.

This tool writes a camt.053.001.02 file from your own CSV and checks the format rules. It cannot know which bank transaction codes your accounting software expects, so it writes one proprietary code for every entry (editable below). The output is checked against the ISO 20022 camt.053.001.02 schema, but it has not been tried in any accounting or banking software. Check that your software accepts the file before you rely on it. It gives no tax or accounting advice.

Your bank CSV

What it covers

  • One account statement in camt.053.001.02, UTF-8, with an opening balance (OPBD), a closing balance (CLBD) and one entry per CSV line, booked, sorted by booking date.
  • Each entry carries the amount, credit or debit, booking date, optional value date, optional bank reference, your transaction code, and optional end-to-end reference, counterparty name and counterparty IBAN, and description as unstructured remittance text.
  • Checks: IBAN check digits for the account and each counterparty, valid dates, amounts with at most two decimals and no zero lines, text length limits from the schema, characters XML cannot hold are refused and never changed, and the closing balance matches yours when you enter it.
