Once your Capitec Bank statement is uploaded, what you get back depends on which export format you actually need next. The engine exports to the exact format your next step requires. Choose Excel for a clean, colour-coded ledger that is ready to reconcile or pivot. Choose CSV when you need a plain, universal file that any system can ingest without formatting. Choose QBO for a direct import into QuickBooks Online, with columns already mapped to the fields the platform expects. The export preserves the verified transaction table as it appears after the running-balance check, so the numbers you hand off match the numbers on the original statement.
If a transaction description on your Capitec Bank statement is long enough to wrap across two or three lines, it still needs to land in a single row once converted. Transaction descriptions that wrap across multiple lines are a common source of fractured data. A single purchase can spill into two or three rows when pasted by hand, splitting the narrative detail from its amount and date. The engine reads the statement document as a whole and reconstructs each multi-line description into a single row. The line that carries the amount and date stays anchored to its full text, so the export contains one complete record per transaction rather than a sequence of orphaned fragments.
When your Capitec Bank statement arrives as a scan or a photo of the page rather than a clean export, the numbers on it are just pixels until they are extracted. Scanned and photographed statements arrive as images, not as data tables, so every number must be read optically before any verification can begin. The engine applies OCR to extract the transaction table from the image, then subjects every row to the same running-balance check used for clean digital files. A misread digit, a distorted character or a shadow that turns a 3 into an 8 will cause the calculated balance to diverge from the printed closing figure. When that happens the row is flagged for review rather than silently accepted, so the final export gives you a chance to correct a scanning error before it reaches the ledger.
