When your Middle East 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. Statements issued on paper and later scanned, or photographed with a phone, introduce problems a clean digital file never does: the table grid can be slightly rotated, letters and digits might blur at the edges, and background speckle can turn a 3 into an 8. Convert·Into reads these images with OCR tuned for statement layouts, not generic documents, so the engine expects a transaction table rather than freeform text. It aligns each column against the visible grid lines and cross-checks numeric fields against expected ranges: a figure that lands wildly outside the normal pattern is flagged before it reaches the export, and you can correct it in place.
Whatever the running balance looks like on your Middle East bank statement, Convert·Into checks it against the statement's own printed closing figure before you export anything. The real safety net is not the extraction itself; it is the verification that follows. As every row is read, the engine recomputes the running balance and compares it against the printed closing figure shown on the statement. Any discrepancy, however small, leaves that row highlighted in the review screen rather than silently accepted. A statement that survives this check line by line is a statement you can hand straight to the accountant or the client without a second audit pass.
Once your Middle East bank statement is uploaded, what you get back depends on which export format you actually need next. Once the rows are verified, you choose the target format from three clean exports. Excel gives you a formatted workbook with every column mapped to a labelled header, ready for pivot tables or custom analysis. CSV provides a lightweight, universal format for database imports and scripts. QBO exports deliver a file structured for direct ingestion into QuickBooks Online, with date, description, debit, credit and balance columns in the order the platform expects. Pick one or pick all three: the source data is the same, and the mapping logic follows the same rules regardless of the output.
