Whichever order your Technobank statement prints its columns in, each one still has to land in the right place once it reaches a spreadsheet. Column mapping follows a predictable order: date, description, debit, credit, balance. The engine recognises which column holds a reference number and which holds a value date, aligning them so they land in the correct export field every time. The exported file mirrors the statement’s own structure, leaving no column to be retyped by hand.
When your Technobank 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 are read with OCR, the same engine used for digital files. The running-balance check catches any OCR misread: if a printed 3 becomes an 8, the row fails to add up and is flagged for review. You recheck just that row rather than the whole statement, so the conversion stays accurate without making a clean-up pass necessary.
