About Bank Transactions
The catch-all file feed for the banks open banking does not cover.
Most companies still receive at least one bank-statement file the old way. CODA is the Belgian standard, maintained by Febelfin (the federation of the Belgian financial sector), and every Belgian bank publishes it daily for corporate clients. MT940 is the SWIFT end-of-day statement that banks across Europe and beyond have used for decades, and CAMT.053 is its ISO 20022 XML successor. The SWIFT migration to ISO 20022 for cross-border payment instructions completed on 22 November 2025, so CAMT.053 is the format you see growing fastest in 2026, while CODA and MT940 stay alive for domestic feeds and legacy contracts.
The connector reads those files wherever the bank drops them: SFTP folder, EBICS endpoint, an inbox the bank emails to, or an upload screen for the smaller account where a controller still pulls the statement by hand once a week. We parse the file shape (fixed-width for CODA, MT-syntax blocks for MT940, XML for CAMT.053), keep the IBAN, value date, booking date, amount, counterparty name, end-to-end reference and bank transaction code on each line, and land it in the warehouse against the customer or supplier the line is about. That is where daily cash position, AR and AP reconciliation, and fraud-volume monitoring live, instead of inside a dashboard one bank gives you for one account.
