Common pain points with this format:

Running Balance Cross-Check

Scotiabank statements include a running balance column that most converters ignore. Without validating it, missing or duplicate transactions go undetected. We extract this balance and cross-check it against opening/closing balances to ensure every transaction is accounted for.

Running Balance Cross-Check

Separate Credit & Debit Columns

Scotiabank Canada statements use separate Credit and Debit columns in some formats, while others use a single Amount column with signs. Treating one layout like the other leads to wrong amounts or flipped signs. We automatically detect which layout is used and normalize the output.

Inconsistent Date Formats

Bank of Nova Scotia statements use different date formats within the same document (e.g., "30 Jun 2025" for statement dates and "15/03/2025" for transactions), which can cause date parsing errors or silent misinterpretation. We normalize all dates to a consistent format automatically.
