Tips & Best Practices

Use headers in your CSV: Include descriptive column headers so the auto-detection engine can accurately map fields to CAMT elements.
Verify the column mapping: After pasting or uploading your CSV, review the auto-detected mappings and correct any misidentified columns.
Enter a valid IBAN: Provide a real IBAN in the Account Information to ensure the generated XML passes validation in banking systems.
Check the quality score: Review the output quality assessment and address any reported issues before using the generated XML in production.
Test with sample data first: Use the built-in sample CSV to understand the output format before converting your actual transaction data.
Handle large files carefully: The tool supports up to 10,000 transactions per conversion. For larger datasets, split your CSV into smaller batches.
