Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MT940 file?

MT940 is a SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) standard message type used for electronic delivery of bank account statements. It contains structured transaction data including dates, amounts, references, balances, and counterparty information in a standardized text format.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, this MT940 to CSV converter is completely free to use with no limitations on file size or number of conversions. There is no registration required.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. All MT940 parsing and CSV generation happens entirely in your web browser. Your financial data never leaves your device and is never sent to any external server.

Which banks' MT940 formats are supported?

The tool supports the standard SWIFT MT940 specification as well as bank-specific variants from Deutsche Bank, ING Bank, Rabobank, Sparkasse, and ABN AMRO. The auto-detection engine adapts to most MT940 variants automatically.

What does the confidence score mean?

The confidence score indicates how reliably each field was extracted from the MT940 data. A score of 90% or higher means high-quality extraction, 70-89% indicates potential minor issues, and below 70% suggests the data may need manual review or field mapping adjustment.

Can I convert multiple MT940 statements at once?

Yes, the converter handles MT940 files containing multiple statements. Each statement with its own reference, account, and transactions is processed and included in the combined CSV output.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the source file: Ensure your MT940 file is complete and not truncated, as partial files may produce warnings or missing transactions.
  • Check the confidence scores: After conversion, review the overall and per-field confidence ratings to ensure the extraction quality meets your requirements.
  • Use the mapping wizard: If the auto-detected field priorities produce unexpected results, open the Field Mapping Configuration to manually adjust extraction order.
  • Try the sample data first: Load the built-in sample to familiarize yourself with the tool's output format before converting your own MT940 files.
  • Review the transaction preview: Always check the interactive preview table to spot any parsing anomalies before downloading the final CSV.
  • Keep your original file: Always maintain a backup of the original MT940 file, as the CSV conversion is a one-way transformation that may simplify some structured data.
