More and more banks allow their customers to download posting records in various formats. By using the bankstatement
class, you can create bank statements, as long as a csv
format is available. At the moment, the csv-mt940
and csv-camt
formats — used by many german Sparkassen — are supported. You can quite easily add support for other csv
formats. Simply define the order of the keys in the csv data file and how to use them.
The terminology in this class — such as BIC (Business Identifier Code) or IBAN (International Bank Account Number) — is based on usage in the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area).
The user may adjust the terminology to suit local needs.
