Bank Statements

The Bank Statements module lets you upload client bank statements and match transactions to invoices for automated payment reconciliation.

Uploading a Statement

1. Navigate to Bank Statements in the sidebar
2. Click + Upload Statement
3. Select:
   • Entity — which client this statement belongs to
   • Bank — bank name (FNB, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank, etc.)
   • Account — account number
   • Period — statement period
4. Upload the file (CSV or OFX format)
5. Atlas parses the transactions

Supported Formats

Format	Banks
CSV	All major South African banks
OFX	Supported by most banking portals

Auto-Matching

After upload, Atlas attempts to match statement lines to open invoices:

Rule	How it matches
Amount	Statement amount matches invoice total
Reference	Invoice number found in statement description
Entity	Statement belongs to the entity that was invoiced
Date	Payment date is near or after the invoice date

Match Confidence

Level	Action
High	Auto-matched — review and confirm
Medium	Suggested match — verify manually
No match	Unmatched — manually assign or skip

Reviewing Matches

1. Open the uploaded statement
2. Review each transaction:
   • Matched — confirm with one click
   • Wrong match — reassign to the correct invoice
   • No match — mark as unrelated to any invoice
3. Confirmed matches auto-record payments against the invoices
