Bank statement guide

Import a bank statement PDF, then check every movement in Navor.

Connect a supported bank through bLink or upload the statement supplied by the bank. Navor reconstructs the transactions, checks available balances, and keeps the result in review until you validate it.

Two ways in

Use the bank connection when it is available. Use the statement when it is not.

01

Connect through SIX bLink

For participating banks, the customer grants explicit consent through the bank’s authorization flow. The account remains connected, so Navor can retrieve new statements electronically without downloading and uploading a PDF each time.

The current synchronization is started by the user. CAMT data arrives in a structured electronic format rather than through OCR, but Navor still presents it in the statement review flow.

02

Upload the bank’s file

Upload the original PDF downloaded from e-banking. If it is unavailable, a clear scan can also be processed. Navor turns either source into an editable statement draft.

A native bank PDF can retain machine-readable text and layout. A scan is an image and requires visual interpretation even when it looks sharp, which introduces more ambiguity.

What Navor reconstructs

The file is read as a statement, not as a block of text.

A statement may run for dozens of pages. A description can continue on the next page, and one debit can contain several beneficiaries or payment references. Navor processes the document page by page with adjacent-page context, preserves statement order, and separates the bank movement from any detail rows beneath it.

Dates, amount direction, opening and closing balances, and available running balances are retained. When the arithmetic in a local section does not reconcile, the draft marks the affected row instead of silently changing the extracted value.

A useful route for company cards

Business-card portals, including portals for Visa and Mastercard cards issued in Switzerland, may provide PDF, CSV, or a paid direct integration. Direct interfaces are generally designed for structured corporate expense programmes. The available options depend on the issuer and the card product. CSV column order also varies, which can complicate imports into traditional accounting software. Navor accepts the monthly PDF, while Navor Agent in the chat can inspect a CSV and prepare its transactions for import.

What Navor handles during statement extraction

01

Statements with dozens of pages

Navor processes long documents in bounded page groups instead of treating the file as one undifferentiated block.

02

Transactions across two pages

When a description or payment detail continues on the next page, Navor uses the adjacent page to rebuild the same transaction.

03

Dates, amounts, and balances

Navor extracts booking dates, value dates, direction, amounts, and available running balances. Balance inconsistencies produce a focused warning.

04

Grouped payments

The total remains the parent bank movement, while beneficiaries and references become linked detail rows in the accounting structure.

Before accounting

Extraction creates a draft, not a finished posting.

The aim is to replace transcription with a focused check. Navor shows the original file beside editable rows and concentrates attention on differences, missing balance context, and unusual sections.

01

Import

Connect the bank or add the statement to the relevant account and fiscal period.

02

Inspect

Check rows, grouped details, page order, and any balance indicators.

03

Correct

Edit, add, hide, restore, or reorder a row while the statement is still a draft.

04

Validate

Only confirmed rows enter accounting, reconciliation, and account assignment.

Practical questions

Which banks can be connected through bLink?+

Navor shows the banks and accounts that are available for the active bLink connection. Coverage is expanding, but it depends on the bank, the account, and the permissions offered. The connection always requires the customer’s explicit authorization.

Does Navor import transactions every day?+

Not automatically at present. The current workflow lets the user start a secure synchronization for connected accounts whenever an update is needed.

Should I upload the original PDF or a scan?+

Use the original PDF downloaded from the bank whenever possible. It preserves the page cleanly. A scan is supported, but low resolution, skew, shadows, or cropped edges can require more review.

What happens to grouped or cross-page transactions?+

Navor keeps the bank total as the parent movement and attaches beneficiaries, references, or sub-payments beneath it without duplicating the amount. If a description continues on the next page, both pages are used to reconstruct one transaction.

How are extracted amounts checked?+

Navor compares rows with available opening, running, and closing balances. If a section does not reconcile or has insufficient balance context, the draft shows a focused review indicator and preserves the extracted value.

What happens after validation?+

Confirmed rows enter accounting. Navor can then reconcile them with supporting documents and continue account assignment for movements that remain open.
