Imported bank transaction dates do not match the date of the transactions in the bank

When importing bank transactions, the dates may differ from those on your bank statement. This is not an error — it is caused by how banking data is structured.

Why dates differ

Banks use two different date types:

  • Booking date: when the transaction is officially recorded in the bank's system.

  • Value date: when the money actually becomes available or unavailable in your account.

Our system receives the booking date through open banking standards, while your bank displays the value date on statements and online banking. This can create date differences between the two.

What this means

Your transaction data remains accurate — it uses a different but equally valid date reference point.

Example

If your bank shows transactions with a January date, but imported transaction dates are in December, reconcile those transactions in December.
