Upload and map columns

  1. Step 1: Go to Payments › Bank import (or press Import bank statement on the payments overview).
  2. Step 2: Choose a .csv or .txt export from your bank (up to 5 MB). Comma, semicolon and tab separators are detected automatically.
  3. Step 3: Under Which column holds what?, check Date and Amount (required), and Payer name, Payer account and Reference if your file has them. Most bank headers are recognised automatically.
  4. Step 4: Use Debit / credit only if amounts have no minus sign. Untick First row is a header if your file starts with data.
  5. Step 5: Check the preview and press Import N transactions.

How matching works

What Kelvo Nest findsWhat happens
An invoice number in the reference or payer namePayment recorded automatically
Payer name of a resident + an exact invoice or debt amountSuggested, high confidence
Payer name of a resident onlySuggested, medium confidence
The only open invoice with that amountSuggested, low confidence
Messy reference or name the rules can't placeAI checks it; see AI bank matching
NothingWaits for you to assign it

Outgoing payments are listed under Ignored. Rows already imported in an earlier file go to Duplicates, so overlapping statements are safe.

Work through the review queue

  • Accept takes the suggestion. Accept high-confidence (≥ 85%) does it in bulk.
  • Assign… lets you pick the unit and, optionally, the invoice to pay first.
  • Ignore skips a row; Restore brings ignored or duplicate rows back.
  • Under Matched, Void undoes a recorded payment and sends the row back to review.
  • If nothing from an import was matched yet, Discard import removes it so you can import the file again.
