Handelsbanken Statement Format
Handelsbanken PDF statements use a specific format that differs from other Swedish banks. The key characteristics include:
- Dates in
YYYY-MM-DDformat (ISO standard) - Swedish number formatting with space as thousands separator and comma for decimals (e.g.,
1 234,56) - Transaction date and booking date shown separately
- Account number, period, and balance in the header section
Our Handelsbanken parser is specifically built to handle these formatting details. It has been tested with statements containing over 700 transactions across 16+ pages, achieving 90%+ confidence scores consistently.
