BAI2 to CSV converter — ValidConvert

BAI2 → CSV

Export supported BAI2 v2 monetary transactions to predictable CSV rows for analysis and import.

Purpose

What this converter does

The BAI2 reader validates US-ASCII, record structure and control totals before writing the common generic-v1 CSV layout.

Workflow fit

When this route is useful

Useful for reconciliation scripts and accounting imports that consume transaction-level rows rather than BAI2 files.

Implementation note

What to expect

BAI2 record 03 balances and summaries are not turned into transactions. A file with no exportable monetary transactions cannot produce a billable empty CSV.

BAI2 v2: scope and prerequisites

Can CSV include BAI2 account summaries as transactions?

No. CSV exports eligible monetary transactions to the fixed generic-v1 64-column layout. BAI2 record 03 summaries and balances are not fabricated as movements; files with no exportable monetary transactions are rejected.

What kind of BAI2 input is supported?

Only supported BAI Cash Management Balance Reporting v2 (2005) in strict US-ASCII is accepted. File extensions .bai2, .bai and .txt are hints, not proof of validity. BAI1, BAI3 and proprietary bank variants are not promised.

Will missing financial facts be filled in automatically?

No. For CAMT.053, OFX and MT940 outputs you may need to confirm BOOKED status, dates, balances or statement completeness from genuine evidence. Never attest a value you cannot verify. The backend checks the file again when converting.

Does inspection consume credits or trial uses?

Authenticated BAI2 inspection for CAMT.053, OFX or MT940 preparation is free; a successful conversion follows the usual trial or prepaid-credit rules. Inspection readiness does not guarantee a successful output.

Important BAI2 limitationsBank-specific dialects and universal or lossless conversion are not guaranteed. The source may lack the facts needed by the chosen destination; an unsupported or unverifiable statement must be rejected rather than guessed.
