Private by design. Your uploaded PDF is processed in memory to create the CSV and is not stored.
Always review before importing. Compare totals and a sample of transactions with the original statement before reconciliation, tax filing, or accounting import.
Why Monzo statements don't import into Sage directly
Sage imports bank data from CSV, not PDF, so a Monzo statement has to be converted first. Monzo emoji-tags categories in-app; the converter maps them onto a plain category set that spreadsheets and accounting tools understand. You get one clean, Sage-ready ledger instead of fighting merged cells and split columns.
