On the Santander website or app, select the account, filter the dates and download the transactions as Excel; then upload the file to Aurio from Accounts. Aurio recognises the table (transaction date, description and amount in euros) and shows you a review before saving. Santander lets you download up to two years of transactions.
How to download your Santander statement
- On the web, go to “Acceso clientes” and select the account. In the app, open your Posición Global and select the account.
- Filter by the dates you need (in the app, from “Filtros”).
- Tap “Descargar” and choose Excel.
- In Aurio, go to Accounts → Import, choose the destination account and upload the file as it is.
Online banking menus change from time to time. If you cannot find an option, check the official Santander help.
Which format to choose for Aurio
Recommended format: Excel (XLS). Formats Santander offers: Excel (XLS), PDF.
The Santander Excel file has a couple of information rows before the table (FECHA OPERACIÓN, FECHA VALOR, CONCEPTO, IMPORTE EUR, SALDO). Aurio skips them, uses the transaction date, the description and the signed amount, and ignores the running balance.
We tested this format with a synthetic sample file (no real data) that mirrors the columns of the Santander statement. If Santander changes its file layout and something looks off, the review will show you before anything is saved.
What Aurio does when you import
- Before anything is saved you get a review of every transaction: date, amount and description, so you can fix whatever needs fixing.
- If you upload a period you already imported, repeated transactions are flagged as duplicates in the review.
- Each transaction is categorised automatically: first with your rules and Aurio's, then, if needed, with AI on tokenised data, never with your name or IBAN.
- If the file does not say which amounts are spending and which are income, Aurio warns you instead of silently guessing.
- You do not need to connect your bank or give us your credentials: you download the file and decide what to upload.
