What is it and how does it work?
CODA files, what is it?
CODA is a banking standard which describes the structure of coded electronic statements. These coded statements contain details of both account statements and annexes.
Upon activating CODA, you will receive a summary of all your transactions in CODA format. You can then download and export this information directly into your accounting, ERP or cash flow management system, thereby saving you time and reducing the risk of errors.
