Manager supports these bank statement formats:
• **Most reliable**: QIF, OFX, QFX, QBO, STA, SWI, 940, IIF, CAMT530
• **Less reliable**: XML, CSV (due to non-standard formats)
• **Not supported**: PDF (designed for human reading, not data processing)
Manager automatically interprets various CSV column layouts despite the lack of standardization.
