How to export an ANZ bank statement as CSV for your BAS
ANZ has two experiences. Classic ANZ Internet Banking has a Download option on the transaction list with CSV among the formats. ANZ Plus, the newer app-first accounts, exports from the account settings. The standard ANZ app gives you PDF statements.

Which format to pick
Choose CSV when it is offered. ANZ also provides OFX, QIF and PDF statements; the PDF statements are fine for FlowFi, while OFX and QIF are for other accounting packages and are not needed.
Which dates to pick
Export the whole BAS quarter in one file (1 July to 30 September, 1 October to 31 December, 1 January to 31 March, or 1 April to 30 June) so nothing falls between two exports. For a first upload, start from 1 July so your year-to-date figures are complete. Not sure which quarter you are in? See the BAS due dates.
After you export
Open the file once and check it has a date, a description and an amount for every line, and that it covers the whole period. Then upload it to FlowFi and your quarter is categorised in two minutes: every transaction gets a category and a confidence score, you review only the uncertain ones, GST is flagged per line, likely deductions are marked, and the BAS labels are prepared for you to copy into ATO Online.

Frequently asked questions
Is exporting a ANZ statement safer than connecting a bank feed?
It avoids sharing your ANZ login or granting ongoing access to the account. FlowFi never asks for bank credentials and never touches your money; you export the file yourself and upload it. The trade-off is a minute or two per account each month or quarter.
What if ANZ only gives me a PDF statement?
Upload the PDF. FlowFi reads the transaction table out of PDF statements. CSV is preferred because every line is a clean row, but a monthly PDF statement works, and you can upload all three months of a quarter together.
How far back should I export?
For a first upload, go back to 1 July so your year-to-date income, GST and deductions are complete. After that, export each quarter as it ends, or each month if you like to keep on top of it.
