Dates, amounts and account numbers in Nigeria
Amounts use 1,234.56 with separate Debit and Credit columns; transfer narrations include NIP references. We read the date order from the statement itself and default to DD/MM/YYYY for Nigeria, so 03/04 is never silently swapped.
Accounts are identified by a 10-digit NUBAN. Only the masked or last digits are carried into QBO/OFX files, as those importers expect.
