MultiCash format
What is a MultiCash (.STA) bank statement
Unlike GPC, MultiCash carries foreign currency, which makes it the usual route for euro and dollar accounts. The .STA file follows the SWIFT MT940 structure; here is what each tag in it means.

What an .STA file looks like
The statement is a text file split into blocks marked with tags. Each tag starts with a colon and a number followed by the value.
- :20: statement reference number
- :25: account identification, usually an IBAN or account number
- :28C: statement sequence number
- :60F: opening balance with a credit or debit mark, date and currency
- :61: a single transaction with date, direction and amount
- :86: additional transaction details such as description and counterparty
- :62F: closing balance
MultiCash and GPC
GPC is a CZK format with a fixed line length. MultiCash carries the currency in its balances, so it also suits EUR, USD or GBP accounts and payment services that do not support the domestic format.
Where MultiCash is imported
In POHODA through a Homebanking service assigned to the bank account, in Money S3 through statement import with the MultiCash service. The service set on the account always decides; the extension alone is not enough.
MultiCash from a PDF statement
VýpisFlow creates MultiCash for all 20 verified banks and payment services, including Revolut, Wise and Paysera. It assembles the balance and transaction blocks only after checking that the sum of transactions equals the difference between the balances.
What to watch out for with MultiCash
MultiCash is more forgiving than GPC, but a few rules still apply, and imports most often fail on them.
- One file should contain one statement of one account in one currency.
- The :60F: and :62F: balances carry C for a positive and D for a negative balance; their currency must match the account currency in your accounting software.
- The :86: details have a limited length, so a long payment description may be shortened. Keep the original PDF.
- File lines end with CR LF, as is usual for this format; do not edit the file in an editor that changes line endings.
Frequently asked questions
Is every .sta file a MultiCash statement?
No. The .sta extension is used elsewhere too. The content decides: MT940 blocks with the account, balances and transactions.
Does MultiCash carry the variable symbol?
Symbols and references travel in the additional transaction details. How they are processed depends on the import service of your accounting software.
Can I use MultiCash for Revolut?
Yes. For Revolut and other payment services, MultiCash and POHODA XML are the main VýpisFlow outputs.
