# Processing N43 files

The [Norma 43](https://norma43.net/) (N43) standard is an electronic bank statement format used in Spain. A single N43 file can contain multiple transactions. In FinDock, the file is captured as a Transaction Set record with each reported transaction represented by a Transaction record related to the set.

To process N43 files, you need to the [SEPA Direct Debit payment extension](/docs/payment-processors/configuring-sepa-dd) and a [configured target](/docs/payment-processors/configuring-sepa-dd#add-sepa-targets) corresponding to the bank account details in the N43 file. Once your configuration is ready, follow the [standard procedure](/docs/reconciliation/processing-bank-statements) to reconcile transactions from N43 files.
