Extract text from BS1 files
To convert your BS1 file to another format, you need Betalingsservice or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Financial Data Exchange" file type, you need software like Betalingsservice or a similar tool.
The .BS1 file extension represents two very different data types, but the most critical business use case is a Payment Service Data file associated with Danish Betalingsservice (often managed by Nets / Mastercard Payment Services).
For businesses operating in Denmark, this file is a crucial component of the Betalingsservice (Direct Debit) ecosystem. It typically contains batch transaction data, debtor mandates, or payment status updates exchanged between a company's payroll/ERP system and the clearing house.
The Problem: These files are generated in a strict, proprietary flat-file or legacy format designed for automated banking servers, not humans. They often lack headers, use fixed-width columns, and may contain encoded strings. Attempting to open them in standard editors like Microsoft Excel usually results in a jumbled wall of text that is impossible to audit manually.
The Solution:
A secondary, niche use for this extension is within the VirtualBus vehicle simulator. Here, the .BS1 file acts as a Vehicle Configuration File, storing physics parameters, engine definitions, and route settings for custom buses. These are plain text files but are useless outside the game environment.
Recommendation:
If you are a finance professional, do not attempt to edit the raw .BS1 file manually, as shifting a single character can cause the bank to reject the entire batch.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BS1 converter.
