Common signs
How bank-statements.co helps
Use a converter with clear security practices, encrypted upload/storage, deletion controls, and transparent data-use boundaries.
Recommended workflow
-
1. Upload the original statement PDF.
Use the source bank statement rather than a manually edited spreadsheet whenever possible.
-
2. Review extracted rows before import.
Check dates, descriptions, debits, credits, and balances. Pay special attention to ambiguous dates and signed amounts.
-
3. Choose the destination export.
Use QBO for QuickBooks where possible, Xero CSV for Xero, QIF for Quicken, or generic CSV/Excel for review and cleanup.
-
4. Import and reconcile.
Import the converted file into your accounting system, then reconcile against the original statement.
Product roadmap fit
