Convert bank statements to Xero
Drop a PDF statement and download the file Xero imports directly (OFX or Xero CSV). Converted on your computer, reconciled against the printed balances, never uploaded.
How to import into Xero
- Drop the PDF (or scan) above and check the badge reads Reconciled.
- Download OFX or Xero CSV. OFX files are part of Pro. The 3-day trial unlocks them and needs no card. CSV is on the free plan.
- In Xero: Accounting → Bank accounts → Manage account → Import a statement, choose the file, and map or confirm the columns.
- Review the imported transactions and reconcile as usual. Full walkthrough: guide.
Why OFX or Xero CSV
Xero imports OFX directly with no column mapping, or a CSV in its template columns (*Date, *Amount, Payee, Description, Reference). Rowledger produces both.
Questions
Is the statement uploaded to convert it for Xero?
No. Rowledger runs inside your browser; the PDF never leaves your computer. You can convert with the internet disconnected.
Which format should I use for Xero?
Xero imports OFX directly with no column mapping, or a CSV in its template columns (*Date, *Amount, Payee, Description, Reference). Rowledger produces both.
What if the statement is a scan?
Rowledger OCRs scans and photos on your device, then checks every row against the printed balances so OCR slips are flagged instead of imported.
How are duplicates avoided?
QBO and OFX exports carry a deterministic unique ID per transaction, so importing the same statement twice does not create duplicates. For CSV imports, exclude overlapping rows in the accounting software.
