AIB + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your AIB UK (Allied Irish Banks) bank statement into Xero? AIB uses DD/MM/YYYY and Irish banking format with separate Debit and Credit columns plus running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount (single column, negative for debits) — or Date, Description, Debit, Credit as separate columns) for Xero import.
How BankScan AI Converts AIB for Xero
BankScan AI produces Excel and CSV files formatted for direct import into Xero's bank statement upload feature. Columns match Xero's expected date, description, and amount format. AIB UK statements serve Northern Ireland customers with a format that differs from mainland UK banks. BankScan AI parses both GBP and EUR transactions.
