Bank of America + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Bank of America bank statement into Xero? Bank of America uses MM/DD/YYYY and multi-section layout with Deposits and Other Credits, Withdrawals and Other Debits, Checks, and Daily Balances in separate sections — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount (single column, negative for debits) — or Date, Description, Debit, Credit as separate columns) for Xero import.
