Bank of Ireland + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Bank of Ireland UK bank statement into Xero? Bank of Ireland uses DD/MM/YYYY and two-column Debit and Credit layout with Balance column, following Irish banking conventions — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount (single column, negative for debits) — or Date, Description, Debit, Credit as separate columns) for Xero import.
