Citibank + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Citigroup / Citibank bank statement into Xero? Citibank uses MM/DD/YYYY and combined statement layout with separate sections for checking, savings, and credit card accounts, each with their own column structures — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount (single column, negative for debits) — or Date, Description, Debit, Credit as separate columns) for Xero import.
