HSBC + QuickBooks: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your HSBC UK bank statement into QuickBooks? HSBC uses DD MMM YYYY and single amount column with DR/CR indicators and running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount — QuickBooks expects a single amount column where negative values are money out and positive values are money in) for QuickBooks import.
How BankScan AI Converts HSBC for QuickBooks
Export your converted bank statement as CSV and import directly into QuickBooks via Banking > Upload transactions. BankScan AI formats the columns correctly. HSBC statements often use multi-line transaction descriptions and older PDF formats that generic converters struggle with.
How It Works

Drag and drop your HSBC statement. Supports PDF, scanned PDF with DD MMM YYYY handling.

Our AI parses HSBC's layout, converts dates to DD/MM/YYYY for UK accounts, MM/DD/YYYY for US accounts, and outputs CSV.

In QuickBooks Online, go to Banking > select your account > Link account > Upload from file. Select the CSV from BankScan AI, map the columns (Date, Description, Amount), and import.
