Metro Bank + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Metro Bank bank statement into Xero? Metro Bank uses DD/MM/YYYY and two-column Payments In and Payments Out with running balance on the far right — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount (single column, negative for debits) — or Date, Description, Debit, Credit as separate columns) for Xero import.
