NatWest + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your NatWest Bank bank statement into Xero? NatWest uses DD/MM/YYYY and separate Paid In and Paid Out columns with a Balance column on the 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.

BankScan AI produces Excel and CSV files formatted for direct import into Xero's bank statement upload feature. Columns match Xero's expected date, description, and amount format. NatWest statements include detailed transaction references that can cause column misalignment in generic converters.
