SVB + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Silicon Valley Bank (now First Citizens) bank statement into Xero? SVB uses MM/DD/YYYY and commercial banking format with detailed wire transfer sections showing Originator, Beneficiary, and Reference fields alongside standard Date/Description/Amount columns — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount (single column, negative for debits) — or Date, Description, Debit, Credit as separate columns) for Xero import.
