Tide + Xero: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Tide Business Banking bank statement into Xero? Tide uses DD/MM/YYYY and single Amount column with category tags, invoice references, and running balance — 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. Tide business account statements include invoice references and categories that BankScan AI maps to your bookkeeping codes.
