Bank Statement → .OFX for Xero Import
Xero's bank feed doesn't cover every bank — especially for international banks, smaller institutions, or older historical statements. CSV import is the reliable fallback. Upload any bank statement PDF and generate an OFX (Open Financial Exchange) file compatible with many accounting tools and banking software. Ideal for importing transactions without manual entry.
