Why Validate Bank Statements Before Import?

Avoid Reconciliation Issues

Bad bank imports create reconciliation nightmares. Wrong dates, invalid amounts, or encoding issues cause transactions to not match. Validating first catches these.

What This Tool Checks

We validate your bank statement CSV against Xero requirements: - Required Date and Amount fields present - Regional date formats (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY) - Amount is valid number (positive=received, negative=paid) - Max 1,000 transactions per file - UTF-8 encoding You get a detailed error report with row numbers to fix issues.
