Private by design. Your uploaded PDF is processed in memory to create the CSV and is not stored.
Always review before importing. Compare totals and a sample of transactions with the original statement before reconciliation, tax filing, or accounting import.
Why U.S. Bank statements don't import into Xero directly
Xero imports bank data from CSV, not PDF, so a U.S. Bank statement has to be converted first. U.S. Bank shows a daily balance summary alongside transactions; the converter uses the per-row running balance where present. You get one clean, Xero-ready ledger instead of fighting merged cells and split columns.
How to import a U.S. Bank statement into Xero
- 1. Convert the statement. Upload your U.S. Bank statement PDF and download the categorized CSV.
- 2. Go to the bank account. In Xero: Accounting → Bank accounts → your account → Manage → Import a Statement.
- 3. Map & import. Match Date, Amount, and Description to the CSV columns and import.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I import a U.S. Bank PDF into Xero directly?
- No. Xero imports CSV, not PDF. Convert your U.S. Bank statement to CSV first, then import it.
- Is my U.S. Bank statement stored anywhere?

- What CSV format does Xero need?
- Xero needs a Date column, an Amount column (signed), and a Description or Payee column. The converter outputs exactly these.
