What matters about this format
The difference between a file that imports and a file that is rejected is almost never the extension. It is the column shape, the date format and the size limit.
QuickBooks wants three columns or four, and nothing else
Date, Description, Amount — or Date, Description, Credit, Debit. Anything else is rejected. There is also a 350 KB file size limit, which twelve months of statements will exceed, so we can split the file for you.
Xero wants the opposite: one signed amount column
Xero will not accept split debit and credit columns. Pick Xero as the destination and you get its shape; pick QuickBooks and you get QuickBooks’. This is the single most common reason an import fails.
No thousands separators, ever
A comma inside a number inside a comma-separated file breaks the import. Amounts come out as 1200.00, never 1,200.00.
