Statement notes

What to know about Bank of America statements

Deposits and withdrawals in separate sections

Instead of one running list, activity is grouped: deposits in one section, withdrawals in another. Copying section by section is slow and easy to get wrong. The converter brings every section into one table with a single amount column, deposits positive and withdrawals negative, so you can sort the whole statement by date.

Ordered copies don't stay online long

Statements older than 18 months can be ordered back seven years. Bank of America says ordered copies arrive online within 24 to 36 hours and stay accessible for seven days, so download them as soon as they appear. Then upload them with your newer statements to confirm the run of months is complete.

Check images add pages, not rows

Online statements include check images. They help when you need to prove who a check was paid to, but they don't add transactions: each check is already a line in the activity, and that line is what becomes a row in your spreadsheet.

Balances sit in the summary

On a multi-page statement, the beginning and ending balances sit in a summary, often pages away from the last transaction line. Those two figures are what the rows are tested against. If beginning balance plus deposits minus withdrawals doesn't reach the ending balance, you're told before you export.

Accounting tip

Keep business and personal accounts in separate imports. In QuickBooks Online or Xero, upload one month's CSV at a time, check the column mapping on the first import, and reconcile to the statement's ending balance before loading the next month.

  • Checked before export

    Opening balance plus transactions is checked against the closing balance. Duplicate or missing periods are flagged.

    Excel, CSV, JSON, or QuickBooks and Xero CSV.

FAQ

Bank of America statement questions

Can I convert a Bank of America credit card statement?
Yes, from the PDF. For recent card activity there's another option: card customers can request up to 12 months of detailed transaction information, and can download transactions for financial software. Converting the statement suits older periods, or when the statement itself is what you need to match.
Do business statements convert the same way?
Yes. Business statements are often longer, with more deposits and more checks, so the time saved is bigger. They come out in the same columns with the same balance test. Try the first page free, then pay for the document or subscribe if you convert every month.
Can I import converted Bank of America rows into QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. Review the rows, then export a QuickBooks or Xero CSV.
