MOVE Bank statements to Xero: what you get

Converting for Xero means the MOVE Bank transactions arrive in Xero's own statement format: one row per transaction, amounts signed the way Xero wants them, ready to upload against the matching bank account in the ledger.

The main use is getting statement lines into Xero when no live bank feed covers the account. Statements from Australia banks print dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) — the converter's locale-aware reader handles that layout, and then the reconciliation check proves the result: the extracted transactions must add up to the balances printed on the statement itself, or the conversion is flagged.

Every MOVE Bank conversion is audited by the document it came from. The extracted transactions are totalled against the printed opening and closing balances and checked row by row against the running balance column where one is printed. A conversion only reports as reconciled when both tests agree to the cent — and when they do, the figures have been proven against the bank's own document, not merely read from it.

Two habits make MOVE Bank statements easier to work with. First, convert the issued PDF rather than a portal screen print — print views paginate differently and can drop the balance lines the check needs. In a sectioned layout — deposits, then withdrawals, then fees — compare section totals first. Knowing which layout you hold tells you where to look before the marked rows even load.

In Australia, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the Xero export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.

Working from MOVE Bank statements as a bookkeeper

Ask clients for the issued PDFs rather than portal screenshots or spreadsheet exports. The PDF is the only version that carries the balances the check needs, and a folder of monthly PDFs plus their conversion results is an audit trail that assembles itself.

Before you use the file

If Xero reports duplicate statement lines on upload, a period has been imported before — usually through a feed that later started working. Delete the newer import rather than the older one if the older is already reconciled.

How to download a statement PDF from MOVE Bank

  1. Sign in to MOVE Bank online banking. Statements downloaded from the bank's own portal are the document of record. Avoid email forwards and re-saved copies where you can.
  2. Pick the account and the month. Most banks file statements under the account's Documents, Statements or eStatements tab rather than on the summary screen.
  3. Choose the statement period. One PDF per statement period converts cleanest. For a full year, download all twelve periods before you start.
  4. Save the PDF unchanged. A downloaded PDF carries the text layer the converter reads. If the portal only offers a print view, print to PDF instead of taking a picture.
  5. Upload the PDF here. Add the file to the converter on this page. You can add several statement PDFs at once for batch conversion.

These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.

Tip: a statement that covers a partial period (account opened or closed mid-month) still converts and reconciles; its balances simply anchor a shorter chain.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a MOVE Bank statement to Xero?

Get the PDF from MOVE Bank's statements area, upload it here, and download the converted a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description). The converter reads the transactions, standardizes the columns and verifies the totals against the statement before the file is ready.

What date and number formats do MOVE Bank statements use?

MOVE Bank statements generally print dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56). The converter reads the figures as printed and normalizes the output columns the same way for every bank.

What does the reconciliation check do?

Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.

What columns does the converted file have?

Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a MOVE Bank file and a file from any other bank in Australia can be imported and reviewed the same way.

What happens if my MOVE Bank statement does not reconcile?

The conversion is flagged, and the rows whose running balance disagrees with the statement are marked with the expected and printed figures. Nothing is silently adjusted — you see exactly where the statement and the extraction part company.

Can I convert a scanned MOVE Bank statement?

Yes. Scans and photo-based PDFs are read with OCR and marked as OCR-extracted. The reconciliation check applies identically; on a poor scan it is the check that tells you whether the read can be trusted.

Do I need an account to convert a MOVE Bank statement?

No. There is no sign-up: upload the PDF, check the reconciliation result, download the file. Uploaded files and exports are deleted automatically within 15 minutes.

Which file should I upload — the PDF or a portal CSV export?

The statement PDF. It is the issued document and it carries the opening and closing balances the reconciliation check verifies against; a portal CSV has the transactions but nothing to prove them against.

Are my statement files kept?

No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
