EBS statements to Xero: what you get

Converting for Xero means the EBS 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 accounts whose feed is delayed, duplicated or broken. Statements from Ireland 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.

Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the EBS transactions are extracted, the converter replays them: opening balance plus each row in turn must reproduce every printed running balance and land exactly on the closing figure. 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.

Read a EBS statement as three zones. The header zone names the account and the period — check those first, because a wrong-period PDF converts beautifully and reconciles against the wrong month. The middle zone is the transaction list itself. 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 Ireland, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero, Sage 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.

Catching up a year of EBS books

Download all twelve periods first and convert them as one batch, then work through the reconciliation results month by month in order. Fix flagged months before importing anything: it is far easier to resolve a difference against twelve tidy statements than inside a year of mixed postings.

Before you use the file

Descriptions arrive in the Description field and counterparties in Payee, which is what makes Xero's find-and-match work well later. Avoid editing either before import; clean data categorizes faster than tidied data.

How to download a statement PDF from EBS

  1. Sign in and open the right account. Statements downloaded from the bank's own portal are the document of record. Avoid email forwards and re-saved copies where you can.
  2. Find where this bank files PDFs. Most banks file statements under the account's Documents, Statements or eStatements tab rather than on the summary screen.
  3. Download the periods you need. Download each period as its own file. The reconciliation check proves one statement at a time, which is what makes a long catch-up provable.
  4. Download or print to PDF. Do not annotate, merge or reprint the file before converting — the reader works best on the document exactly as issued.
  5. Upload and verify. 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: where the portal shows a 'final' or 'corrected' version of a statement, convert that one — reissued statements supersede the original figures.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a EBS statement to Xero?

Get the PDF from EBS'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 EBS statements use?

EBS 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.

Do I need an account to convert a EBS 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 amounts converted into another currency?

No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in € exactly as EBS printed them.

Can I convert statements for several EBS accounts?

Yes — convert each account's statements separately so each one reconciles against its own balances, then combine the exports in your software if you need a single view.

What if EBS only offers paper statements?

Scan the statement as flat and straight as you can and upload the scan. OCR reads it, and the reconciliation check verifies the read against the printed balances; rows it cannot verify are flagged for a manual look.

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.
