For multi-currency statements, ZeraBooks is the simpler choice: the ZeraBooks bank statement converter splits a mixed PDF by account and proves each one against its printed balances. Dext and AutoEntry both work one foreign-currency account at a time. Dext wants one account per file; AutoEntry charges 3 credits a page and its QuickBooks Desktop export is USD only.

ZERABOOKS, ON THE SAME JOB
Here is ZeraBooks Convert on the same job: 3 sample statements from Monzo, RBC and CommBank, fictional and each already proven to the cent against its printed balances. Tick them, download once, and you get All details - 3 documents.csv: 40 transactions in one sheet, with the account and source file on every row.

IN DEXT
Dext ties the currency to the bank account, so the account comes first. Only Admin users can do this.
Go to Business settings > Business profile and look at Base currency. Changing it later only affects new documents, so set it before the first upload.
Go to Bank > Accounts, select Add bank account, choose Manually and select Continue. Pick the bank, then enter the account name, account number and the account’s currency, for example EUR.
If the bank sends one PDF covering a USD and a EUR account, cut it into one file per account. Dext wants one statement for a single account in each file.
Select Add Documents, switch to the Bank tab, choose the matching account and drop in the file. It shows under Bank > Statements > Collected, then Processed.
Export the CSV from the Bank workspace. For Xero clients on a Practice plan with the Data Health add-on, the bank reconciliation check can show totals in the native or base currency.
IN AUTOENTRY
AutoEntry asks about currency at the export, not the upload. These are its QuickBooks Online steps.
Upload the PDF and choose the Bank Statements folder. Track it in the Activity tab; it lands in the Bank Statements Inbox when done.
Open the statement in the Bank Statements Inbox, download it and choose “QuickBooks Online - Web Connect File (.qbo)”.
In the pop-up, the account number fills in on its own. Check the currency is right; the other fields are for QuickBooks Desktop.
In QuickBooks Online, go to Banking, click File Upload at the top right, choose the file, click Next, check the account, click Next and then Let’s Go.
QuickBooks Desktop takes the .qbo through File > Utilities > Import > Web Connect Files, but AutoEntry says USD is the only supported currency there. For Xero, pick the Xero download and use Import a Statement on the bank account.
WORKED EXAMPLE
Harbor & Pine Imports is a fictional importer. Its bank sends one monthly PDF: a USD checking account on 4 pages and a EUR account on 2. USD: 48,210.75 + 22,400.00 − 19,865.30 = 50,745.45 closing. EUR: 12,400.00 + 3,150.00 − 2,870.50 = 12,679.50 closing.
| Dext | AutoEntry | ZeraBooks Convert | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Files to upload | 2 (split by account first) | 1 | 1 |
| Accounts to set up | 2, each with its currency | Currency confirmed at export | None |
| What the month uses | 6 pages or 2 statements, inside the 10 free sheets | 6 pages × 3 credits = 18 credits | 6 of 1,000 pages |
| Cost of that usage | Included in the Business plan | 18 × $0.26 = $4.68 on Bronze, 32 credits left | Included in the plan |
| Checked against both closing balances | Not described | Not described | Yes, 50,745.45 and 12,679.50 |
One client like this is cheap anywhere. The differences show at volume and in the work around it: splitting PDFs for Dext, paying for blank and summary pages on AutoEntry, which charges every uploaded page, and checking each account’s closing balance yourself where the tool doesn’t.
WHY AMOUNTS DIFFER
Dext and AutoEntry convert receipts and invoices at the rate for the document’s date. The bank or card uses its own rate and may add a fee. An illustration with a made-up rate:
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| Supplier invoice, dated March 3 | EUR 250.00 |
| Converted at the document-date rate (1.0800, illustrative) | USD 270.00 |
| Card charge on the statement, rate plus a 1% fee (270.00 × 1.01) | USD 272.70 |
| Difference to explain | USD 2.70 |
Dext’s own help says the converted amount may differ from the bank statement for exactly these reasons. The bank statement is the record of what left the account, so match to it and book the difference as a bank fee or exchange difference, as your accountant prefers.
WITH ZERABOOKS
ZeraBooks Convert reads statements; it doesn’t convert currencies. That keeps the file honest to the bank.
ONE UPLOAD
Upload the whole PDF. Convert finds each account on it, gives each its own group of transactions and proves each against the balances printed for it. Download with Split set to One per account and each currency lands in its own file, ready for the matching bank account in your software. Going to Xero? See bank statement to Xero.
Bank and credit card statements
AS PRINTED
Amounts come out as plain numbers, exactly as the statement printed them, with no currency sign and no conversion. Your accounting software or accountant applies the rates. For QuickBooks Online, the steps are on how to import a PDF bank statement into QuickBooks.

MORE REVIEWS AND COMPARISONS
Dext lets you add a bank account in any currency by hand and upload statements to it, one account per file. It converts receipts and invoices to your base currency at the document date’s rate. Its help doesn’t describe converting statement lines.
It extracts them at 3 credits a page, and you confirm the currency when downloading a .qbo file for QuickBooks Online. For QuickBooks Desktop, AutoEntry’s help says USD is the only supported currency. Excel, CSV and Xero downloads are also offered.
For a few pages a month, both are cheap: Dext includes 10 free sheets on its Business plan, and AutoEntry’s 50-credit plan is $13 a month, about 16 statement pages. At volume, AutoEntry’s 3 credits a page adds up; Dext’s add-on is $0.32 a statement document. Prices checked October 22, 2026. ZeraBooks includes 1,000 pages a month for $79 billed annually, with every statement proven.
No. ZeraBooks Convert keeps every amount as the statement printed it and applies no exchange rate. It splits a PDF with several accounts by account and proves each one against its printed balances. For reconciling foreign accounts in the books, see multi-currency bank reconciliation.
Neither Dext’s nor AutoEntry’s help covers that case. Dext’s one-account-per-file rule means splitting it first. ZeraBooks Convert takes the whole PDF and splits it by account. Comparing more tools? See the best bank statement converter roundup.
