THREE WAYS IN
How do bank statements get into QuickBooks?
Every tool below uses one of three routes. Which one you need depends on your QuickBooks.
| Route | What you upload | Tools that make the file |
|---|---|---|
| QuickBooks Online bank upload | A CSV with Date, Description and Amount | ZeraBooks (QuickBooks-ready layout); Hubdoc (CSV for QuickBooks); DocuClipper, ProperSoft and AutoEntry (CSV) |
| Web Connect file | A .QBO file | DocuClipper, MoneyThumb, ProperSoft, AutoEntry |
| QuickBooks’ own bank feed | Nothing; the bank connects to QuickBooks | QuickBooks itself, for connected banks; statements fill the months a feed misses |
From each vendor’s own pages; Hubdoc reads U.S. and Canadian statements only, and AutoEntry’s .qbo download asks you to confirm the currency. QuickBooks Desktop users importing a CSV can follow import a CSV file into QuickBooks Desktop.

Does a .QBO file matter?

Can QuickBooks import a PDF bank statement directly?
QuickBooks Online reads a CSV, QBO, QFX or OFX file in its bank upload, not the PDF itself. A converter turns the PDF into one of those first.
Does ZeraBooks connect to QuickBooks?
No. You download the QuickBooks-ready CSV and upload it in QuickBooks Online. Many businesses skip the import by keeping the books in ZeraBooks instead; see the QuickBooks alternative page.
Why won’t my CSV import into QuickBooks Online?
Usually a date QuickBooks can’t read, money in and out split across two columns it wasn’t told about, or extra header lines. The QuickBooks-ready layout avoids all three.
Which converter is best for Xero or Sage instead?
ZeraBooks makes Xero-ready and Sage-ready layouts too; imports for every package are ranked on the best PDF to CSV converter for bank statements page, and every tool on the best bank statement converter hub.
