• Data Transakcji (Transaction Date): The date on which the transaction occurred.
• Opis Operacji (Description/Narration): The details provided by the bank describing the transaction.
• Obciążenia (Debits): Amounts deducted from your account.

Working with Your PKO Bank Polski Xero CSV File

Once you have your Xero CSV file, the primary use is direct import into your Xero accounting software. Xero provides specific guidance on importing bank statements, and our CSV output adheres to its expected format. This enables you to quickly update your bank feeds and begin the reconciliation process.

Importing into Xero

After downloading your CSV, navigate to the relevant bank account in Xero. When importing, Xero will guide you through mapping the columns from your CSV to its own fields. Our generated file uses standard headers, simplifying this mapping process.

• Matching Transactions: Xero will attempt to automatically match imported transactions with existing invoices, bills, or other entries.
• Categorizing Transactions: For unmatched transactions, you can easily create new rules or manually assign expense accounts, revenue accounts, and tax rates directly within Xero's reconciliation screen.
• Reconciling Bank Accounts: The goal is to match every imported bank line to an accounting entry, ensuring your bank balance in Xero matches your actual PKO Bank Polski balance.

Example PKO Bank Polski Transaction Data in Xero CSV Format

Below is a simplified example of how PKO Bank Polski transaction data appears in the Xero CSV output, ready for import. Note the use of the Polish Złoty (PLN) currency symbol.

Date	Description	Amount	Reference	Payee
15/05/2024	Przelew wychodzący - Opłata za hosting	-120.00 PLN	HOST001	ABC Hosting Sp. z o.o.
16/05/2024	Wpływ wynagrodzenia - Usługi konsultingowe	3500.00 PLN	INV2024-05-01	XYZ Firma
17/05/2024	Płatność kartą - Artykuły biurowe	-75.50 PLN	CARD1234	Biuro Serwis

The 'Amount' column typically combines debits and credits, with debits (outflows) represented as negative values and credits (inflows) as positive values, which is a common convention for Xero imports. The 'Reference' and 'Payee' columns are often populated from the transaction description to aid categorization.

Does it work with scanned PKO Bank Polski statements?

Yes, the converter is designed to process both digitally generated and scanned PKO Bank Polski PDF statements. Our optical character recognition (OCR) technology can accurately read text from scanned images, converting it into structured data. After extraction, the system performs a validation check, comparing the sum of all extracted transactions with the opening and closing balances reported on the statement. This helps ensure that no transactions are missed and that the data is accurate, even for image-based PDFs.

Data Security and Privacy

Your privacy and the security of your financial data are paramount. When you upload your PKO Bank Polski statement, the PDF file is processed securely. We do not store your financial data or the uploaded PDFs on our servers after the conversion is complete. All uploaded files are automatically deleted shortly after processing. We do not use your data for any training purposes or share it with third parties. This ensures your confidential information remains private.
