Quick answer

What a Bank of America bank statement looks like
Bank of America statements summarise Deposits and other additions, ATM and debit card subtractions, Other subtractions, Checks and Service fees before listing each section with a running total.
US statements usually open with an account summary (beginning balance, deposits, withdrawals, fees, ending balance) followed by transaction sections and a daily balance table.
How to convert a Bank of America statement
- Sign in to Online Banking under Statements & Documents and download the statement for the period you need as a PDF (not a screenshot).
- If the PDF is password-protected, open it and save an unprotected copy first.
- Upload one or several months to StatementPilot. Scanned or photographed statements are read with OCR.
- Check the reconciliation panel: the "Beginning balance" plus deposits minus withdrawals should equal the "Ending balance".
- Export to Excel or CSV for analysis, or QBO/OFX/QIF to import into QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and Quicken.
Dates, amounts and account numbers in the US
Amounts use a period for decimals and commas for thousands (1,234.56). Withdrawals are often shown with a minus sign or in a separate column. We read the date order from the statement itself and default to MM/DD/YYYY for United States, so 03/04 is never silently swapped.
Only the last four digits of the account number are printed on most pages; the full routing number appears on checks, not in transaction rows. Only the masked or last digits are carried into QBO/OFX files, as those importers expect.
Importing Bank of America transactions into your accounting software
Accountants in the US most often import into QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Quicken and Xero. Choose QBO for QuickBooks, the Xero CSV for Xero, OFX for most other packages, or Excel/CSV for anything else.
When your bank feed only goes back a few months, converted Bank of America statements fill the gap for older periods without manual typing.
Why statements are still needed
Banks must provide periodic statements under Regulation E for electronic transfers, and most keep 7 years of PDF statements available online.
