What StatementFlow fixes
Tide gives you a clean CSV or a digital PDF statement, but the column names and formats don't match what Xero expects on import. StatementFlow renames the columns, reformats the dates, and cleans any values that would make Xero reject the file - all in your browser, no upload and no OCR.

Common questions
How do I convert a Tide CSV to Xero format?
StatementFlow re-shapes your Tide CSV export into the column layout Xero expects - renaming columns, reformatting dates and cleaning values - entirely in your browser. Typical run time is under a minute. It also reads digital Tide PDF statements the same way.
Is this different from the usual PDF bank statement converters?
Yes. Most PDF converters upload your statement to a server and OCR-guess the numbers off an image. StatementFlow reads the text in a digital PDF or a CSV right in your browser - nothing uploaded, no OCR - and checks every figure against the statement's own balance before you export.
What does StatementFlow change in the Tide export?
Date → Date (reformatted to UK date (DD/MM/YYYY)); Description → Description (trimmed); Debit → Debit (no change); Credit → Credit (no change).
Does my file get uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Your file data never leaves your computer.
