    I actually understand why you can't allow programmatic access to data you are importing from banks (due to contracts with the likes of Yodlee/Plaid).

    I do not understand why you can't provide APIs for adding our own bank statements. I could do what I want to do, export a CSV and upload it to Xero - why not just let us do it via API though.

    I suppose if you do support this, you SHOULD support letting us manage these bank statement lines via API as well, but with a big red asterisk that says "WE CAN'T LET YOU READ/MODIFY/DELETE DATA WE PAY FOR". I'm fine with that for now.
