Downloading statements sounds trivial until a year of them has to agree with itself. This guide covers the Bank of Hawaii archive properly: where statements live, which file to take, and how to keep a long download complete.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Not everything statements monthly. Savings-only and some member accounts may statement quarterly, and some banks issue combined statements that cover several accounts in one PDF. A combined document converts account by account — each account's section has its own balances — so download it once and convert each account's pages as its own statement.
Expect the standard regional-bank set: monthly statements for checking and savings with opening and closing balances and a running balance on most layouts, card statements on the Previous / New Balance pattern where the bank issues its own cards, and periodic statements for CDs and money market accounts. Each type converts separately, against its own balances. A Bank of Hawaii statement typically runs as one dated history — deposits, withdrawals and fees in posting order — with the balance shown per transaction on most layouts. Bank of Hawaii (Honolulu, Hawaii) files its statements in the documents area of online banking, organized by account and closing date.
If the account still receives paper statements, the fastest upgrade in any bookkeeping workflow is switching it to eStatements in Bank of Hawaii online banking (website and app) — every future month then exists as a first-generation PDF. For months already past, paper scans convert through OCR with the same balance check; scan flat, straight and at a steady resolution, and review flagged rows against the image. Avoid the middle option — printing an online statement to paper and scanning it back — which destroys the digital original for no benefit.
Yes — that is the normal flow. Download the PDFs and send them as issued; your bookkeeper converts and verifies them. Never send online banking passwords; statements are all a bookkeeper needs from the bank.
Usually the download was interrupted, or the file is a print-view export rather than the issued PDF. Re-download from the statements area; if the bank offers both a print and a PDF option, take the PDF.
Many banks offer a transaction download in CSV or OFX alongside the PDF statements. That covers recent activity, but the PDF statement remains the document with balances — the thing reconciliation is checked against.
Yes, the app reaches the same archive, and for a month or two it is the quickest route. For a year of history the website is usually faster: a deeper archive view, several downloads in a row, and files that land somewhere you can name and file properly.
Thirteen per account: the twelve months of the year plus the December statement before it, whose closing balance proves the year's opening figure. Add any account that was open for part of the year, including ones closed mid-year.
