Questions and answers

How do I convert a Business First Bank statement to Excel?

Download the statement PDF from Business First Bank online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the an Excel (.xlsx) workbook. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.

Does the converter work with Business First Bank credit-card statements?

Yes. Credit-card statements use a Previous Balance / New Balance layout, which the converter reads as well; purchases are positive and payments negative. There is also a dedicated Business First Bank credit-card statement page.

How do I download a PDF statement from Business First Bank?

Sign in to online banking, open the account, find Statements or Documents, choose the period, and download the PDF. The step-by-step section on this page describes the general pattern most banks use.

What does the reconciliation check do?

Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.

Are my statement files kept?

No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
