Headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, Home Bank is a regional bank. Its deposit and card statements are available as PDF downloads in online banking. Bookkeeping, applications and cleanups all start the same way: with the bank-issued statement PDF. This page is the field guide to getting yours out of Home Bank intact.

These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Statement archives are organized by closing date, newest first, and usually searchable or filterable by year. For a full-year catch-up, work the list methodically from the oldest month forward and save each PDF as you go — partial downloads are how gap months happen. If the archive offers a combined or annual document, prefer the individual monthly statements: each one carries its own opening and closing balances, which is what the reconciliation check needs.
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. Home Bank typically prints the period's opening balance first, works through the activity in date order, and closes with the ending balance the transactions must reproduce. Home Bank is a regional bank headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Online access usually ends when an account closes, and with it the self-serve archive. Former customers can typically still obtain statement copies by request — expect identity verification and a research turnaround rather than an instant download. Order them before the cleanup deadline, not during it. When the copies arrive as paper or scans, they convert through the OCR route and are reconciled against their printed balances like any other statement.
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.
Both. The PDF is the record; the converted Excel or CSV is the working file. Sending the pair means any figure can be traced back to the bank's own document in one step.
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.
Usually, yes. The converter detects pages stored rotated and reads them in their displayed orientation; a genuinely sideways scan is reported honestly rather than guessed at. If a page is flagged, re-scanning that page flat and upright is the reliable fix.
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.
