Based in Newcastle, Australia, Greater Bank provides statements to its customers as PDF documents in online banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a CSV file — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
Privacy: uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete your download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes. Files are never used for any other purpose.
The .csv download contains the complete Greater Bank statement as rows and columns of plain text: sortable in a spreadsheet, importable into accounting software, and diff-able in a way a PDF never is.
The main use is feeding scripts, databases and anything that reads delimited text. Statements from Australia banks print dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) — the converter's locale-aware reader handles that layout, and then the reconciliation check proves the result: the extracted transactions must add up to the balances printed on the statement itself, or the conversion is flagged.
Every Greater Bank conversion is audited by the document it came from. The extracted transactions are totalled against the printed opening and closing balances and checked row by row against the running balance column where one is printed. Agreement to the cent means the extraction matches the document. Disagreement means the conversion is flagged — the result says so plainly, with the differing rows marked.
Read a Greater Bank statement as three zones. The header zone names the account and the period — check those first, because a wrong-period PDF converts beautifully and reconciles against the wrong month. The middle zone is the transaction list itself. The closing zone carries the balances and any fees or interest summaries; it is the closing zone the reconciliation check answers to, and the first place to look when a conversion is flagged.
In Australia, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the Xero export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.
Greater Bank is a bank headquartered in Newcastle, Australia — the 16th of the 42 institutions this directory lists for the country — and its statements are issued in $. Greater Bank is not the only directory institution based in Newcastle — Newcastle Permanent also gives it as its headquarters. A shared city merges nothing: statements from each convert separately, on their own figures. No other country's directory on this site lists a Greater Bank institution; the name here belongs to Australia only. In the directory's order Greater Bank sits between Beyond Bank of Adelaide and Newcastle Permanent of Newcastle, and its converter pages are built the same way as theirs — the difference is the statement in front of the checker, not the check. Among Australia's 42 banks, Greater Bank sits 16th, between Beyond Bank of Adelaide and Newcastle Permanent of Newcastle in the directory's order. Read alphabetically, the Australia roster runs from AMP Bank to Westpac, and Greater Bank falls between Great Southern Bank of Brisbane and HSBC Bank Australia of Sydney. Among the 2 institutions headquartered in Newcastle, Greater Bank is listed first, ahead of Newcastle Permanent. The listings around it in the directory — Bank Australia (bank, Melbourne), Beyond Bank (bank, Adelaide), Greater Bank itself (bank), Newcastle Permanent (bank, Newcastle) and People's Choice (bank, Adelaide) — span 3 headquarters cities and 1 institution kind between them; the converter treats each of them exactly as it treats Greater Bank, on its own statement's evidence. Banks make up 42 of the 42 institutions listed for Australia, Greater Bank among them.
A workable rhythm: download the month's PDF the day the period closes, convert it, read the reconciliation verdict, then import. Months proven in order chain together — each closing balance becomes the next month's opening — so a difference is always owned by exactly one month.
A CSV carries no formatting to hide behind, which is its virtue: what you see in a text editor is exactly what an importer will read. If a figure looks wrong in the file, it was flagged in the check — compare that row with the PDF before importing.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: if the bank offers both a statement PDF and a transaction-list PDF, take the statement — it is the one carrying the balances the reconciliation check needs.
Save the statement as a PDF from Greater Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the a CSV file it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Like most banks in Australia, Greater Bank prints dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56). Conversion normalizes dates to an unambiguous form in the output while leaving the figures themselves untouched.
Newcastle Permanent. Each is a separate institution with its own statement layout — a Greater Bank statement converts against Greater Bank's balances only, never against a same-city neighbour's.
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.
Yes. Credit-card statements use a Previous Balance / New Balance layout, which the converter reads as well; purchases are positive and payments are negative, and the same totals check applies.
Yes. Scans and photo-based PDFs are read with OCR and marked as OCR-extracted. The reconciliation check applies identically; on a poor scan it is the check that tells you whether the read can be trusted.
Yes — convert each account's statements separately so each one reconciles against its own balances, then combine the exports in your software if you need a single view.
That depends on the bank's portal — most keep at least a year of PDFs online, and older periods can usually be requested. However far back you go, download each period as its own PDF.
Yes — it is one of the strongest checks available. The converter walks the extracted amounts against the printed running balance row by row, so a single dropped or duplicated transaction is pinpointed instead of merely suspected.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
