People First Bank statements to Excel: what you get

This export rebuilds the People First Bank statement as an Excel workbook: clean columns, consistent date format, signed amounts, and a summary of the reconciliation check at the top, so whoever opens the file can see both the data and that it was verified.

The main use is sharing clean figures with a client, partner or adviser who works in Excel. 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.

The check itself is simple arithmetic, applied without exception: add the opening balance to every extracted transaction and compare the result with the closing balance printed on the People First Bank statement, then walk the running balances row by row. 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 People First 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. In a sectioned layout — deposits, then withdrawals, then fees — compare section totals first. Knowing which layout you hold tells you where to look before the marked rows even load.

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.

Keeping evidence with the conversion

File three things together for every {bank} month: the statement PDF, the converted file, and the reconciliation outcome. Anyone reviewing the work later — a partner, an auditor, a tax adviser — can re-perform the month from that trio without asking you anything.

Before you use the file

Sort and filter the Excel export freely — but keep an untouched copy of the file as downloaded. Workings belong in copies; the downloaded workbook, with its summary block, is the version that proves what the statement said.

How to download a statement PDF from People First Bank

  1. Sign in to People First Bank online banking. Open the People First Bank app or website and sign in. Statement PDFs sit behind the login — there is no public download.
  2. Go to the account, then its documents. Look for Statements, Documents, Mailbox or eStatements in the account menu; the label differs by bank and changes over time.
  3. Set the period you are converting. Download each period as its own file. The reconciliation check proves one statement at a time, which is what makes a long catch-up provable.
  4. Save the PDF, do not screenshot it. Do not annotate, merge or reprint the file before converting — the reader works best on the document exactly as issued.
  5. Upload the PDF here. Upload the PDF above and check the reconciliation result before you download the converted file.

These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.

Tip: keep the downloaded PDFs in a folder named by account and month. A tidy folder makes batch conversion and later review almost mechanical.

Questions and answers

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

Get the PDF from People First Bank's statements area, upload it here, and download the converted an Excel (.xlsx) workbook. The converter reads the transactions, standardizes the columns and verifies the totals against the statement before the file is ready.

What date and number formats do People First Bank statements use?

People First Bank statements generally 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 reads the figures as printed and normalizes the output columns the same way for every bank.

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.

Can I convert a full year of People First Bank statements at once?

Yes. Download each month as its own PDF and upload them together — batch mode converts them in one run and, in Excel, adds a combined sheet. Each statement is still reconciled separately, because balances are per statement.

Does the converter work with People 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 are negative, and the same totals check applies.

What columns does the converted file have?

Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a People First Bank file and a file from any other bank in Australia can be imported and reviewed the same way.

What happens if my People First Bank statement does not reconcile?

The conversion is flagged, and the rows whose running balance disagrees with the statement are marked with the expected and printed figures. Nothing is silently adjusted — you see exactly where the statement and the extraction part company.

Can I convert a scanned People First Bank statement?

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.

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.
