People First Bank statements to OFX: what you get

OFX is the interchange format desktop accounting software was built around. This export writes the People First Bank transactions as an OFX file with statement and transaction structure intact, ready for the import routines in tools that accept .ofx or .qfx uploads.

The main use is rebuilding history in software after a bank feed has lapsed. 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.

Trust in the output comes from the statement's own arithmetic. People First Bank prints balances that its transaction list must sum to; the converter repeats that sum independently on the extracted data. A dropped row, a duplicated row or a misread digit breaks the chain and is flagged at the row where it breaks, with the expected and printed balances shown side by side.

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.

Catching up a year of People First Bank books

Download all twelve periods first and convert them as one batch, then work through the reconciliation results month by month in order. Fix flagged months before importing anything: it is far easier to resolve a difference against twelve tidy statements than inside a year of mixed postings.

Before you use the file

Keep the statement PDF with the OFX file. OFX is a transport format, not a document — when a transaction is questioned later, the PDF is what proves what the bank actually printed.

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 OFX?

Save the statement as a PDF from People First Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.

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.

Do I need an account to convert a People First Bank statement?

No. There is no sign-up: upload the PDF, check the reconciliation result, download the file. Uploaded files and exports are deleted automatically within 15 minutes.

Which file should I upload — the PDF or a portal CSV export?

The statement PDF. It is the issued document and it carries the opening and closing balances the reconciliation check verifies against; a portal CSV has the transactions but nothing to prove them against.

Are amounts converted into another currency?

No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in $ exactly as People First Bank printed them.

Can I convert statements for several People First Bank accounts?

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.

What if People First Bank only offers paper statements?

Scan the statement as flat and straight as you can and upload the scan. OCR reads it, and the reconciliation check verifies the read against the printed balances; rows it cannot verify are flagged for a manual look.

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.
