The CSV export is the universal version of the People's Choice statement: one transaction per line in a plain-text file with Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance columns — the format every spreadsheet, importer and script can read without conversion.
The main use is long-term archiving in a format that will still open in twenty years. 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 People's Choice 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.
Two habits make People's Choice statements easier to work with. First, convert the issued PDF rather than a portal screen print — print views paginate differently and can drop the balance lines the check needs. 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.
In the Australia directory People's Choice is entry 18th of 42: a bank headquartered in Adelaide, issuing statements in $. Adelaide is home to 3 of the directory's Australia institutions: alongside People's Choice, BankSA and Beyond Bank are headquartered there. Each keeps its own statement layout, and each converts against its own balances. No other country's directory on this site lists a People's Choice institution; the name here belongs to Australia only. In the directory's order People's Choice sits between Newcastle Permanent of Newcastle and People First Bank of Toowoomba, 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, People's Choice sits 18th, between Newcastle Permanent of Newcastle and People First Bank of Toowoomba in the directory's order. Read alphabetically, the Australia roster runs from AMP Bank to Westpac, and People's Choice falls between People First Bank of Toowoomba and Police Bank of Sydney. Among the 3 institutions headquartered in Adelaide, the directory's order places People's Choice 2nd, between Beyond Bank and BankSA. The listings around it in the directory — Greater Bank (bank, Newcastle), Newcastle Permanent (bank, Newcastle), People's Choice itself (bank), People First Bank (bank, Toowoomba) and Teachers Mutual Bank (bank, Sydney) — span 4 headquarters cities and 1 institution kind between them; the converter treats each of them exactly as it treats People's Choice, on its own statement's evidence. Banks make up 42 of the 42 institutions listed for Australia, People's Choice among them.
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.
If your importer asks about delimiters and encoding, the answers are comma and UTF-8. Descriptions containing commas are quoted in the file, so a standards-compliant importer reads them as one field — if yours splits them, it is not reading the quoting, and its settings need adjusting.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: a statement that covers a partial period (account opened or closed mid-month) still converts and reconciles; its balances simply anchor a shorter chain.
Download the statement PDF from People's Choice online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the a CSV file. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
Like most banks in Australia, People's Choice 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.
BankSA and Beyond Bank. Each is a separate institution with its own statement layout — a People's Choice statement converts against People's Choice'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. 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.
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.
No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in $ exactly as People's Choice printed them.
The QuickBooks and Xero exports are laid out in the column order those tools import. The plain CSV and Excel exports suit everything else, including spreadsheet review before import.
Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
