Police Bank statements to OFX: what you get

The OFX export packages the Police Bank statement for software that speaks the Open Financial Exchange format: dated, signed transactions in a structured file that older desktop bookkeeping tools import natively.

The main use is any workflow that asks for a 'bank statement file' rather than a spreadsheet. 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 Police 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. A conversion only reports as reconciled when both tests agree to the cent — and when they do, the figures have been proven against the bank's own document, not merely read from it.

Read a Police 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.

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

Import the OFX file into a copy or a test account first if your software allows it: OFX imports typically cannot be undone in bulk, and a thirty-second trial shows whether the date range and account mapping are right before the real ledger takes the file.

How to download a statement PDF from Police Bank

  1. Sign in to Police Bank online banking. Statements downloaded from the bank's own portal are the document of record. Avoid email forwards and re-saved copies where you can.
  2. Pick the account and the month. Most banks file statements under the account's Documents, Statements or eStatements tab rather than on the summary screen.
  3. Choose the statement period. Pick the month (or months) you need. For catch-up bookkeeping, download each month as its own PDF.
  4. Download or print to PDF. Do not annotate, merge or reprint the file before converting — the reader works best on the document exactly as issued.
  5. Upload and verify. Add the PDF to the converter on this page and read the reconciliation verdict on the result before exporting.

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.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a Police Bank statement to OFX?

Download the statement PDF from Police Bank online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.

What date and number formats do Police Bank statements use?

Like most banks in Australia, Police 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.

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.

What happens if my Police 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 Police 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.

Do I need an account to convert a Police 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 Police Bank printed them.

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.
