Dah Sing Bank, based in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description) — 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 Xero-format file carries the Dah Sing Bank transactions with the four columns Xero reads, in the order it reads them, converted from the PDF and verified against the statement's balances before you download it.
The main use is getting statement lines into Xero when no live bank feed covers the account. Every conversion is checked against the statement itself: where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the extracted transactions must add up to them, or the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked. A statement whose layout the reader cannot parse is reported honestly — never passed off as converted.
Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the Dah Sing Bank transactions are extracted, the converter replays them: opening balance plus each row in turn must reproduce every printed running balance and land exactly on the closing figure. 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.
A Dah Sing Bank statement's layout decides how differences behave. In a chronological layout with a running balance, a single dropped row shifts every later balance, which makes it easy to spot. 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 Hong Kong, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero 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.
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.
In Xero, upload the file against the bank account whose statement it came from, and let Xero's import preview show you the first and last lines before you confirm: they should match the statement's period exactly. A wrong-account upload is the one error the preview exists to catch.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: download statements as the periods close rather than in a year-end scramble; portals sometimes archive older periods behind request forms.
Save the statement as a PDF from Dah Sing Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description) it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Like most banks in Hong Kong, Dah Sing Bank prints dates as the order printed on the statement itself and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself. Conversion normalizes dates to an unambiguous form in the output while leaving the figures themselves untouched.
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 — 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.
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.
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.
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.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a Dah Sing Bank file and a file from any other bank in Hong Kong can be imported and reviewed the same way.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
