FDH Bank statements to CSV: what you get

This export writes the FDH Bank transactions as comma-separated values, UTF-8 encoded so descriptions with accented characters survive, amounts in plain decimal form, ready for any system that takes a file upload.

The main use is importing into software and workflows that take a plain file. 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.

Every FDH 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. Passing both checks is the only route to a reconciled result; there is no partial pass and no silent correction. What cannot be proven is labelled, never smoothed over.

A FDH 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. Second, glance at the statement's own subtotals before converting: section totals for deposits, withdrawals and fees are free checkpoints that tell you where a flagged difference is likely to live.

Catching up a year of FDH 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 downloaded CSV unchanged as your archive copy and do any editing in your accounting tool after import. A pristine CSV plus the statement PDF is the pair an auditor wants: source document, and the exact data taken from it.

How to download a statement PDF from FDH Bank

  1. Sign in and open the right account. Statements downloaded from the bank's own portal are the document of record. Avoid email forwards and re-saved copies where you can.
  2. Open the account and find Statements or Documents. Most banks file statements under the account's Documents, Statements or eStatements tab rather than on the summary screen.
  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 unchanged. A downloaded PDF carries the text layer the converter reads. If the portal only offers a print view, print to PDF instead of taking a picture.
  5. Upload the PDF here. Add the file to the converter on this page. You can add several statement PDFs at once for batch conversion.

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

Tip: where the portal shows a 'final' or 'corrected' version of a statement, convert that one — reissued statements supersede the original figures.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a FDH Bank statement to CSV?

Get the PDF from FDH Bank's statements area, upload it here, and download the converted a CSV file. 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 FDH Bank statements use?

Like most banks in Malawi, FDH 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.

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 FDH 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 FDH 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 FDH Bank file and a file from any other bank in Malawi can be imported and reviewed the same way.

What happens if my FDH 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 FDH 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.
