FDH Bank statements to Excel: what you get

This export rebuilds the FDH Bank statement as an Excel workbook: clean columns, consistent date format, signed amounts, and a summary of the reconciliation check at the top, so whoever opens the file can see both the data and that it was verified.

The main use is building schedules and workings that cite the statement line by line. 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 FDH 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. 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.

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.

Working from FDH Bank statements as a bookkeeper

Ask clients for the issued PDFs rather than portal screenshots or spreadsheet exports. The PDF is the only version that carries the balances the check needs, and a folder of monthly PDFs plus their conversion results is an audit trail that assembles itself.

Before you use the file

Before building workings on the workbook, glance at the summary block: it records the period, the opening and closing balances and the check result. If a month is flagged, resolve the marked rows in the sheet itself only after comparing them with the PDF — the PDF is the source document, and the workbook should end up agreeing with it, not the other way round.

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 Excel?

Save the statement as a PDF from FDH Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the an Excel (.xlsx) workbook it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.

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.

Do I need an account to convert a FDH 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 MK exactly as FDH Bank printed them.

Can I convert statements for several FDH 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 FDH 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.
