Heartland Bank, based in Auckland, New Zealand, 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.
The Xero-format file carries the Heartland 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 bookkeepers standardizing client statements into one import shape. Statements from New Zealand 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.
Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the Heartland 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. 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.
Two habits make Heartland Bank 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. 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.
In New Zealand, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero and MYOB; 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.
A workable rhythm: download the month's PDF the day the period closes, convert it, read the reconciliation verdict, then import. Months proven in order chain together — each closing balance becomes the next month's opening — so a difference is always owned by exactly one month.
Import months in chronological order. Xero reconciles happily in any order, but importing in sequence keeps the statement-line list aligned with the paper trail, which is what you will want at year end.
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.
Download the statement PDF from Heartland Bank online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description). The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
Expect day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 dates and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) on a Heartland Bank statement. The reader is locale-aware, so those conventions are handled rather than misread, and the output columns come out in the standard layout regardless.
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.
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 Heartland Bank printed them.
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.
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.
That depends on the bank's portal — most keep at least a year of PDFs online, and older periods can usually be requested. However far back you go, download each period as its own PDF.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
