Kiwibank, based in Wellington, 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.

Converting for Xero means the Kiwibank transactions arrive in Xero's own statement format: one row per transaction, amounts signed the way Xero wants them, ready to upload against the matching bank account in the ledger.
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.
Trust in the output comes from the statement's own arithmetic. Kiwibank prints balances that its transaction list must sum to; the converter repeats that sum independently on the extracted data. 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.
Two habits make Kiwibank 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. 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 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.
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: a statement that covers a partial period (account opened or closed mid-month) still converts and reconciles; its balances simply anchor a shorter chain.
Save the statement as a PDF from Kiwibank 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.
Kiwibank statements generally 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 reads the figures as printed and normalizes the output columns the same way for every bank.
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. 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 Kiwibank file and a file from any other bank in New Zealand can be imported and reviewed the same way.
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.
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.
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.
