Access Bank, based in Lagos, Nigeria, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.

Converting to OFX turns the Access Bank PDF into a machine-readable statement file: the same transactions, in the tagged format that personal-finance and legacy accounting applications expect when a direct bank feed is not available.
The main use is rebuilding history in software after a bank feed has lapsed. 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 Access 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 Access 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. 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 Nigeria, bookkeepers commonly work in Sage and QuickBooks; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the QuickBooks 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.
Some tools read the OFX memo field and some read the name field for descriptions. If imported descriptions look truncated in your software, that is a display choice in the tool, not missing data — the full text remains in the file.
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 Access Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Expect the order printed on the statement itself dates and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself on a Access 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.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a Access Bank file and a file from any other bank in Nigeria 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.
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.
