First City Monument Bank, based in Lagos, Nigeria, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download a QuickBooks-ready CSV (Date, Description, Amount) — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
QuickBooks wants a simple three-column file, and this export produces it from the First City Monument Bank PDF: date, description, signed amount — ready for the Banking upload screen without deleting balance columns or splitting debits and credits yourself.
The main use is historical imports beyond the connected feed's window. 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.
Trust in the output comes from the statement's own arithmetic. First City Monument Bank prints balances that its transaction list must sum to; the converter repeats that sum independently on the extracted data. 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.
Read a First City Monument Bank statement as three zones. The header zone names the account and the period — check those first, because a wrong-period PDF converts beautifully and reconciles against the wrong month. The middle zone is the transaction list itself. A reconciliation difference is most often one of those large items — a duplicate, a drop, or a digit misread — and knowing the candidates in advance shortens the search considerably.
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.
QuickBooks reads the signed Amount column directly: money in positive, money out negative, as printed. If your books use the split debit/credit view after import, that is QuickBooks' own presentation — the uploaded file's single column is what it expects.
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.
Save the statement as a PDF from First City Monument Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the a QuickBooks-ready CSV (Date, Description, Amount) 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 First City Monument 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.
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.
The QuickBooks and Xero exports are laid out in the column order those tools import. The plain CSV and Excel exports suit everything else, including spreadsheet review before import.
Yes — it is one of the strongest checks available. The converter walks the extracted amounts against the printed running balance row by row, so a single dropped or duplicated transaction is pinpointed instead of merely suspected.
Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.
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.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
