Kuda Bank, based in Lagos, Nigeria, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download a CSV file — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The .csv download contains the complete Kuda Bank statement as rows and columns of plain text: sortable in a spreadsheet, importable into accounting software, and diff-able in a way a PDF never is.
The main use is long-term archiving in a format that will still open in twenty years. 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 Kuda 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.
Before converting, spend thirty seconds on the Kuda Bank document itself: confirm the period matches the month you are closing, note the opening and closing balances, and scan for the period's largest transactions. 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.
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.
If your importer asks about delimiters and encoding, the answers are comma and UTF-8. Descriptions containing commas are quoted in the file, so a standards-compliant importer reads them as one field — if yours splits them, it is not reading the quoting, and its settings need adjusting.
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 Kuda Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the a CSV file it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Kuda Bank statements generally print dates as the order printed on the statement itself and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself. 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.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a Kuda 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.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
