Providus Bank, based in Lagos, Nigeria, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download an Excel (.xlsx) workbook — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
Excel is where most statement clean-up happens, and this export is built for it: the Providus Bank transactions land in a typed spreadsheet — real dates, real numbers, no text-formatted amounts — with a summary block showing that the figures tie back to the statement itself.
The main use is month-end review, analysis and any job that starts with 'get it into a spreadsheet'. 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. Providus 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.
A Providus 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. 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 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.
File three things together for every {bank} month: the statement PDF, the converted file, and the reconciliation outcome. Anyone reviewing the work later — a partner, an auditor, a tax adviser — can re-perform the month from that trio without asking you anything.
A converted workbook is a good place to code transactions: add your own category column beside the standard ones rather than editing descriptions, so the file can always be re-performed against the statement. Keep the summary block intact when you pass the file on — it is the evidence the figures were checked.
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 Providus Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the an Excel (.xlsx) workbook it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Providus 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.
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 Providus 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.
