Based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, FirstBank Puerto Rico provides statements to its customers as PDF documents in online banking. Convert FirstBank Puerto Rico statement PDFs to Excel, CSV or an accounting format — with a reconciliation check on every conversion.
For reviewing, sorting and analysing the statement outside your accounting software.
For feeding scripts, databases and anything that reads delimited text.
For rebuilding history in software after a bank feed has lapsed.
For bookkeepers who standardize every client bank into one upload shape.
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 FirstBank Puerto Rico 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. Agreement to the cent means the extraction matches the document. Disagreement means the conversion is flagged — the result says so plainly, with the differing rows marked.
Two habits make FirstBank Puerto Rico 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. 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 Puerto Rico, bookkeepers commonly work in 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.
Excel (.xlsx) keeps the statement readable and workable in a spreadsheet. CSV is the same data as bare text — maximally portable, minimally pretty. QuickBooks and Xero CSVs reorder the columns to each platform's import template. OFX is a tagged banking format for desktop tools. All five are generated from the same reconciled extraction, so choosing is about the destination, never about accuracy.
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.
Get the PDF from FirstBank Puerto Rico's statements area, upload it here, and download the converted an Excel (.xlsx) workbook. The converter reads the transactions, standardizes the columns and verifies the totals against the statement before the file is ready.
FirstBank Puerto Rico 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.
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.
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.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
Your first conversion is free — no card, no sign-up — and every result is checked against the statement itself before you download it.
