DBS Bank is a bank based in Singapore, Singapore. Its account statements are issued as PDFs through online and mobile banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a CSV file — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
This export writes the DBS Bank transactions as comma-separated values, UTF-8 encoded so descriptions with accented characters survive, amounts in plain decimal form, ready for any system that takes a file upload.
The main use is bulk processing, where hundreds of statements convert into one pipeline. 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.
Every DBS Bank conversion is audited by the document it came from. The extracted transactions are totalled against the printed opening and closing balances and checked row by row against the running balance column where one is printed. 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 DBS 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 Singapore, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero and QuickBooks; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the Xero 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.
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.
Download the statement PDF from DBS Bank online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the a CSV file. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
Expect the order printed on the statement itself dates and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself on a DBS 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.
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.
Yes. Credit-card statements use a Previous Balance / New Balance layout, which the converter reads as well; purchases are positive and payments are negative, and the same totals check applies.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a DBS Bank file and a file from any other bank in Singapore 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. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
