Statement conventions in South Africa

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.

Working with South Africa statements month to month, the habit that pays is consistency: download each period's PDF as it is issued, convert it while the period is fresh, and file the PDF with its conversion result. A directory like this one exists so each bank's customers land on the right converter directly — but the converter reads any South Africa bank's PDF, listed or not.

In South Africa, bookkeepers commonly work in Sage, 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.

Amounts on South Africa statements are printed in R. The converter keeps the figures exactly as printed — it converts layout, not currency.

A year of South Africa statements, caught up

Start by downloading every period from every account before converting anything; portals in South Africa sometimes archive older statements behind request forms, and discovering a gap early beats discovering it mid-import. Convert the full set as a batch, then clear the reconciliation results in period order — each month's closing balance anchors the next, so the year either chains cleanly or names the month that does not.

Catch-up work is where South Africa statements pile up — a year of PDFs downloaded in one sitting. Convert them as a batch, then clear the reconciliation results in period order before importing anything. Months proven in sequence chain: each closing balance is the next month's opening, so the year either ties together or shows you the exact month that does not.

One statement, several useful shapes

The South Africa PDF is a document; each export is a tool. Excel is for looking — pivoting, filtering, checking. CSV is for moving — the neutral shape every system accepts. The QuickBooks and Xero files are for filing straight into the ledger, and OFX is for software that speaks in structured bank files. Downloading two formats for the same statement is normal practice, not duplication: one for the working papers, one for the books.

Questions and answers

Which banks in South Africa are covered?

This directory lists 14 banks in South Africa, each with its own converter pages. The converter itself is not limited to this list — it reads statement PDFs from any bank and normalizes them into the same columns.

How are dates and amounts printed on South Africa statements?

Statements from South Africa banks 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; every result is then checked against the statement's own balances.

What does the reconciliation check do?

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.

Are my statement files kept?

No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
