People's Bank statements to Excel: what you get

This export rebuilds the People's Bank statement as an Excel workbook: clean columns, consistent date format, signed amounts, and a summary of the reconciliation check at the top, so whoever opens the file can see both the data and that it was verified.

The main use is reviewing, sorting and analysing the statement outside your accounting software. 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 People's 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 People's 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. 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 Sri Lanka, bookkeepers commonly work in QuickBooks and Xero; 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.

Keeping evidence with the conversion

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.

Before you use the file

If the workbook will feed a model or a client file, paste values rather than linking cells back to a working copy. The converted figures are deliberately plain — real dates, real numbers — so they paste cleanly, and the reconciliation summary gives the reader the provenance in one glance.

How to download a statement PDF from People's Bank

  1. Sign in to People's Bank online banking. People's Bank customers with several accounts should download from each account separately — statements are issued per account.
  2. Pick the account and the month. Look for Statements, Documents, Mailbox or eStatements in the account menu; the label differs by bank and changes over time.
  3. Choose the statement period. Download each period as its own file. The reconciliation check proves one statement at a time, which is what makes a long catch-up provable.
  4. Download the PDF version. A downloaded PDF carries the text layer the converter reads. If the portal only offers a print view, print to PDF instead of taking a picture.
  5. Convert it on this page. Drop the file into the converter above. Batch mode accepts the whole set of periods in one upload.

These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.

Tip: download statements as the periods close rather than in a year-end scramble; portals sometimes archive older periods behind request forms.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a People's Bank statement to Excel?

Get the PDF from People's Bank'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.

What date and number formats do People's Bank statements use?

Expect the order printed on the statement itself dates and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself on a People's 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.

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.

My People's Bank statement has a running balance column. Is it used?

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.

What if two People's Bank statements cover overlapping days?

Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.

Can I convert a full year of People's Bank statements at once?

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.

Does the converter work with People's Bank credit-card statements?

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.

What columns does the converted file have?

Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a People's Bank file and a file from any other bank in Sri Lanka can be imported and reviewed the same way.

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.
