People's Bank is a bank based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Its account statements are issued as PDFs through online and mobile banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a QuickBooks-ready CSV (Date, Description, Amount) — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.

QuickBooks wants a simple three-column file, and this export produces it from the People's Bank PDF: date, description, signed amount — ready for the Banking upload screen without deleting balance columns or splitting debits and credits yourself.
The main use is accounts with no connected feed, or a feed that missed a period. 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.
The check itself is simple arithmetic, applied without exception: add the opening balance to every extracted transaction and compare the result with the closing balance printed on the People's Bank statement, then walk the running balances row by row. 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.
Ask clients for the issued PDFs rather than portal screenshots or spreadsheet exports. The PDF is the only version that carries the balances the check needs, and a folder of monthly PDFs plus their conversion results is an audit trail that assembles itself.
On QuickBooks' Banking screen, choose the account that matches the statement before uploading — the file carries no account identifier, so the mapping you pick is the record. The upload preview then shows dates and amounts to confirm against the statement's period.
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.
Get the PDF from People's Bank's statements area, upload it here, and download the converted a QuickBooks-ready CSV (Date, Description, Amount). The converter reads the transactions, standardizes the columns and verifies the totals against the statement before the file is ready.
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.
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 People's Bank file and a file from any other bank in Sri Lanka 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.
