Arbuthnot Latham, based in London, United Kingdom, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description) — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The Xero export is laid out in the column order Xero's bank-statement import expects — *Date, *Amount, *Payee, *Description — so a Arbuthnot Latham statement can be uploaded as a statement file without remapping columns in the import wizard.
The main use is bookkeepers standardizing client statements into one import shape. Statements from United Kingdom banks print dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) — the converter's locale-aware reader handles that layout, and then the reconciliation check proves the result: the extracted transactions must add up to the balances printed on the statement itself, or the conversion is flagged.
Trust in the output comes from the statement's own arithmetic. Arbuthnot Latham prints balances that its transaction list must sum to; the converter repeats that sum independently on the extracted data. 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 Arbuthnot Latham 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. In a sectioned layout — deposits, then withdrawals, then fees — compare section totals first. Knowing which layout you hold tells you where to look before the marked rows even load.
In United Kingdom, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero, Sage, QuickBooks and FreeAgent; 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.
Descriptions arrive in the Description field and counterparties in Payee, which is what makes Xero's find-and-match work well later. Avoid editing either before import; clean data categorizes faster than tidied data.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: if the bank offers both a statement PDF and a transaction-list PDF, take the statement — it is the one carrying the balances the reconciliation check needs.
Download the statement PDF from Arbuthnot Latham online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description). The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
Expect day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 dates and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) on a Arbuthnot Latham 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.
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. There is no sign-up: upload the PDF, check the reconciliation result, download the file. Uploaded files and exports are deleted automatically within 15 minutes.
The statement PDF. It is the issued document and it carries the opening and closing balances the reconciliation check verifies against; a portal CSV has the transactions but nothing to prove them against.
No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in £ exactly as Arbuthnot Latham printed them.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
