Malaysia banks
How Malaysia statements are laid out
Malaysian statements print dates day-first, often in short DD/MM/YY form, and are generally in English, with some banks adding Malay headings alongside. Some banks use a single transaction amount column where a trailing '+' or '-' marks credits and debits, while others use separate debit and credit columns. Amounts are in ringgit with a full stop for decimals and commas for thousands.

Frequently asked questions
Which Malaysia banks does the converter support?
It reads the transaction table directly, so it works with digital PDF statements from most banks in Malaysia, including CIMB, Maybank and Public Bank. Unusual layouts can be corrected in the preview before export.
Does it understand DD/MM/YYYY dates and RM1,234.56 amounts?
Yes. The converter detects the date order and decimal separator from the statement itself. Exports default to DD/MM/YYYY on this page, and you can switch to any other format before downloading.
Can I import the result into SQL Accounting and AutoCount?
Yes. Export CSV or OFX, both of which are accepted by most accounting packages used in Malaysia, or Excel if you want to review and edit the data first.
Are my statements uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your web browser. The PDF and any password you enter stay on your device and are discarded when you close the page.
