Nigeria banks
How Nigeria statements are laid out
Nigerian statements are dated day-first, frequently in DD-MMM-YYYY form such as '05-Jan-2024', and usually list a transaction date and a value date. Debits and credits sit in separate columns, and narrations for electronic transfers tend to be long, carrying the counterparty's name and a session or reference number. Regulatory charges such as stamp duty and the electronic money transfer levy often appear as their own lines.

| Value Date | Ignored (posting / value date) |
| Narration | Description |
| Reference | Reference |
| Debit | Debit (and negative Amount) |
| Credit | Credit (and positive Amount) |

Frequently asked questions
Which Nigeria banks does the converter support?
It reads the transaction table directly, so it works with digital PDF statements from most banks in Nigeria, including Access Bank, GTBank and Zenith Bank. Unusual layouts can be corrected in the preview before export.
Does it understand DD-MM-YYYY dates and ₦1,234.56 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 QuickBooks and Sage?
Yes. Export CSV or OFX, both of which are accepted by most accounting packages used in Nigeria, 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.
