About Zenith Bank statements
Zenith Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in Lagos, offering personal, business and corporate accounts.
Zenith Bank statements summarise the transactions on one account for a chosen period, with dates, narrations, debits, credits and a running naira balance. The Zenith Mobile App can send a statement to your own email, a financial institution or an embassy, and statements routed to an embassy or lender come with a code. Internet Banking lets you view statements and download account activity.
Typical Nigeria statement headings and where they go in your export:
| On the statement | In your export |
|---|---|
| Trans. Date | Date |
| Value Date | Ignored (posting / value date) |
| Narration | Description |
| Reference | Reference |
| Debit | Debit (and negative Amount) |
| Credit | Credit (and positive Amount) |
Also known as Zenith Bank Nigeria, Zenith Bank Plc and Zenith.
How to download your Zenith Bank statement as a PDF
- Open the Zenith Mobile App and go to the menu.
- Tap Bank Services, then My Bank Statement.
- Choose the account, plus the account to be charged any fee.
- Pick the destination: your email, a financial institution or an embassy.
- Set the start and end dates, then tap Validate.
Menu names can change between app and website versions.
Zenith Bank CSV and Excel downloads vs converting the PDF
Zenith Internet Banking lets you view statements and download or print account activity, including consolidated activity across all your accounts. Converting is still useful when what you have is an emailed statement rather than a download, or several statements to merge.
Converting the PDF statement is useful when you need periods outside that window, an account that is closed, or the exact figures printed on the official statement, including the running balance for reconciliation.
Tips for converting Zenith Bank statements
- Statements the app sends to an embassy or lender go straight to them. Request a copy to your own email too (a fee may apply) if you want the figures in Excel.
- No smartphone? Dial 0201-278-7000 from your registered number to request a statement by email through Zenith voice banking, then convert the emailed copy here.
- Zenith narrations for transfers can run over two lines; the converter joins them so each transaction stays on a single row in the export.
Importing Zenith Bank transactions into accounting software
For QuickBooks, Sage and Zoho Books, export CSV or OFX after checking the preview. Amounts are written as plain numbers without the ₦ sign, so they import cleanly as values. Step-by-step help: QuickBooks.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Zenith Bank statement on the mobile app?
Open the menu, tap Bank Services and choose My Bank Statement. Select the account, the account to be charged any fee, the destination and the start and end dates, then tap Validate. You can send it to your own email, a financial institution or an embassy.
How do I send a Zenith Bank statement to an embassy?
In the Zenith Mobile App, use Bank Services > My Bank Statement and pick the embassy from the destination drop-down before setting the dates and tapping Validate. Zenith's FAQ says such statements generate a code; if none appears, visit a branch or email Zenith Direct with the transaction details.
What is the password for a Zenith Bank statement PDF?
Zenith Bank does not publish a password format for statement PDFs on its website, so be wary of guides that state one. If an emailed statement is locked, check the covering email or contact Zenith Direct at zenithdirect@zenithbank.com. The converter then uses the password only in your browser.
Is it safe to convert my Zenith Bank statement here?
Yes. The conversion happens on your own device; your Zenith Bank statement is not uploaded, stored or shared. This site is independent and not affiliated with Zenith Bank.
