Singapore banks
How Singapore statements are laid out
Singapore statements are in English and print dates day-first, often abbreviated to '05 JAN' with the year given in the statement period. Withdrawals and deposits normally have separate columns, and descriptions carry local payment labels such as GIRO, FAST and PayNow. Some banks issue consolidated statements that combine several accounts, including foreign-currency ones, in a single PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Which Singapore banks does the converter support?
It reads the transaction table directly, so it works with digital PDF statements from most banks in Singapore, including DBS, OCBC and UOB. Unusual layouts can be corrected in the preview before export.
Does it understand DD/MM/YYYY dates and S$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 Xero and QuickBooks?
Yes. Export CSV or OFX, both of which are accepted by most accounting packages used in Singapore, 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.
