United Arab Emirates banks
How United Arab Emirates statements are laid out
UAE statements are usually in English, sometimes with Arabic alongside, and amounts are shown in dirhams to two decimal places with a full stop as the decimal separator. Dates run day-first, written as DD/MM/YYYY or DD-MMM-YYYY, and many banks print both a transaction date and a value date. Debits and credits generally appear in separate columns next to a running balance.
| On the statement | In your export |
|---|---|
| Transaction Date | Date |
| Value Date | Ignored (posting / value date) |
| Description | Description |
| Debit | Debit (and negative Amount) |
| Credit | Credit (and positive Amount) |
| Balance | Balance |

Frequently asked questions
Which United Arab Emirates banks does the converter support?
It reads the transaction table directly, so it works with digital PDF statements from most banks in United Arab Emirates, including ADCB, Emirates NBD, FAB and Mashreq. Unusual layouts can be corrected in the preview before export.
Does it understand DD/MM/YYYY dates and AED1,234.56 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 Zoho Books and Tally?
Yes. Export CSV or OFX, both of which are accepted by most accounting packages used in United Arab Emirates, 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.
