Prepare and review your Singapore statement
- 1
Check for a native export first
If your bank portal offers CSV or Excel with the required transactions, use that download directly. DBS IDEAL offers an Excel (.xls) transaction export. OCR helps when you have only a PDF, such as an archived statement.
- 2
Keep the original PDF and complete period
Download the account statement rather than a payment advice or letter. Confirm the account, date range and currency, and retain every transaction page. A digital PDF is preferable to screenshots; for scans, use clear, upright pages without cropped amounts.
- 3
Upload, compare and correct
Upload the PDF through your account, then compare the extracted rows with the original. Check debit and credit direction, wrapped descriptions, fees, and opening and closing balances where present. Columns and currency vary by account; do not assume every Singapore statement is in SGD.
- 4
Export for your accounting workflow
After checking totals with the PDF, export Excel or CSV. Match dates, currency and amount signs to your accounting import template, and avoid overlapping statement periods that could duplicate transactions.

Frequently asked questions
- Which Singapore bank statements can I convert?
- You can upload DBS/POSB, OCBC Singapore and UOB Singapore statement PDFs for extraction. Use the bank guides above to locate the PDF. Statement types and layouts vary; review your output rather than assuming every account format will extract the same way.
- How do I convert a Singapore bank statement PDF to Excel?
- Download the correct account eStatement, upload the PDF, compare the extracted transaction rows with the original, then export Excel or CSV. Check the statement period, currency and totals before importing it into your accounting software.
- Should I use a native CSV or Excel download instead?
- Use a native spreadsheet export when it includes the required transaction history and fields. PDF conversion is useful for archived statements or when the bank provides only a PDF for the document you need.
