Step
Use the PDF from your online banking portal for the cleanest extraction.
In digibank Mobile, open More, then eDocuments under Quick Access. On digibank Online, use the eDocuments section.
Choose the relevant statement and use its down-arrow download icon. Keep the original file for comparison.
Check that the document is an account statement covering the transactions you need, rather than a payment advice or letter.
For DBS business accounts, IDEAL offers Accounts, an account and date-range filter, then Export to Microsoft Excel (.xls) or PDF. Use native Excel when it includes the required transactions. Convert with OCR when the available source is a PDF.

How it works
Drag in your DBS & POSB statement, or click to browse.
DBS and POSB accounts can produce different document types. Confirm the selected account, statement period and currency first. Check FAST, PayNow and GIRO references against the original descriptions, and reconcile opening balance plus credits minus debits with the closing balance where those fields are present.
Export Excel or CSV after review. Match the date format, currency and debit/credit signs to your import template.
DBS and POSB account statements can include transaction dates, descriptions, withdrawals, deposits and balances. The columns below illustrate a deposit-account structure, not a verified layout for every account. Card and foreign-currency statements can differ; compare totals and currency with your PDF.
Where to get the PDF: DBS/POSB digibank eDocuments; DBS IDEAL for business account documents. Check the account and period before uploading.
Illustrative structure only, not customer data or a verified layout for every account. Columns and currency vary by account; compare transaction totals and balances with your PDF.

Why DBS & POSB statements are tricky: Keep eStatements separate from payment advices. Review any wrapped transfer references, and compare opening and closing balances with the PDF where present. Prefer IDEAL's native Excel export when it contains the transactions you need.
Download the account statement, upload the PDF, review the extracted transactions against the source, and export Excel or CSV. Check the currency and statement period before importing the file into your ledger.
Yes, when the native Excel report includes the transactions and date range you need. It avoids extracting a PDF. OCR is useful for an archived PDF or when an equivalent spreadsheet export is unavailable.
POSB account statement PDFs can be uploaded for extraction. Review the resulting rows; document types and columns can differ between accounts.
Compare the description, reference, date and amount with the PDF. Wrapped reference text may need correction; do not infer a payment channel from a short description alone.
No. Card statements can contain posting dates, foreign-currency purchases and repayment totals rather than a deposit-account running balance. Review the available columns and currency before using the export.
