Why Rateweb's converter
- Automatic categorisation — every transaction sorted into Groceries, Fuel, Insurance, Subscriptions and more. Most converters just dump raw rows.
- Real Excel (.xlsx) + CSV — open straight in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.
- Accounting-ready exports — import straight into Xero, QuickBooks or Sage with the right columns and date format (Rateweb Plus).
- Merge multiple statements — upload a whole year at once; duplicates are removed automatically (Rateweb Plus).
- Send to your Spending dashboard — one click to see where your money goes, track recurring debit orders and spot savings (Rateweb Plus).
- Private by design — your statement is processed in memory and never saved to our servers.
How to convert your bank statement
- Download your statement from your banking app as a PDF or CSV.
- Upload it above (add the password if the PDF is protected).
- Review the categorised transactions, then download CSV/Excel or send them to your dashboard.
Supported banks
FNB, ABSA, Standard Bank, Capitec, Nedbank, TymeBank, Investec, African Bank, Discovery Bank and more. The converter detects the date and amount on each transaction line, so it isn't tied to one bank's layout. For PDFs it reads the running balance to work out whether each line is money in or money out.
To export your statement, open the ABSA app or internet banking, go to your account's transaction history or statements, and download it as a PDF or CSV — then upload it above. The converter never stores your file.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a ABSA statement to Excel?
Yes. Download your ABSA statement as a PDF or CSV from the ABSA app or internet banking, upload it here, and we extract and categorise every transaction — then download it as Excel (.xlsx) or CSV.
How does the ABSA PDF converter work?
It reads the date, description and amount on each line of your ABSA PDF and uses the running balance to tell money in from money out, so it works without relying on one fixed ABSA statement layout.
Is the ABSA statement converter free?
Yes — preview any ABSA statement free with no sign-up, and download your first 30 pages each month free with a Rateweb account. Excel and accounting exports are on Rateweb Plus.
Can I convert a password-protected ABSA PDF?
Enter the PDF password in the optional field. If it stays locked, open the ABSA statement in your PDF viewer, save a copy without the password, and upload that.
