Absa statement PDF to Excel

How to download your Absa statement as a PDF

1. Log in to Absa Online Banking or the Absa Banking App and select the account.
2. Open Statements and choose the date range. In the app you can pick a stamped statement too, which Absa may charge a small fee for. Menu names change from time to time.
3. Download the PDF. Emailed eStatements work as well: save the attachment.

Then drop the PDF in the box above, or click it to choose the file.

What you get

Absa cheque account statements usually list Date, Transaction Description, Charge, Debit Amount, Credit Amount and Balance, with dates such as 3/09/2026 and amounts such as 18 250.00. The converter maps Debit Amount and Credit Amount by their headings and joins the payee line printed under each row (Digital Payment Dt, then Outsurance) into one description. The Charge column, a fee figure with a letter such as 10.00 T, is left out: Absa takes those fees later as rows of their own, so adding them would count every fee twice. Bal Brought Forward comes through as a row with only a balance.

This page is about Absa cheque and savings account statements. Absa credit card statements, including the Afrikaans ones, have a different layout; the converter may read them, but check the result against the PDF.

How it works, and what it can't do

OfflineStatement is a general reader for text-based PDF statements: it finds the transaction table by its column headings and turns each dated row into a spreadsheet row. It was not built with or tested by Absa, and statement layouts change, so check the result against the PDF. Where the statement prints a running balance, every row is checked against it and rows that don't add up are highlighted. Scanned or photographed statements (images, not text) are not supported. Password-protected PDFs work: you type the password and it stays on your device.

Open the CSV in Excel, Google Sheets or QuickBooks

Excel: double-click the CSV, or use Data > From Text/CSV. Google Sheets: File > Import > Upload, then choose the CSV. QuickBooks Online: the bank-upload CSV needs Date, Description and Amount; Pro exports exactly that format (see PDF to QuickBooks), or you can trim the free CSV to those columns.
