What you get
Standard Bank statements usually print Details, Service Fee, Debits, Credits, Date and Balance, with the date after the amounts and written month first: 03 02 means 2 March. The converter writes it as Mar 02, so nobody reads it as 3 February, and the Pro exports add the year from the statement period. Debits and negative balances carry a minus at the end (6.500,00- or 6,500.00-), and both number styles are read. The Service Fee column is left out, as is the ## mark beside fee rows: the fees are charged later as a row of their own and the balance only moves by the debit. Balance brought forward lines at the top of later pages are skipped, so they are not counted twice.
This page is about the monthly statement PDF. The transaction history you can save from online banking has a different layout (newest first, In and Out columns); the converter may read it, 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 Standard Bank, 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.

FAQ
Is this a Standard Bank tool?
No. OfflineStatement is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited.
Why do my dates say Mar 02 and not 03 02?
Standard Bank prints month then day, while most South African paperwork puts the day first, so 03 02 is easy to read as 3 February. Mar 02 can only mean 2 March.
Is my statement uploaded?
No. The PDF is read by code running in your browser. There is no server that receives your file, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads. Pro checks your license about once a day when you're online and keeps working offline in between.
Is it free?
Previewing a statement and downloading a CSV of its first 25 transactions is free. Pro gives you every transaction, batches of statements, Excel .xlsx and QuickBooks, Xero and OFX files.
