Upload it
Drop the FNB PDF into the converter above. Cheque account and credit card statements are both read, and a password-protected PDF works once you enter its password in the field the converter shows.

Review the rows and balances
FNB statements print a running balance, so Accounter checks the rows against it and flags mismatches. Look at those flags first, then scan long business references and fee lines against the PDF.

Export CSV and open it in Excel
Export the CSV and open it in Excel via Data → From Text/CSV. FNB dates are DD/MM/YYYY, so set the date column to DMY on import, or Excel may swap day and month on dates up to the 12th.
- 5
Or try Excel’s Power Query first
Excel can read tables from a text-based PDF for free through Data → Get Data → From File → From PDF. It does not read scanned images and does not check the running balance. Power Query does not test FNB’s balance column, so a skipped or merged row can go unnoticed.

Accounter can attempt extraction from FNB digital or scanned statements when the pages are readable. Original bank PDFs usually give the best results; scanned pages, screenshots, or photos should be upright, complete, and reviewed before import.
