ClearlyLedger converts Allied Irish Banks PDF statements into structured Excel and CSV files for Irish accountants, bookkeepers, SMEs, sole traders, and finance teams. The AIB profile handles EUR formatting, DD/MM/YYYY dates, SEPA credit transfer and direct debit narration, IBAN references, quarterly fees, and balance verification before export.

AIB statements usually present transaction date, transaction details, debit, credit, and balance fields. Direct debits, SEPA transfers, card payments, lodgements, and fees often include continuation lines with reference or counterparty details.
ClearlyLedger keeps those continuation lines attached to the correct row and maps the result into a clean Excel or CSV ledger.
Irish bank statements can include SEPA creditor references, IBAN context, quarterly maintenance fees, and annual card-related charges. Generic converters often split the reference line away from the amount, which makes reconciliation harder.
The AIB profile preserves useful SEPA and counterparty context while normalizing EUR amounts into standard debit, credit, and balance columns.
Use Excel when reviewing AIB transactions for Revenue, CRO annual-return support, mortgage packs, charity accounts, or bookkeeping cleanup. Use CSV when importing into Xero Ireland, Sage, QuickBooks Online, or another ledger.
Balance verification checks extracted rows against the printed statement balance before export so missing rows, wrong signs, and page-break mistakes are surfaced early.

AIB Bank Statement to Excel Converter explains how ClearlyLedger converts bank statement PDFs into spreadsheet-ready data while preserving transaction dates, descriptions, debit amounts, credit amounts and balances. The page is written for accountants, bookkeepers, finance teams and business owners who need reliable Excel or CSV output instead of manual copy-paste.
The converter checks extracted rows against statement balances wherever the PDF provides enough information. That means opening balance plus credits minus debits should reconcile to the closing balance before you use the exported file in bookkeeping, tax preparation, lending review or account reconciliation.
ClearlyLedger exports clean Excel and CSV files for spreadsheet review and accounting workflows. Source PDFs are processed securely, are not used to train AI models, and are deleted after processing according to the site's data-retention policy. The same conversion workflow supports recurring close, tax, lending and reconciliation review.
The extraction flow separates statement chrome from transaction rows, normalizes date and amount formats, preserves long descriptions, and flags rows that need human review. The goal is not only to create a spreadsheet, but to create an audit-friendly file that can be filtered, sampled, and reconciled before it enters QuickBooks, Xero, Excel, or a lender review pack.
Accountants use ClearlyLedger when clients send historical PDFs instead of bank feeds. Bookkeepers use it for monthly close and catch-up work. Finance teams use it for reconciliation, cash-flow analysis, loan applications, tax preparation, and multi-bank review where manual copy-paste would be slow and error-prone.
Before importing the file into accounting software, review the statement period, opening and closing balances, any low-confidence rows, and the first and last transaction on each page boundary. These checks catch the mistakes most common in PDF extraction: repeated headers, skipped wrapped descriptions, subtotal rows, sign reversals, and dates that were inferred from a statement period rather than printed on every row.
For client work, keep the original PDF beside the exported spreadsheet during review. The PDF remains the source document, while the Excel or CSV file becomes the working ledger used for filtering, coding, reconciliation, and upload into downstream bookkeeping systems.
Use these canonical pages to compare formats, verify data handling, and move from PDF extraction into accounting review.
