ClearlyLedger converts DBS and POSB PDF bank statements into structured Excel and CSV files for Singapore accountants, bookkeepers, SME owners, and finance teams. The DBS profile handles SGD formatting, PayNow and FAST narration, DBS Multiplier and multi-currency rows, GST-related fee lines, and balance verification before export.

DBS and POSB statements commonly include transaction date, value date or posting context, description, debit, credit, and balance fields. Savings and current accounts can also include PayNow, FAST, GIRO, bill payment, and card transaction narration that wraps across lines.
ClearlyLedger detects DBS-style layouts and maps those rows into a consistent Excel or CSV structure without losing the counterparty details that matter during reconciliation.
DBS Multiplier and multi-currency accounts can mix SGD activity with foreign-currency context. Generic converters often flatten currency notes, GST fee lines, or PayNow references into noisy descriptions.
The DBS profile preserves PayNow, FAST, GIRO, merchant, and transfer context while normalizing SGD amounts into clean debit, credit, and balance fields.
Use Excel when you need to review DBS statement rows for monthly close, IRAS/GST support, loan applications, or cash-flow analysis. Use CSV when you need a file for Xero, QuickBooks Online, or another reconciliation workflow.
ClearlyLedger verifies that extracted credits and debits reconcile to the printed closing balance before export, which helps catch missing wrapped rows and sign errors before they reach the ledger.
Printed statement structure: PDF with Date, Description, Withdrawals (SGD), Deposits (SGD), Balance (SGD)
Source conventions: DD MMM YYYY dates, S$ SGD amounts, and 4–12 pages.
These DBS details identify the rows most likely to need inspection after extraction. Review the first and final transaction, each PDF page boundary, and any row affected by the observations above before using the spreadsheet in an accounting import.
