What statement formats does Emirates NBD use?

Emirates NBD statements can appear in retail, Liv., business, and smartBUSINESS formats. The transaction table may include posting dates, value dates, cheque numbers, Direct Remit references, debit and credit amounts, and a running balance in AED.

ClearlyLedger detects those layouts automatically and maps rows into a consistent Excel or CSV structure without asking the user to pick a manual template.

How are password-protected and bilingual Emirates NBD PDFs handled?

Many Emirates NBD PDFs are password-protected and may include bilingual Arabic and English narration. Generic converters often fail before extraction or flatten the narration into unusable text.

ClearlyLedger unlocks the PDF in memory, keeps Arabic narration as reference context where present, and uses the English transaction description for review-friendly output.

Which export should I use for UAE accounting?

Use Excel when you need to review statement rows for VAT support, audit packs, mortgage applications, or Golden Visa evidence. Use CSV when the file needs to move into Tally Prime, Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online, or a reconciliation workbook.

The Emirates NBD profile preserves transaction references and verifies that opening balance plus credits minus debits matches the printed closing balance before export.
