Rabobank Statement to Excel Converter

ClearlyLedger converts Rabobank PDF rekeningafschrift files into structured Excel and CSV for Dutch bookkeepers, accountants and ZZP'ers. Rabobank is structured as a cooperative rather than a shareholder-owned bank, formed by a 1972 merger of two Dutch agricultural credit cooperatives, and remains one of the world's largest lenders to the global food and agriculture sector.

What does the signed Bedrag column mean on a Rabobank statement?

Rabobank prints a single signed Bedrag column rather than separate debit and credit fields, which needs splitting on import, and Dutch comma decimals need normalizing before the amounts work in spreadsheet formulas.

ClearlyLedger splits the signed Bedrag column automatically and converts Dutch number formatting into standard decimal values.

How are iDEAL, incasso and business batch rows handled?

iDEAL and incasso (direct debit) references should stay attached to the transaction description rather than being dropped, and business statements may include dense payment-batch rows that need row-by-row extraction rather than a summarised total.

In Dutch, this document is a rekeningafschrift: Rabobank is geen aandelenbank maar een coöperatie, ontstaan in 1972 uit de fusie van twee agrarische kredietcoöperaties, en is wereldwijd een van de grootste financiers van de voedsel- en landbouwsector.

Which export should I use for Dutch bookkeeping and a BTW-aangifte?

Use Excel when reviewing figures for a boekhouder, annual accounts, or preparing a BTW-aangifte. Use CSV for import into Dutch accounting software such as Exact Online or Twinfield.

ClearlyLedger's balance verification checks extracted rows against the printed saldo before export, helping catch a missing row before bookkeeping starts.
