What does a AIB statement PDF look like?

Printed structure: PDF with Date, Transaction Details, Debit, Credit, Balance

Date notation: DD/MM/YYYY. Money notation: € EUR. Observed statement size: 3–10 pages.

Depending on the country, amounts may use a comma decimal and period thousands separator (1.234,56); the locale is detected before parsing so credits and debits are never swapped.

What fields does Allied Irish Banks print on each transaction row?

The profile uses the bank-specific observations below as review checkpoints. They describe the source document rather than making a generic promise about every PDF:

  • AIB checkpoint 1: Ireland's largest bank by assets, AIB traces to a 1966 amalgamation of three banks and was majority state-owned from its 2010-11 financial-crisis bailout until the Irish government fully exited its shareholding around 2023
  • AIB checkpoint 2: Direct debit originator name appears on a second line under the description
  • AIB checkpoint 3: Contactless card transactions tagged with 'POS' prefix and merchant name
  • AIB checkpoint 4: SEPA Credit Transfer entries include the IBAN of the counterparty in narration
  • AIB checkpoint 5: Annual fee and quarterly maintenance fee posted as separate single-line debits

How do I check a AIB conversion before using it?

A typical Allied Irish Banks file runs 3–10 pages. Confirm its DD/MM/YYYY dates, EUR signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Ireland's largest bank by assets, AIB traces to a 1966 amalgamation of three banks and was majority state-owned from its 2010-11 financial-crisis bailout until the Irish government fully exited its shareholding around 2023. The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.

Is my AIB statement data kept private?
