Printed structure: PDF with Date, Description, Debits, Credits, Balance for personal checking; credit card statements use a different schema
Date notation: MM/DD/YY. Money notation: $ USD. Observed statement size: 8–25 pages.
Amounts use comma thousands separators and a period decimal; parentheses or CR/DR markers denote credits.
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:
A typical Citibank file runs 8–25 pages. Confirm its MM/DD/YY dates, USD signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Traces to City Bank of New York, chartered in 1812, making it one of the oldest banking names still operating in the United States, decades before it became First National City Bank and eventually Citibank. The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.
Excel suits source-document review and coding. CSV suits mapped imports into QuickBooks Online, Xero, Wave or NetSuite. Those routes preserve the MM/DD/YY interpretation and USD values established from the Citibank source.
The Citi PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The Citi transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around US data-handling expectations for United States account holders.
Citibank statements typically arrive as PDF with Date, Description, Debits, Credits, Balance for personal checking; credit card statements use a different schema. ClearlyLedger's Citi profile reads that layout, plus scanned and password-protected exports, and reconstructs Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns.
This guide highlights common Citi statement characteristics — for example: Traces to City Bank of New York, chartered in 1812, making it one of the oldest banking names still operating in the United States, decades before it became First National City Bank and eventually Citibank.
