Printed structure: PDF with Date, Transaction, Debit, Credit, Balance — separate Opening and Closing balance rows
Date notation: DD MMM YYYY. Money notation: A$ AUD. Observed statement size: 4–15 pages.
Amounts use a period decimal; Osko/PayID and BSB-linked narrations are kept intact.
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 Commonwealth Bank file runs 4–15 pages. Confirm its DD MMM YYYY dates, AUD signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Pending and processed sections separated within the same statement. The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.
Excel suits source-document review and coding. CSV suits mapped imports into Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or Reckon. Those routes preserve the DD MMM YYYY interpretation and AUD values established from the Commonwealth Bank source.
The CommBank PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The CommBank transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around the Australian Privacy Act 1988 for Australia account holders.
Commonwealth Bank statements typically arrive as PDF with Date, Transaction, Debit, Credit, Balance — separate Opening and Closing balance rows. ClearlyLedger's CommBank profile reads that layout, plus scanned and password-protected exports, and reconstructs Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns.
This guide highlights common CommBank statement characteristics — for example: Pending and processed sections separated within the same statement. The conversion is released only after its verification checks pass.
Yes. Export to CSV and import into Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or any tool that accepts a transaction file. The DD MMM YYYY dates and AUD amounts are normalised so the import maps cleanly.
