What does a DKB statement PDF look like?

Printed structure: Umsatzanzeige PDF with Buchungstag, Wertstellung, Umsatzart, Verwendungszweck, Betrag

Date notation: DD.MM.YYYY. Money notation: € EUR. Observed statement size: 2–10 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 Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) 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:

  • DKB checkpoint 1: Originally the Staatsbank der DDR, East Germany's central bank, before German reunification in 1990 restructured it into an ordinary commercial bank — a distinctly East German origin unlike the West German banks also covered on this site
  • DKB checkpoint 2: Branch-free online bank, so every statement is a consistently formatted digital export rather than a scanned or branch-printed layout
  • DKB checkpoint 3: German decimal notation: period as thousands separator, comma as decimal (1.234,56)
  • DKB checkpoint 4: Checking account (DKB-Cash) and the linked Visa card produce separate statement PDFs that need matching manually, not one combined export
  • DKB checkpoint 5: Umsatzart column labels the transaction type (e.g. Überweisung, Lastschrift, Kartenzahlung) separately from the free-text Verwendungszweck field

How do I check a DKB conversion before using it?

A typical Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) file runs 2–10 pages. Confirm its DD.MM.YYYY dates, EUR signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Originally the Staatsbank der DDR, East Germany's central bank, before German reunification in 1990 restructured it into an ordinary commercial bank — a distinctly East German origin unlike the West German banks also covered on this site. The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.

  1. Upload the Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) PDF.
  2. Inspect the documented DKB row patterns.
  3. Reconcile the EUR transaction math.
  4. Download verified DKB Excel or CSV data.

Which accounting tools accept DKB Excel or CSV files?

Excel suits source-document review and coding. CSV suits mapped imports into DATEV, Lexoffice, sevDesk or QuickBooks. Those routes preserve the DD.MM.YYYY interpretation and EUR values established from the Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB) source.

Is my DKB statement data kept private?

The DKB PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The DKB transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around the EU GDPR for Germany account holders.
