Printed structure: PDF with Date, Description, Amount, Balance — debits as negative

Amounts use a period decimal; particulars/code/reference fields are preserved as separate description parts.
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 Kiwibank file runs 3–10 pages. Confirm its DD MMM YYYY dates, NZD signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Wholly owned by the New Zealand government through Kiwi Group Capital; it was set up in 2002 specifically to give New Zealanders a bank not owned by an Australian parent, unlike ANZ NZ, Westpac NZ, or ASB. 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 another bookkeeping system. Those routes preserve the DD MMM YYYY interpretation and NZD values established from the Kiwibank source.
The Kiwibank PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The Kiwibank transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 for New Zealand account holders.
Kiwibank statements typically arrive as PDF with Date, Description, Amount, Balance — debits as negative. ClearlyLedger's Kiwibank profile reads that layout, plus scanned and password-protected exports, and reconstructs Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns.
