What does a OCBC statement PDF look like?

Printed structure: PDF with Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance — sometimes with Transaction Reference

Date notation: DD/MM/YYYY. Money notation: S$ SGD. Observed statement size: 4–10 pages.

Amounts use a period decimal; FAST/GIRO references in the narration are preserved.

What fields does OCBC Bank 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:

  • OCBC checkpoint 1: Formed in 1932 through the merger of three Chinese-run Singapore banks during the Great Depression — Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation's name still reflects that origin — and one of Singapore's three homegrown local banks alongside DBS and UOB
  • OCBC checkpoint 2: Transaction reference number appears on a second line in the description field
  • OCBC checkpoint 3: Cashback credits labelled as REBATE — not to be treated as regular income
  • OCBC checkpoint 4: Year-end statement may span multiple account types on one PDF

How do I check a OCBC conversion before using it?

A typical OCBC Bank file runs 4–10 pages. Confirm its DD/MM/YYYY dates, SGD signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Formed in 1932 through the merger of three Chinese-run Singapore banks during the Great Depression — Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation's name still reflects that origin — and one of Singapore's three homegrown local banks alongside DBS and UOB. The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.

  1. Upload the OCBC Bank PDF.
  2. Inspect the documented OCBC row patterns.
  3. Reconcile the SGD transaction math.
  4. Download verified OCBC Excel or CSV data.

Which accounting tools accept OCBC Excel or CSV files?

Excel suits source-document review and coding. CSV suits mapped imports into Xero, QuickBooks, Financio or another bookkeeping system. Those routes preserve the DD/MM/YYYY interpretation and SGD values established from the OCBC Bank source.

Is my OCBC statement data kept private?

The OCBC PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The OCBC transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around Singapore's PDPA for Singapore account holders.
