ClearlyLedger converts OCBC Bank (Singapore) PDF statements into clean Excel and CSV files. This guide covers the common OCBC pdf layout, DD/MM/YYYY dates and SGD amounts. Exports are released only when verification checks pass. Most OCBC statements (4–10 pages) finish in under 60 seconds with no signup required for your first file.

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.
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 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. Transaction reference number appears on a second line in the description field. 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, QuickBooks, Financio or another bookkeeping system. Those routes preserve the DD/MM/YYYY interpretation and SGD values established from the OCBC Bank source.
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.
OCBC Bank statements typically arrive as PDF with Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance — sometimes with Transaction Reference. ClearlyLedger's OCBC profile reads that layout, plus scanned and password-protected exports, and reconstructs Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns.
This guide highlights common OCBC statement characteristics — for example: Transaction reference number appears on a second line in the description field. The conversion is released only after its verification checks pass.
Yes. Export to CSV and import into Xero, QuickBooks, Financio or any tool that accepts a transaction file. The DD/MM/YYYY dates and SGD amounts are normalised so the import maps cleanly.
