Read the Scotiabank source layout correctly

Printed structure: PDF with Date, Description, Withdrawals ($), Deposits ($), Balance ($)

Date notation: DD MMM. Money notation: C$ CAD. Observed statement size: 3–12 pages.

Amounts use a period decimal; bilingual (EN/FR) narrations are preserved verbatim.

Fields and row patterns found in Scotiabank PDFs

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:

  • Scotiabank checkpoint 1: Date column uses abbreviated month and day without year
  • Scotiabank checkpoint 2: SCENE and Scotia Rewards redemptions appear as negative withdrawals
  • Scotiabank checkpoint 3: Cheque images embedded as separate pages after transaction table
  • Scotiabank checkpoint 4: US dollar transactions show CAD equivalent in parentheses

Review the Scotiabank extraction

A typical Scotiabank file runs 3–12 pages. Confirm its DD MMM dates, CAD signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Date column uses abbreviated month and day without year. The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.

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

Use the Scotiabank output in Canada

Excel suits source-document review and coding. CSV suits mapped imports into QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50 Canada or Wave. Those routes preserve the DD MMM interpretation and CAD values established from the Scotiabank source.

Scotiabank privacy and retention

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