Read the SMBC source layout correctly

Printed structure: PDF with 取引日 (Transaction Date), 摘要 (Description), 出金 (Withdrawal), 入金 (Deposit), 残高 (Balance)

Date notation: YYYY/MM/DD. Money notation: ¥ JPY. Observed statement size: 3-12 pages.

Yen has no decimal subunit, so amounts appear as whole numbers; full-width (zenkaku) digits are converted to standard numerals before parsing.

Fields and row patterns found in Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation 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:

  • SMBC checkpoint 1: Transaction type is labelled directly in Japanese — 振込 for transfers, 引落 for automatic withdrawals — rather than using a generic debit/credit column
  • SMBC checkpoint 2: Corporate account statements list a separate branch code (支店コード) block above the transaction table that must be skipped
  • SMBC checkpoint 3: Reference numbers for automatic debits (口座振替) are appended to the description field rather than shown in their own column

Review the SMBC extraction

A typical Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation file runs 3-12 pages. Confirm its YYYY/MM/DD dates, JPY signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Transaction type is labelled directly in Japanese — 振込 for transfers, 引落 for automatic withdrawals — rather than using a generic debit/credit column. The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.

Use the SMBC output in Japan

Excel suits source-document review and coding. CSV suits mapped imports into Yayoi (弥生会計), freee, Money Forward Cloud or QuickBooks. Those routes preserve the YYYY/MM/DD interpretation and JPY values established from the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation source.

SMBC privacy and retention

The SMBC PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The SMBC transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) for Japan account holders.
