Printed structure: PDF with Date, Details, Withdrawals, Deposits, Balance — transaction descriptions often wrap onto continuation lines
Date notation: DD MMM YY. Money notation: A$ AUD. Observed statement size: 4–14 pages.
Amounts use a period decimal; Osko/PayID and BSB-linked narrations are kept intact.
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 Westpac file runs 4–14 pages. Confirm its DD MMM YY dates, AUD signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. In 2019 Westpac was fined a record AUD 1.3 billion by Australian regulator AUSTRAC for tens of millions of breaches of anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism-financing law — the largest civil penalty in Australian corporate history at the time. 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 Reckon. Those routes preserve the DD MMM YY interpretation and AUD values established from the Westpac source.
The Westpac PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The Westpac transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around the Australian Privacy Act 1988 for Australia account holders.
Westpac statements typically arrive as PDF with Date, Details, Withdrawals, Deposits, Balance — transaction descriptions often wrap onto continuation lines. ClearlyLedger's Westpac profile reads that layout, plus scanned and password-protected exports, and reconstructs Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns.
This guide highlights common Westpac statement characteristics — for example: In 2019 Westpac was fined a record AUD 1.3 billion by Australian regulator AUSTRAC for tens of millions of breaches of anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism-financing law — the largest civil penalty in Australian corporate history at the time. The conversion is released only after its verification checks pass.
Yes. Export to CSV and import into Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or any tool that accepts a transaction file. The DD MMM YY dates and AUD amounts are normalised so the import maps cleanly.
