About Permanent TSB statements
Permanent TSB is a smaller Irish retail bank and its online banking goes by the name Open24. For a high-street account like this, the statement is a normal monthly PDF you pull from Open24 internet banking, under Statements.
The part a copy-paste can't handle is the layout. A Permanent TSB statement shows card payments, direct debits and SEPA transfers in the description, in euro, usually on a personal account. The converter reads all of that into its own columns instead of losing it.
Dates come through as DD/MM/YYYY and the figures stay in EUR (euro), so the converted file matches what you'd expect locally. If your only copy is a scan or a phone photo, that's fine — OCR handles it, and the totals still get reconciled.
What lands in QuickBooks is a clean, checked file — so the only thing left is the reconciling you'd do anyway.
Why people convert Permanent TSB to QuickBooks
A Permanent TSB feed into QuickBooks can lag by a few days or stop mid-month, leaving a gap right when you're trying to close. Converting the statement PDF hands you the exact period as an upload file, so the close isn't held up by the feed.
The common case is a bookkeeper handed a folder of Permanent TSB PDFs and told to "get these into QuickBooks." Converting each one is far quicker than retyping, and the balance check means you trust the totals before they land in the books.
Import a Permanent TSB statement into QuickBooks
QuickBooks Online takes a CSV; QuickBooks Desktop takes a .qbo Web Connect file.
- Convert the PDF above. For QuickBooks Online download the QuickBooks CSV; for Desktop download the QBO.
- QuickBooks Online: Banking → Bank transactions → Link account → Upload from file.
- Pick the CSV, map Date / Description / Amount, choose the account, and import.
- QuickBooks Desktop: File → Utilities → Import → Web Connect Files, then select the .qbo.
infoOne honest caveat
The QBO file carries a placeholder bank id, so QuickBooks Desktop can reject it with an OL-301 error ("not a participating financial institution") until you set your own bank's id. For a reliable import, use the QuickBooks CSV in QuickBooks Online instead — we don't claim the QBO will import everywhere.
The totals are checked first
The converter checks the maths before handing you the file — so if a transaction dropped out of the PDF, you know about it now, not when the QuickBooks balance is off.
Frequently asked questions
Will the Permanent TSB file import into QuickBooks?expand_more
In QuickBooks Online the CSV imports cleanly under Banking → Upload from file. The Desktop QBO can hit an OL-301 error ("not a participating financial institution") until you set your own bank's id — so for Online, stick with the CSV.

From Open24 internet banking, under Statements. Save the PDF, then drop it into the converter above — multi-page and multi-month statements are read in one go.
