About Permanent TSB statements
Permanent TSB is a smaller Irish retail bank and its online banking goes by the name Open24. You grab the statement PDF from Open24 internet banking, under Statements — same as you would for any branch-based account.
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.
Amounts stay in EUR (euro) and dates keep the DD/MM/YYYY order — no quiet day/month swaps on the way out. Scanned or photographed PDFs work too: OCR reads them into the same columns, and the running balance is checked before anything downloads.
You end up with a file Zoho Books accepts on the first try, with the PDF-wrangling taken care of before it gets there.
Why people convert Permanent TSB to Zoho Books
If you're reconciling a client's Permanent TSB account in Zoho Books, you'll hit months with no live feed. A converted CSV imports straight into Banking → Import Statement, so the gaps fill in without retyping.
It also saves the back-and-forth at year end. Instead of asking a client for a CSV their Permanent TSB login may not even offer, you take the PDF they already have and convert it, so the numbers in Zoho Books match the statement line for line.
Import a Permanent TSB statement into Zoho Books
Zoho Books imports a CSV — there's no separate Zoho file, so you use the clean CSV.
- Convert the PDF above and download the CSV.
- In Zoho Books: Banking → pick the account → Import Statement.
- Upload the CSV and map Date / Description / Amount.
- Import, then categorise the lines.
The totals are checked first
The totals are checked before you download. If a row is missing, the statement gets flagged right here — so a gap shows up before it reaches Zoho Books or your client, not after.
