Converting a New Zealand bank statement
It shouldn't mean retyping rows, or wrestling with copy-paste that scrambles the columns. Upload your statement and every transaction comes out in tidy, dated rows — money in, money out and a running balance — ready to open in Excel or import into Xero.
The totals are proved
Opening balance plus credits minus debits is checked against the printed closing balance, in NZD ($). Anything that doesn't add up is flagged before you download.
Any New Zealand bank
Personal and business, high-street and app-only. Scanned and photographed statements are read with OCR, not just digital PDFs.
Nothing is kept
Files are processed and then deleted, and never used to train AI. Locked PDFs are unlocked in your browser, so the password never reaches us.
