About Westpac NZ statements
Westpac New Zealand is one of NZ's big four banks and uses the Westpac One online banking service. The file you want is the official statement PDF from Westpac One internet banking or the app, under Statements, not a printed mini-statement or a transaction search.
A Westpac One statement often bundles several accounts into one PDF, each keeping its own NZD balance and payment detail. That's exactly the detail that gets scrambled when you paste a PDF into a spreadsheet, and exactly what the converter preserves, column by column.
You keep NZD (New Zealand dollars) amounts and DD/MM/YYYY dates end to end, so nothing needs re-checking after the import. A scanned statement is no problem; it's read with OCR into the same layout, with the balance checked either way.
From there it's a normal Xero import: the heavy lifting of reading the PDF is already done.
Why people convert Westpac NZ to Xero
Sometimes it's simplest to skip the Westpac NZ feed altogether — a one-off account, a client who won't share logins, a period the feed never covered. The converted file drops straight into Xero's Import a Statement screen and reconciles like any other month.
It's handy mid-year too, not just at catch-up. A one-off Westpac NZ account, a statement the feed skipped, or a closed account you still need on file — convert the PDF and it goes into Xero like any other import.
Import a Westpac NZ statement into Xero
Xero takes the CSV through its own Import a Statement screen.
- Convert the PDF above and download the Xero CSV.
- In Xero: Accounting → Bank accounts.
- Open the account, then Manage account → Import a statement.
- Upload the CSV — the date, description and amount columns line up.
- Reconcile the imported lines as usual.
The totals are checked first
Before the Xero-ready CSV downloads, the running balance is checked end to end. A missing or doubled line is caught at this step, not after it's already in Xero.
Frequently asked questions
Will it import into Xero?expand_more
Yes — the CSV goes in through Xero's Import a Statement screen and the date, description and amount columns line up, so you go straight to reconciling. If Xero asks you to confirm the column mapping the first time, save it and later imports remember the layout.
What's on a Westpac NZ statement?expand_more
A Westpac One statement often bundles several accounts into one PDF, each keeping its own NZD balance and payment detail. The converter reads each of those into its own column, so the Xero-ready CSV imports into Xero cleanly.
Where do I download the Westpac NZ statement?expand_more
From Westpac One internet banking or the app, under Statements. Save the PDF, then drop it into the converter above — multi-page and multi-month statements are read in one go.
Does it work on a scanned Westpac NZ statement?expand_more
Yes. Scanned or photographed PDFs are read with OCR into the same columns, and the balance check still runs, so a scan converts the same as a digital download.
Is it free?expand_more
Converting is free to start. Excel, CSV and JSON download with no login; the Xero file needs a free sign-in.
