Bank Statement Converter Features
ExtractaLedger converts PDF bank statements into validated Excel spreadsheets for South African accounting professionals. Every conversion is checked for accuracy before you download.
Accurate Transaction Extraction
Reads your PDF and extracts every transaction into a clean spreadsheet. Each row includes the posting date, description, debit or credit amount, and running balance.
Balance Checks and Validation
Opening balance, closing balance, and running totals are verified row by row. Anomalies are flagged on a Validation sheet so you can review them before use.
