When direct bank feeds break or a client hands over 12 months of historical PDF bank statements from Capitec, FNB, ABSA, Standard Bank, Nedbank, TymeBank, Discovery Bank, or Investec, manually preparing Xero or Sage Pastel import templates is one of the biggest bottlenecks in South African accounting practices.
ImgPipeline eliminates manual data entry by converting native and scanned South African PDF bank statements into verified CSV and OFX bank statement files in a single step.
How to Reconcile & Import PDF Statements into Xero or Sage
- Step 1 — Drop Your PDF Statements: Upload one or more PDF bank statements from any major South African bank.
- Step 2 — Verify the Reconciliation Badge: Confirm the green Verified Reconciled badge showing that Opening Balance − Debits + Credits matches Closing Balance to the cent.
- Step 3 — Export CSV or OFX: Download the OFX file for zero-mapping import into Xero/Sage, or download the structured CSV for Excel and SARS tax audit working papers.
