Common pain points with this format:

Running Balance Cross-Check

Arab Bank statements include a running balance column that most converters ignore. Without validating it, missing or duplicate transactions go undetected. We extract this balance and cross-check it against opening/closing balances to ensure every transaction is accounted for.

Separate Credit & Debit Columns

Arab Bank plc statements use separate Credit and Debit columns in some formats, while others use a single Amount column with signs. Treating one layout like the other leads to wrong amounts or flipped signs. We automatically detect which layout is used and normalize the output.

Missing Year in Dates

Arab Bank statements omit the year from transaction dates (e.g., "15/03" instead of "15/03/2025"), which makes it impossible to sort or reconcile without guessing. We infer the correct year from the statement period and surrounding context.

Plus/Minus Sign After the Amount

These statements place the plus or minus sign after the amount (e.g., "123.45-" instead of "-123.45"). Spreadsheets and accounting tools do not recognize this notation, treating amounts as text instead of numbers. We normalize these values automatically.

Inconsistent Date Formats

Arab Bank plc statements use different date formats within the same document (e.g., "30 Jun 2025" for statement dates and "15/03/2025" for transactions), which can cause date parsing errors or silent misinterpretation. We normalize all dates to a consistent format automatically.

Multiple Dates per Transaction

The bank's statements show multiple dates per transaction (transaction date, posting date, value date), and it is not always obvious which one to use for bookkeeping. We consistently extract the posting date so your records match your bank balance.
