Convert AIB bank statements to Excel, CSV & QBO
Convert AIB bank statements (PDF or scanned) to Excel, CSV, QBO or OFX, reconciled against the closing balance. Free for 20 pages a month.
Quick answer
Download your AIB bank statement as a PDF from AIB Internet Banking under Statements, upload it to StatementPilot, and export Excel, CSV, QBO, OFX or QIF. We check that the "BALANCE FORWARD" plus every transaction equals the "Closing balance" so you know nothing was missed.
What a AIB bank statement looks like
AIB statements list Date, Details, Debit €, Credit € and Balance €, starting with 'BALANCE FORWARD'.
Irish statements show IBAN and BIC in the header and list Details, Debit, Credit and Balance columns with a 'Balance forward' line.
How to convert a AIB statement
- Sign in to AIB Internet Banking under Statements and download the statement for the period you need as a PDF (not a screenshot).
- If the PDF is password-protected, open it and save an unprotected copy first.
- Upload one or several months to StatementPilot. Scanned or photographed statements are read with OCR.
- Check the reconciliation panel: the "BALANCE FORWARD" plus deposits minus withdrawals should equal the "Closing balance".
- Export to Excel or CSV for analysis, or QBO/OFX/QIF to import into Xero, Sage and QuickBooks Online.
Dates, amounts and account numbers in Ireland
Amounts use 1,234.56 with Debit and Credit columns. We read the date order from the statement itself and default to DD/MM/YYYY for Ireland, so 03/04 is never silently swapped.
Accounts are identified by IBAN and BIC. Only the masked or last digits are carried into QBO/OFX files, as those importers expect.
Importing AIB transactions into your accounting software
Accountants in Ireland most often import into Xero, Sage, QuickBooks Online and Surf Accounts. Choose QBO for QuickBooks, the Xero CSV for Xero, OFX for most other packages, or Excel/CSV for anything else.
When your bank feed only goes back a few months, converted AIB statements fill the gap for older periods without manual typing.
Why statements are still needed
eStatements are generally retained in online banking for at least 6 years.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a AIB bank statement to Excel?
Yes. Upload the PDF and download an .xlsx file with date, description, amount and balance columns plus a summary sheet showing the balance forward, closing balance and reconciliation result.
How do I get my AIB statement as a PDF?
Statements are available in AIB Internet Banking under Statements. Choose the statement period and download or save it as a PDF; a printed copy can also be scanned or photographed and uploaded.
Can I import AIB transactions into Xero?
Yes. Export the converted statement in the format Xero accepts (QBO, OFX or a formatted CSV) and import it as a bank statement file. Dates are written in the format your software expects.
Do I need a AIB template?
No. StatementPilot doesn't rely on bank-specific templates, so redesigned AIB statements and older layouts both work. The reconciliation check confirms nothing was missed.
