Quick answer
Download your National Bank of Canada bank statement as a PDF from National Bank online banking under Statements, upload it to StatementPilot, and export Excel, CSV, QBO, OFX or QIF. We check that the "Solde précédent" plus every transaction equals the "Nouveau solde" so you know nothing was missed.
What a National Bank of Canada bank statement looks like
National Bank statements are frequently in French ('Relevé de compte') with Retraits, Dépôts and Solde columns and comma decimals.
Canadian bank statements commonly show a running balance on every line, with separate Withdrawals and Deposits columns, and dates printed as 'Jan 05' without the year.
How to convert a National Bank of Canada statement
- Sign in to National Bank online 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 "Solde précédent" plus deposits minus withdrawals should equal the "Nouveau solde".
- Export to Excel or CSV for analysis, or QBO/OFX/QIF to import into QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage 50.
Dates, amounts and account numbers in Canada
English statements use 1,234.56 while French-language statements use 1 234,56. Date order varies by bank, so we detect it from the statement itself. We read the date order from the statement itself and default to DD/MM/YYYY for Canada, so 03/04 is never silently swapped.
Accounts are identified by a transit (branch) number, institution number and account number. Only the masked or last digits are carried into QBO/OFX files, as those importers expect.
Importing National Bank of Canada transactions into your accounting software
Accountants in Canada most often import into QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50 and Excel. 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 National Bank of Canada statements fill the gap for older periods without manual typing.
Why statements are still needed
Paperless statements are typically available for up to 7 years in online banking.
