About St.George statements

St.George Bank serves around 1.5 million customers, primarily in New South Wales, and is part of the Westpac Group while operating under its own brand and statement format. St.George Internet Banking exports PDF statements for the St.George Complete Freedom transaction account, Maxi Saver, and the St.George business banking range. While St.George shares ownership with Westpac, the PDF statement layout is distinct — Date, Description, Withdrawals, Deposits, and Balance columns in a slightly more compact layout than Westpac's, with the iconic St.George dragon logo in the header. The Description field is shorter and cleaner than Westpac's verbose narrative, making St.George statements easier to parse but requiring less aggressive cleanup. Common account holders include NSW-based small businesses, retail operators, and professionals who prefer the St.George brand over its Westpac parent. Bookkeepers handling these clients monthly will know the manual conversion grind well. Our converter parses St.George statements with high accuracy, handles the separate Withdrawals/Deposits column structure correctly (no merged Amount column), preserves the cleaner descriptions for direct use in Xero bank rules and MYOB matching, and outputs files ready for instant import into your accounting software of choice.

Catching up on St.George statements?

A backlog of St.George PDFs — a new client who's behind, or the months before a bank feed starts — is the job Ledger Pilot is built for.

• Months or years of statements at once

  Upload up to 50 PDFs in one batch on the Business plan and get a separate result for each statement, each with its own reconciliation check.

• Combined PDFs split for you

  When a file holds several statements, we can split it where each one prints its own statement period and convert them separately. If the boundaries aren't clear, we tell you rather than guess.

• Scanned statements

  If our standard parser can't verify a statement — a scan, or a layout we don't recognise yet — it can be read with AI-assisted extraction (PDFs up to 30 pages). We only use that result if it adds up, and we tell you when it was used.

• Checked to the cent

  Every statement is checked from its opening balance to its closing balance. If the numbers don't add up — a missing page, say — you see it before anything reaches your ledger.

Bigger backlog than your monthly pages? One-off catch-up packs add 2,000 or 5,000 page credits without changing your plan. Step-by-step help is in our guides, and how statement data is handled is on our Security page.
