About Westpac statements
Westpac is Australia's oldest bank, founded in 1817, with around 13 million customers across personal, business, and institutional banking. Westpac PDF statements come in two main formats: the modern Westpac Online Banking export used for personal accounts, and the slightly older format still issued for some business products. Both contain Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit, and Balance columns, but the Narrative field is notably longer and more verbose than competitors — incorporating merchant codes, BPAY references, and transaction-type tags in a single concatenated string. This makes accurate parsing tricky without proper field separation. Bookkeepers commonly process Westpac statements for clients holding Choice transaction accounts, Westpac Business One accounts, Altitude credit card statements, and Westpac eSaver products. Converting them to Excel or CSV for tax preparation, monthly GST reconciliation, or import into Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks is a recurring task that eats hours. Our converter extracts every line from Westpac PDFs with proper handling of multi-line narratives, splits compound transactions where needed, and outputs files matching the exact format your accounting software expects. Whether you're preparing a BAS, reconciling a quarter's expenses, or auditing a client's trading account, you'll save hours every month.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I get a PDF statement from Westpac Online Banking?
- Sign in to Westpac Online Banking, click the account name, go to "Statements & Documents", select the period you need, and click "Download PDF". Up to seven years of statements are available.
- Does the converter handle Westpac Altitude credit card statements?
- Yes. Altitude statements use the same Westpac PDF format and are processed the same way as transaction accounts. Foreign currency transactions are preserved in a separate column.
- How do I import a Westpac statement into MYOB?
- Convert your Westpac PDF to our MYOB format (QIF — Quicken Interchange Format), then in MYOB AccountRight go to Banking > Get Statement and import the QIF file.
- My Westpac narrative field has BPAY codes mixed in. Are they separated?
- Yes. Our parser extracts BPAY reference numbers and biller codes into separate columns, leaving the merchant description clean for Xero/MYOB matching rules.
- Can I convert multiple Westpac statements at once?
- Yes — batch upload is available on the Business plan. Upload up to 12 Westpac PDFs in one go (15 MB each, one bank per batch) and get a separate converted file for each statement, with a reconciliation check per file.
