Convert ADCB Bank Statement to Excel
For a VAT-registered SME in Abu Dhabi, the ADCB current account statement is a core FTA record — the Federal Tax Authority expects transaction-level books kept for at least five years, and quarterly returns are built from exactly the kind of detail the statement holds. ADCB prints each entry with posting and value dates in DD/MM/YYYY, a narrative that mixes cheque numbers, POS references, and counterparty names, and separate debit and credit columns feeding a running AED balance. Personal customers lean on the same documents for different reasons: TouchPoints-earning salary accounts, car-loan applications, and the paperwork landlords and typing centres ask for. Either way, getting that content into a spreadsheet by hand means re-keying hundreds of cells and hoping every cheque number stayed attached to the right amount. SheetMyBank does the transcription in seconds and — more importantly — proves it: every extracted row is recomputed against the balance column, so the spreadsheet demonstrably matches the PDF.
ADCB emails monthly e-statements as password-protected PDFs and also lets you generate statements on demand from Personal Internet Banking or the ADCB Mobile App — open your account’s statement or e-statement options, choose the period, and download. For the emailed version, the message that delivers it describes how the password is composed from your registered personal details; open the file with that password and re-save an unlocked copy, since no converter can read an encrypted PDF. Then load it into SheetMyBank. Processing happens entirely on your device — the statement never touches a server, and the page keeps working offline once loaded, which suits finance teams with strict data-handling rules. Day-first dates are recognised automatically, Arabic and English text both carry through into the description column, and any row whose figures don’t reconcile with the running balance is pushed to a Warnings sheet instead of hiding in your books.

ADCB statement FAQ
Will the converted ADCB statement satisfy FTA record-keeping for my VAT-registered business?
The FTA requires records supporting your returns for at least five years, and a transaction-level spreadsheet built from the official statement is a solid working layer for that. Because every row is verified against ADCB’s own running balance — with discrepancies isolated on a Warnings sheet — you can show the Excel file faithfully reflects the source PDF. Keep the original PDFs too; the statement itself remains the primary record.
My ADCB statement mixes Arabic and English in the transaction descriptions — does that break the conversion?
No. Amounts, dates, and balances are identified by their column positions and numeric structure, not by the language around them, so bilingual narratives pass through into the description cells while the figures land where they belong.
I only have a scanned, branch-stamped printout of an older ADCB statement — can it still become Excel?
Yes — built-in OCR reads scanned pages and even phone photos, and the same balance verification runs afterwards. That check matters most for OCR: a misread digit breaks the balance chain and gets flagged rather than slipping into your books unnoticed.
