About AIB Statements
Allied Irish Banks (AIB) is one of Ireland's largest banks, providing comprehensive financial services across the island. Irish statements use UK/IE banking conventions with amounts in Euros and clear sort code displays. The bank's digital transformation has resulted in statements optimized for electronic delivery and accounting integration.
Statement Conversion Notes
AIB statements use Irish IBAN format (IE followed by 22 characters). Direct debits show merchant reference numbers.
AIB Statement Format Details
Understanding the specific layout and structure of AIB PDF statements helps ensure accurate conversion to QFX. Here is what our parser handles for this bank:
1
Allied Irish Banks (AIB) statements use Irish/UK date format DD/MM/YYYY throughout — dates must be converted to MM/DD/YYYY or ISO 8601 when importing into US accounting software
2
AIB IBAN format starts with IE followed by 20 digits — the sort code (6 digits) and account number (8 digits) are embedded within the IBAN and appear separately in the statement header for domestic payment purposes
3
Business accounts enrolled in "AIB Merchant Services" include a separate "Card Transactions" section with terminal ID (TID) and merchant ID (MID) per settlement batch — these batch settlement rows should not be confused with individual card purchase transactions
4
Northern Ireland accounts operate in GBP while Republic of Ireland accounts operate in EUR — cross-border accounts may show both currencies with the daily exchange rate applied to cross-currency transfers
5
AIB statements identify payment type using a 3-letter transaction code in the description: "VIS" for Visa card, "MAS" for Mastercard, "DIR" for direct debit, "STD" for standing order, "ATM" for cash withdrawal — these codes enable automatic categorization during conversion
6
Online statement PDFs downloaded from AIB Internet Banking include a digital watermark with the download timestamp — this watermark is visually overlaid but does not interfere with text extraction from the underlying PDF layer
Supported Statement Versions
- 2019-2024 Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland statements supported
- AIB Internet Banking PDF downloads preferred over mailed paper statements
- AIB Business Online statements include additional batch settlement columns not present in personal statements
Known Issues We Handle
- Northern Ireland accounts (GBP) and Republic of Ireland accounts (EUR) use the same PDF template — the currency is only specified in the column header, so verifying the header before conversion is important to avoid currency misidentification
- Cross-border EUR/GBP transfers appear as two separate transactions (debit in source currency, credit in destination currency) on separate dates — both rows must be retained in the export to maintain balance continuity
