Xero CentralTransform Alpha Bank PDFs into clean, organized Xero files in seconds. Validated against your statement balances.
Understanding the specific layout and structure of Alpha Bank PDF statements helps ensure accurate conversion to Xero. Here is what our parser handles for this bank:
Alpha Bank (Greece) statements use DD/MM/YYYY date format and display amounts in EUR with a period thousands separator and comma decimal (e.g., "1.234,56") — this European number format must be parsed with locale-aware handling
Greek-language statements include transaction description headers in Greek (e.g., "ΗΜΕΡΟΜΗΝΙΑ" for date, "ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ" for description) — the column order is consistent across both Greek and English statement versions
IBAN for Alpha Bank Greece accounts starts with GR followed by 25 digits — the full IBAN appears in the statement header and can be extracted as account metadata
SEPA credit transfers in Greek statements include the "Λόγος Πληρωμής" (payment reason/reference) field — this 140-character field maps to the memo column and often contains the invoice or contract number
Business statements from "Alpha e-Business" internet banking include a transaction timestamp (HH:MM:SS) alongside the posting date — the time is displayed in a separate sub-column not present in personal account statements
ATM cash withdrawal descriptions show the specific ATM terminal ID in the format "ΑΤΜ [terminal ID] [location] [city]" — the terminal ID and location are useful for reconciling branch-based cash withdrawals
Card POS transaction descriptions use the merchant acquirer reference (MID) rather than the merchant name for some supermarket and fuel station transactions — a supplementary merchant lookup may be needed for clean payee names
