About Equity Bank Statements
Equity Bank is Kenya's largest bank by customer base with operations across East Africa. Kenyan statements display amounts in Kenyan Shillings (KES) with African date formatting conventions. The focus on financial inclusion means statements include comprehensive M-Pesa mobile money integration details.
Statement Conversion Notes
Equity Bank statements use DD/MM/YYYY format. M-Pesa and Equitel mobile banking transactions are clearly categorized.
Equity Bank Statement Format Details
Understanding the specific layout and structure of Equity Bank PDF statements helps ensure accurate conversion to Sage. Here is what our parser handles for this bank:
1
Equity Bank (Kenya) statements use DD/MM/YYYY date format with KES currency displayed as "KShs" in the amount column — the "KShs" prefix must be stripped during numeric parsing
2
Equitel mobile banking transactions are identified with the prefix "EAZZY" in the description field (e.g., "EAZZY BANKING TRANSFER") — these are distinct from branch and ATM transactions
3
M-Pesa mobile money transactions appear in a separate sub-section labeled "MOBILE MONEY" with the sender/recipient phone number in the description — phone numbers should be treated as reference data, not payee names
4
Business account statements from the "EazzyBiz" platform include a 10-digit internal reference number in the leftmost column — this reference number is used for dispute resolution but is not part of the standard transaction description
5
Statements from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and DRC subsidiaries share the same PDF layout but show local currencies (UGX, TZS, RWF, CDF) — the currency code appears in the column header rather than inline with each amount
6
Account statements for "Equity BCDC" (Democratic Republic of Congo subsidiary) display amounts in USD rather than CDF for business accounts — verify the currency header before converting
7
Transaction descriptions for POS card payments follow the format "POS [merchant name] [city] [country code]" — the country code (e.g., KE, UG, TZ) indicates where the card was swiped
Supported Statement Versions
- 2019-2024 statements from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, DRC, and South Sudan supported
- EazzyBiz business portal PDF exports preferred over branch-printed statements
- Mobile app statement downloads (EazzyApp) use a condensed single-page format for low-volume months
Known Issues We Handle
- M-Pesa reversal transactions appear as paired debit/credit entries with "REVERSAL" in the description — both rows should be included in the export to maintain audit accuracy
- Regional subsidiary statements (Uganda, Tanzania) may show the exchange rate used for cross-border transfers in a footer note — this rate is informational and is not repeated inline per transaction

Converting Equity Bank Statements to Sage Accounting Format
Understanding Equity Bank's statement structure is crucial for accurate Sage conversion. M-Pesa mobile money transactions appear in a separate sub-section labeled "MOBILE MONEY" with the sender/recipient phone number in the description — phone numbers should be treated as reference data, not payee names. Our Sage export process handles these specific formatting characteristics automatically, ensuring that dates, amounts, descriptions, and running balances from Equity Bank PDFs are correctly parsed and organized in the output format, regardless of the original PDF layout complexity.
The Sage conversion process optimizes Equity Bank statements for Sage accounting import requirements. Our system maps Equity Bank's transaction structure to Sage's native format, including proper handling of debits, credits, VAT codes, and account references. This makes Sage the preferred choice for Equity Bank business customers who need reliable Sage integration for bookkeeping and financial reporting.
Important note for Equity Bank conversions: Equity Bank statements use DD/MM/YYYY format. M-Pesa and Equitel mobile banking transactions are clearly categorized.. Our Sage export accounts for these statement-specific details, ensuring the converted data matches your original PDF exactly. This attention to bank-specific formatting nuances is what differentiates our converter from generic OCR tools that may miss critical transaction details.

The CSV format is optimized for Sage's expected column structure and date formatting. For Sage Intacct or Sage 100 Contractor, you may need to adjust column mappings during the import wizard.
Do I need to map columns when importing into Sage?
Most Equity Bank to SAGE conversions use Sage's standard column structure, so column mapping is usually automatic. However, if you are using a customized Sage chart of accounts or specific account codes, Sage may prompt you to map transaction categories to your account structure during the import process. The date, amount, and description fields are automatically recognized.
Can I convert multiple Equity Bank statements at once to SAGE?
Yes, you can batch convert multiple Equity Bank statements by uploading them sequentially. Each statement will be processed into its own SAGE file with the original statement period clearly labeled. This is particularly useful for catching up on historical data entry or reconciling multiple months of transactions. The converted files can then be imported into your accounting software in chronological order.
