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 TXT. 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 TXT (Plain Text)
