About OCBC Statements
Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) is Singapore's second-largest bank by assets with strong regional presence. Singaporean statements show amounts in Singapore Dollars (SGD) with clear transaction categorization. The bank's wealth management focus means statements include comprehensive investment account integration when applicable.
Statement Conversion Notes
OCBC statements use DD/MM/YYYY date format. GIRO payment system transactions show merchant reference numbers.
OCBC Statement Format Details
Understanding the specific layout and structure of OCBC PDF statements helps ensure accurate conversion to Sage. Here is what our parser handles for this bank:
1
OCBC (Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation) Singapore statements use DD/MM/YYYY date format and display amounts with Singapore Dollar prefix "SGD" in the header — individual transaction rows show only the numeric value without a currency prefix
2
Multi-currency accounts (OCBC Global Savings or Premier accounts) list each currency in a separate sub-section with its own opening/closing balance — extracting all sub-sections is necessary for a complete account picture
3
OCBC Business Banking statements include a "Transaction Reference" column containing an alphanumeric OCBC-internal reference — this reference is separate from the customer-entered payment reference, which appears in the description column
4
Great Eastern insurance premium transactions (OCBC subsidiary) appear with the description prefix "GREAT EASTERN" — these recurring debit entries often lack a specific policy reference in the description and may require manual annotation
5
PayNow transfers (Singapore instant payment) appear with the recipient's registered PayNow alias (mobile number or Singapore NRIC/UEN) in the description field — phone numbers are in the format +65XXXXXXXX
6
OCBC Frank account statements (targeted at youth) use a simplified digital-first layout with spending categories displayed as color-coded bands in the PDF — the transaction data rows are identical in structure to standard OCBC statements despite the different visual presentation
Supported Statement Versions
- 2019-2024 personal (360°, Frank, Premier) and business account statements supported
- OCBC Malaysia and OCBC Indonesia subsidiary statements share the same column structure but display MYR and IDR respectively
- OCBC Securities combined statements include brokerage activity and must be split from the banking section before conversion
Known Issues We Handle
- Multi-currency account sub-sections use the same table format but carry different currency codes in the header — the currency must be extracted from the sub-section header and applied to all rows within that sub-section
- OCBC Malaysia (MYR) and OCBC Indonesia (IDR) subsidiary statements may append a country suffix to transaction descriptions (e.g., "[MY]") — this suffix is informational and should not be included in the payee name field

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.
