Popular Bank Statement Format Details
Understanding the specific layout and structure of Popular Bank PDF statements helps ensure accurate conversion to QBO. Here is what our parser handles for this bank:
1
Popular Bank (Banco Popular de Puerto Rico) statements are bilingual — section headers appear in Spanish (e.g., "DÉBITOS", "CRÉDITOS") while individual transaction descriptions are in English or Spanish depending on the merchant or transaction origin
2
Statement date range is displayed as "DEL [date] AL [date]" (Spanish: "from ... to ...") — both Spanish and English date formats may appear on the same statement depending on account locale settings
3
Transaction codes use a 4-digit internal reference system (e.g., "TRNS 4521") rather than standard ACH/NACHA SEC codes — these codes are Banco Popular proprietary and do not map directly to standard payment type classifications
4
Business checking statements group transactions under "DÉBITOS" (debits) and "CRÉDITOS" (credits) sub-headers — each sub-header block must be parsed separately and mapped to debit/credit direction during conversion
5
Puerto Rico tax ID numbers (EIN or Social Security numbers for individuals) appear in business statement headers — these must be excluded from transaction data extraction and treated as account metadata only
6
Statement PDFs use non-standard font encoding for Spanish accented characters (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ) — explicit UTF-8 text extraction is required; fallback ISO-8859-1 decoding produces garbled characters in accented merchant names
7
ATM withdrawal descriptions follow the format "CAJERO [location] PR" where CAJERO is Spanish for ATM — "PR" at the end denotes Puerto Rico and should not be parsed as a state abbreviation in the standard US sense
Supported Statement Versions
- 2019-2024 personal and business statements supported
- Online statements preferred over mail statements for best OCR accuracy
- Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and Popular Bank (mainland US) use slightly different column layouts
Known Issues We Handle
- Scanned paper statements from Puerto Rico branches may have lower DPI than digital PDFs — download the digital statement from Mi Banco Online for best conversion results
- Credit card statements include a "MOVIMIENTOS PENDIENTES" (pending transactions) section that is excluded from the export by default — only posted transactions are included in the converted output
