What Saudi banks say about their statements
- Al Rajhi Bank →
Al Rajhi statements come from the app; convert the PDF to Excel or CSV, Arabic lines kept.
- Riyad Bank →
Riyad Mobile downloads account and card statements as PDF; convert them to Excel or CSV.
- Alinma Bank →
Alinma Internet exports account and card statements as PDF, Excel, Web Connect or Microsoft Money.
- Saudi Awwal Bank (SAB) →
SAB shows e-statements as PDFs in SAB Online, sorted by date; convert them to Excel or CSV.
Each page quotes the bank’s own website, with the link. Any other Saudi bank works too: MyFulus reads the statement itself, so there is no list of supported banks. It is not connected to, partnered with or endorsed by any bank.
What to know before you convert
- Amounts: stay in SAR exactly as printed, in the statement's own currency. Nothing is converted between currencies.
- Dates: you choose DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD before you download, so the file matches what your software expects.
- Arabic: Arabic descriptions stay exactly as printed, and the Excel file opens right to left when most of its lines are Arabic. Tested on bilingual statements and an Arabic-only CSV; a PDF printed wholly in Arabic has not been tested.
- Scans: it reads digital PDF and CSV files, so a scan or a photo of a paper statement will not work.
Other ways to convert it
Some tools fit other needs better: one that runs only in your browser, ones that read scans, and ones built for accounting firms. Compare converters side by side, with the prices and limits from each product’s own site.
How the conversion is checked
Most statements print a running balance beside each line, an opening and a closing balance, or totals for the period. Every converted line has to agree with them exactly. If they agree, you see that it was checked; if they do not, you see which lines to compare with your statement, on screen and in the Excel file. If a statement prints none of them, you are told it could not be checked. See an example.
Quick answers
What is the best bank statement converter for Saudi banks?
It depends on what you need. Free with no limits and read in your browser first: StatementEasy. If the file must not leave your device: BayanSheet. For Zoho Books, or nothing kept even when a read fails: MyFulus, which we make. If it is a scan: StatementEasy, QuickTax, StatementEdge or DocuClipper. Our comparison at myfulus.com/compare has their prices and links to their own pages.
Which Saudi banks does it work with?
Any bank that lets you download a statement as a PDF or CSV, including Al Rajhi Bank, Riyad Bank, Alinma Bank and SAB. MyFulus reads the document itself rather than a template for each bank, so there is no list of supported banks.
Do I need an account?
No. 3 statements a day of up to 10 pages each need no account and no email, in every format. The statement is read in memory and never saved, and the converted lines are deleted after 60 minutes, or as soon as you press Delete.
