About Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) statement layouts
Typical layout: Date · Description · Withdrawals · Deposits · Balance. Separate money-out and money-in columns with a running balance on every row. Rowledger verifies each row against the printed balance, so a misread amount is flagged immediately.
- Columns are Date, Transaction, Debit, Credit and Balance; balances carry a CR or DR suffix, which Rowledger reads as positive or overdrawn.
- Dates are "05 Jan" with no year, so the year comes from the statement period.
- Descriptions often spill onto a second line with the card number and location and are merged.
- Dates on Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) statements are read as day/month (DD/MM); Rowledger confirms the order from the dates themselves and defaults the export to the matching format.
- Currency: AUD. Amount columns are exported as plain numbers; the currency is recorded in the Summary sheet and OFX header.
Common products: Smart Access, Everyday Offset, Business Transaction Account.

Questions about Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) statements
Is my Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) statement uploaded?
No. Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) statements are converted by code running in your browser. Nothing is sent to Rowledger or any third party, and the conversion works with the internet disconnected.
What format should I export for QuickBooks or Xero?
For QuickBooks Online use the 3-column CSV preset or QBO; for QuickBooks Desktop use QBO; for Xero use OFX or the Xero CSV preset; for Wave use OFX. All are produced from the same conversion.
Does it handle Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) credit card statements too?
Yes. Card statements are detected from the summary block and use the card sign convention (charges out, payments in), verified against previous and new balance.
What if my Commonwealth Bank (CommBank) statement is a scan?
Drop it anyway. Rowledger runs OCR in your browser, then applies the same balance verification so OCR slips are flagged on the row. Free covers the first two pages per scan; Pro is unlimited.
