Why Japan Post Bank PDF Statements Won't Copy to Excel

Japan Post Bank keeps deposits, withdrawals, the current balance, and two detail fields in separate columns (as its CSV layout shows), so copying a PDF or passbook scan into Excel shifts amounts between columns and splits the detail text.

Japan Post Bank PDF to Excel: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about bank statement PDF conversion

Why does copy-paste from Japan Post Bank PDF mess up my Excel spreadsheet?
Japan Post Bank keeps deposits, withdrawals, the current balance, and two detail fields in separate columns (as its CSV layout shows), so copying a PDF or passbook scan into Excel shifts amounts between columns and splits the detail text.
Can I download CSV directly from Japan Post Bank instead?
Yes. In Yucho Direct, go to 「入出金明細照会」 > 「表示条件を変更」 > 「データダウンロード(CSV形式)」 to save a CSV. Ordinary accounts only show about 2 months online, so convert older passbook copies or transaction histories mailed from a counter here, then review the rows before importing them.
Can I import the extracted rows into QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. Export reviewed transaction rows as Excel, CSV, structured JSON, QuickBooks-friendly CSV, or Xero-friendly CSV. Check fields against the source statement and use saved mappings to review duplicate, overlapping, or missing periods before importing recurring batches.
Does this work with scanned or photographed bank statements?
Yes. Our OCR reads both digital PDFs and scanned images. Upload a clear scan or phone photo (PDF, JPG, PNG), then review the extracted transactions before exporting.
Is it safe to upload my bank statement? What happens to my data?
Uploads use HTTPS and remain available only through your authenticated private workspace so you can review and export them. Privacy, retention, and deletion details are linked in the footer.
