How to download an AIB bank statement

AIB keeps its statement help in two places: one page for the AIB app and AIB Internet Banking, and a separate one for business customers in iBusiness Banking (iBB), each with its own period. The sections below follow the route in the app and online, the PDF AIB describes, the seven years and the earlier cut-off, what iBB shows, and the CSV export in Historical Transactions.

The app and Internet Banking

For the app, AIB’s page lists “Log in to the app.” and “Tap ‘Statements’.”, then “On the next screen, tap either your ‘Account statements’ or ‘Statements of fees’.” The last app line is “Tap on the Statement you want to download, then tap the download icon in the top right hand corner of the screen.” For the web it lists “Log in to AIB Internet Banking.” and “Click on Accounts, select Statements and Fees, and click on Statements.” Source: AIB help centre, viewing statements, www.aib.ie/help-centre/manage-statements-and-fees/view-my-estatements, accessed 10 October 2026.

1. 1In the AIB app, log in and tap “Statements”.
2. 2On the next screen, tap your “Account statements” or your “Statements of fees”.
3. 3Tap the statement you want to download, then the download icon in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4. 4In AIB Internet Banking, click Accounts, select “Statements and Fees” and click “Statements”.

The file AIB describes

On the file, AIB’s page on viewing statements says “Your eStatement will be presented in Adobe PDF format; to view this you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.” and, in the transcript of its video, “Your statement will download as a PDF in the location you choose.” That PDF is the file to upload to ExtractPro.

Seven years, and a date that changes the figure

The video transcript says “You can find your previous seven years of statements here.” AIB’s guide to its online statements pins the figure to a date: “With effect from 30th November 2011, all newly issued bank account eStatements on AIB Internet Banking will be available to view for up to 7 years”, whereas “Bank account eStatements issued prior to 30th November 2011 will continue to be available for a maximum of two years”. So the issue date of a statement decides which of the two figures applies to it.

Business customers in iBB

Business customers have a help page of their own. It starts “Log into iBB. Select Statement and the relevant account from the menu tree on the left hand side.” and then gives the period: “Statements will display the last 6 months or a maximum of 180 days of transactions on IBB.” For anything beyond that, the page says “If you require duplicate statements, please contact your branch.” Source: AIB Business help centre, viewing statements, www.aib.ie/business/help-centre/manage-my-accounts/how-do-i-view-my-statements, accessed 10 October 2026.

A CSV of transactions is a different download

On personal accounts AIB offers a file of transactions apart from the statement: “Select 'Historical Transactions' within the 'Accounts menu'” and “Click on the 'Export' button on the following page, and either open or save the file when prompted”. Its range is stated as “Historical Transactions can display transactions from two years ago up to the previous business day.” In iBB the export is under Account Information: “Log into iBB. Select Account Information, click on Export Transactions and select the required account from the Account dropdown list.” with the limit “NB: While there will be six months of information available to export, you can only export a maximum three months at a time.” The page does not name the format of the iBB file. When the period you need falls outside those ranges, or the statement is the document you were given, the PDF is what ExtractPro converts.

From the AIB PDF to Excel

Upload the PDF exactly as AIB gave it to you. The .xlsx that comes back holds one row per transaction, the date, description and amount in columns of their own, amounts stored as numbers, and a balance column as well when the statement shows it. If the file is protected, type its password when you upload; the file is unlocked in your browser.

Before relying on the workbook, compare its last balance with the closing balance on the final page of the statement, and count the rows against the transactions listed. The AIB page on ExtractPro:
