Equity Bank in Kenya
If you bank with Equity Bank in Kenya, the PDF bank statement is the file you start from; Satr turns its transaction table into a spreadsheet.
Its headquarters are in Upper Hill. Its website domain is ke.equitybankgroup.com.
Download your bank statement from Equity Bank as a PDF
In the Equity Bank app or website, open the account you need and look for a statement or transaction history option; if it can be saved as PDF, save it. We do not describe exact menus, because they change; search the help section of Equity Bank for “bank statement” if you cannot find it.
What the PDF must contain
When the bank generates the PDF itself, the text inside is real text, not a picture. Satr reads that text layer and rebuilds the rows from it.
A scan or a photo of a paper statement has no text layer, and Satr has no OCR, so it cannot read it. Download the PDF again from online banking instead.
Password-protected PDFs open after you type the password in your browser. Neither the password nor the file goes to a server.
Kenya: numbers, dates and currency
Amounts in Kenya statements are typically shown in KES (KSh), using a dot (.) for decimals and a comma (,) to separate thousands. A typical date format is DD/MM/YYYY or DD-Mon-YYYY.
Dates with month names, such as 01-Apr-2025, are recognised in English; month names in other languages may need a manual check.
We checked sample values in these formats against the shipped parser and they were read correctly; you stay in control, because the number format can be changed in the preview.
Using the Excel file in QuickBooks, Xero, and Zoho Books
Many people in Kenya work with QuickBooks, Xero, and Zoho Books. You can map the Excel or CSV columns in the import screen of those programs; Satr has no integration with them and does not claim any.
Tested or not?
Equity Bank has not been individually tested with Satr.
The parser is generic and reads text-based PDFs. Layouts we have tested so far: 5 synthetic sample statements of fictional banks (Turkish, English, Arabic, Persian).
Satr is not affiliated with Equity Bank. Equity Bank is named only to describe the PDF you bring.
No upload: how your Equity Bank file is handled
The PDF is opened with pdf.js in your browser. Account numbers, names and transactions are not sent to a server, and you can check that in the Network tab of your browser. Apart from anonymous page-view counters (event name, language, page path, referrer kind), only if you pay are the plan and a payment reference sent.
