Which PDFs work
PDF statements generated by a bank system contain selectable text. Those are the files Satr is built for.
Scanned pages and photos saved as PDF are images. Satr does not do OCR, so it will tell you there is no text.
Locked with a password? Type it into Satr when asked. The password is used on your device to unlock the file and goes nowhere else.
Reading Nigeria amounts and dates
Statements in Nigeria usually show amounts in NGN (₦) with a dot (.) as the decimal mark and a comma (,) as the thousands separator. Dates commonly look like 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.
Importing into accounting software
Accounting packages used in Nigeria, such as QuickBooks, Sage, and Zoho Books, let you import spreadsheet files. Export from Satr as XLSX or CSV and match the columns there; Satr is not connected to those programs.
