Convert Your Bank AlBilad Statement for Freelance Work

Bank AlBilad is fully Sharia-compliant. Your statement mixes Sarie credits, SWIFT inflows, and Murabaha installments — Kashfbank separates them so freelance income stays clean.

What freelancers face on a Bank AlBilad statement

Bank AlBilad, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Riyadh, is fully Sharia-compliant. For Saudi freelancers banking with AlBilad, the statement bundles three things on one page: domestic Sarie transfers from local clients, international SWIFT credits from overseas clients, and Murabaha installment debits if you took retail finance. Mixing them by eye is slow.

Freelance income for ZATCA disclosure is the sum of inbound transfer credits — not Murabaha drawdowns and not internal account moves. AlBilad's bilingual PDF helps, but the Arabic-primary description column still needs structured extraction before any totaling makes sense.

Reading AlBilad entries for income tracking

The AlBilad statement runs: Date (DD/MM/YYYY), Arabic-primary Description with English equivalent, Reference, Debit, Credit, Balance. Income-side rows you care about: "حوالة سريعة واردة" for inbound Sarie transfers from local Saudi clients, "حوالة دولية واردة" for inbound SWIFT from foreign clients, and "راتب" if you also hold a salaried role alongside freelance work.

On the expense side, "قسط مرابحة" is a Murabaha installment debit (a liability reduction, not a business expense), "إجارة شهرية" is a monthly Ijarah payment, and POS-MADA debits cover retail purchases at 15% VAT-inclusive value.

What to pull from the export

The CSV gives you one column per concept. Filter it and the freelance picture appears.

  • Inbound "حوالة سريعة واردة" rows — domestic freelance income
  • Inbound "حوالة دولية واردة" rows — foreign client income
  • "قسط مرابحة" rows — liability reductions, exclude from expenses
  • POS-MADA debits — VAT-inclusive purchases for input VAT credit
  • Closing balance at year-end — feeds your Zakat base

Bank AlBilad statement format

Bank AlBilad statements are bilingual PDF documents in SAR. Columns are: Date (DD/MM/YYYY), Transaction Description (Arabic-primary with English equivalent), Reference, Debit, Credit, Balance. Islamic product terminology — Murabaha, Musharaka, Ijarah — appears throughout. Statements typically include a header summary with account holder name, IBAN, and period dates.

Saudi Arabia specifics for this use case

Saudi freelancers under the Misk freelance license must register with ZATCA and report income; a converted bank statement showing all Mada and SWIFT credits is the primary proof of earnings.

How to do it — step by step

1

Export from Bank AlBilad Mobile

Generate a PDF for your ZATCA year or any audit period. AlBilad statements are bilingual and reflect Sharia-compliant product activity throughout.

2

Upload to Kashfbank

Drop the PDF in. Sarie and SWIFT credits are tagged separately; Murabaha installments are flagged in the Category column so they don't contaminate income totals.

3

Filter for freelance income

Sum "حوالة سريعة واردة" plus "حوالة دولية واردة" rows. Exclude "قسط مرابحة" and internal transfers. The result is your gross freelance income for the period.

4

Hand off to ZATCA or your accountant

Export the filtered view as CSV. Pair it with invoice records for ZATCA disclosure or for any Misk freelance license renewal documentation.

Common challenges

  • •Mixed personal and business transactions in one account with no obvious separator
  • •Multi-currency income (USD invoice paid, bank receives AED/SAR equivalent) causing amount mismatches
  • •Arabic-only PDF statements from GCC banks that resist standard OCR tools
  • •Scanned statements with low DPI or handwritten annotations that break text extraction
  • •Recurring transfers from family that resemble client payments

Frequently asked questions

Bank AlBilad is Sharia-compliant. Does that change how my freelance income is reported?

No. Sharia compliance affects the bank's products, not your income classification. Inbound Sarie and SWIFT credits are freelance income regardless. What changes is the expense side: Murabaha installments are liability reductions, not business expenses. Kashfbank tags each row so the classification is explicit.

Do foreign-currency SWIFT credits convert correctly on the AlBilad statement?

AlBilad credits foreign wires in SAR after FX conversion at the bank's rate. The original currency and amount usually appear in the description field. Kashfbank preserves both in the CSV so you can reconcile the converted SAR amount against the original USD or EUR invoice.

How does Kashfbank treat "إجارة شهرية" entries on my AlBilad statement?

Ijarah monthly payments are split-purpose: part is asset acquisition (principal), part is finance cost (profit). Kashfbank tags the row as Ijarah; for your books, use the lease schedule to split each entry between asset reduction and finance expense.

Can I use the CSV to support a Misk freelance license renewal?

Yes. The Misk freelance license process accepts bank statement evidence of freelance income. The CSV filtered to inbound transfers shows your project income trail, which pairs cleanly with invoice copies for renewal submission.
