Riyad Bank corporate clients send you bilingual PDFs. Re-keying them by hand is the slowest part of month-end. Convert in bulk, map once, reconcile faster.
Convert your Riyad Bank statementsRiyad Bank PDFs are professionally laid out: posting date, bilingual description, reference number, debit, credit, running balance. The reference-number column is the gold for accountants — it ties directly to purchase orders, supplier invoices, and trade-finance documents. The barrier is the PDF itself. Re-keying 300 rows from a quarterly corporate statement is where bookkeeping hours disappear.
Kashfbank converts a Riyad Bank PDF in under 60 seconds. Bilingual descriptions are preserved in full — Arabic and English on the same row — so chart-of-accounts mapping works in either language.
The recurring Riyad Bank labels map cleanly to standard accounts. "راتب" credits debit cash and credit payroll expense in your client's books. "RTGS" debits over SAR 500,000 are typically large-vendor payments — match them against the AP ledger by reference number. "قسط تمويل" debits reduce loan liability and post the interest portion (if any) to finance expense. "POS-MADA-" debits split into the expense account and 15% input VAT.
Once the mapping is built for one Riyad Bank client, it reuses across every subsequent month. The CSV column order is stable, so a Zoho Books or QuickBooks import template loads consistently.
Each row carries the data you need for trial-balance reconciliation and audit support. No re-keying, no manual translation.
Riyad Bank statements are professionally formatted bilingual PDFs. The layout is: Transaction Date (DD/MM/YYYY), Description in both Arabic and English, Cheque/Reference number, Debit, Credit, and a right-aligned Running Balance column. Statements may include a summary page with opening and closing balances, and average monthly balance calculations.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| POS-MADA- | Mada debit card purchase at point of sale |
| حوالة سريعة | Sarie real-time domestic transfer |
| راتب | Salary deposit via WPS |
| قسط تمويل | Financing installment debit (conventional or Islamic window) |
| RTGS | High-value real-time gross settlement transfer |
Saudi accountants using Zoho Books (dominant in KSA) or QuickBooks can import Kashf CSV exports directly; the SAR/Hijri date mapping requires the Date column to be in DD/MM/YYYY Gregorian for compatibility.
Collect client PDFs
Gather Riyad Bank PDFs for each client. A typical month-end pack is one PDF per account per month.
Bulk-upload to Kashfbank
Drop multiple PDFs into a single Kashfbank session. Each file is processed independently and labelled with its source filename in the export.
Apply the chart-of-accounts mapping
Use a saved Excel or Google Sheets template that maps "راتب" to payroll, "RTGS" to vendor payments, "قسط تمويل" to loan liability, and "POS-MADA-" to expense with VAT split.
Import to Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or SAP
The CSV column order is stable across Riyad Bank statements. A one-time import template handles every subsequent month.
Common challenges
Can Kashfbank handle a corporate Riyad Bank statement with 500+ rows?
Yes. The single-PDF limit follows your Kashfbank plan's page count, not row count. A 60-page corporate statement with 500 rows converts in a single session. Larger statements can be split by month and merged in the export.
Does the CSV retain Riyad Bank reference numbers for invoice reconciliation?
Yes. The Reference column preserves the bank's transaction reference exactly as it appears on the PDF. This is the field your AP/AR system matches against purchase orders, supplier invoices, and trade-finance documents.
How does the CSV handle Arabic-only merchant descriptions on Riyad Bank statements?
Arabic descriptions are extracted natively, not transliterated. The Description column shows both the Arabic and English text Riyad Bank issued. Zoho Books and QuickBooks both accept Unicode descriptions for chart-of-accounts mapping.
What if my Riyad Bank statement has a scanned page with low print quality?
Kashfbank uses Mistral OCR which handles moderate scan quality. For very degraded pages, the extraction-confidence score drops and those rows are flagged for manual review. The flagged rows are visible in the CSV with a separate column tag.
