ANB has both conventional and Islamic-window accounts. The reference-number column and bilingual descriptions make CSV import into Zoho Books, QuickBooks, and SAP fast.
Convert ANB statementsAccountants handling ANB clients work with a stable bilingual PDF: Date (DD/MM/YYYY), Description, Reference Number, Debit, Credit, Running Balance. ANB offers both conventional and Islamic-window accounts; the coding differs between the two. Conventional interest ("فائدة دائنة") is excluded from Zakat. Islamic-window profit distributions count as zakatable wealth.
ANB's prominent reference-number column is the accountant's friend. It supports three-way matching between bank, invoice, and ledger — critical for trade-finance clients and corporates with high cross-border transaction volume. The CSV preserves these references in the Description column.
Standard coding for ANB: "راتب" credits to payroll expense (for the employer) or salary income (for the employee). "حوالة دولية" entries to accounts-payable or intercompany accounts depending on the counterparty. "قسط تمويل" debits split between principal (liability) and finance cost (expense) for conventional loans; Islamic-window Murabaha installments handled per Sharia-compliant convention.
Trade-finance fees and letter-of-credit charges visible on corporate ANB statements map to cost-of-goods or bank-charges accounts. POS-MADA debits hit operating expense at the 15% VAT-inclusive value, with input VAT recoverable against the merchant invoice. Cross-border Arab remittances need clean script handling, which Kashfbank's parser provides.
Each client engagement needs the same statement cut differently. The CSV cuts in seconds.
ANB statements are bilingual PDFs with a well-organised columnar layout: Date (DD/MM/YYYY), Description (bilingual), Reference Number, Debit, Credit, Running Balance. Descriptions for cross-border Arab transfers may appear in both Arabic and transliterated English. The format is stable and parses reliably.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| حوالة سريعة | Sarie instant domestic transfer |
| حوالة دولية | Outbound SWIFT international wire |
| POS-MADA- | Mada debit card purchase |
| راتب | Salary credit (WPS) |
| قسط تمويل | Financing installment (conventional or Islamic window) |
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.

Common challenges
Can Kashfbank process ANB statements from clients with both conventional and Islamic-window accounts?
Yes. Upload both PDFs; each converts independently. The CSV preserves the row labels ("فائدة دائنة" versus profit distribution) so your coding applies the right Zakat treatment to each account.
ANB has prominent reference numbers. Does Kashfbank preserve them?
Yes. ANB's reference numbers appear in the CSV's Description column. They support three-way matching between bank, invoice, and ledger — critical for trade-finance and corporate clients.
How does Kashfbank handle ANB cross-border Arab remittances with mixed-script names?
ANB cross-border transfers may include transliterated names in Latin script within Arabic-dominant rows. Kashfbank's parser handles mixed-script fields without truncation. The full Description is preserved for invoice matching and counterparty identification.
Can I import the ANB CSV directly into SAP?
SAP accepts standard CSV imports with Date, Description, Debit, Credit, and Reference columns. Kashfbank's output maps to this layout. Larger SAP implementations may use a custom intermediate file format; the CSV is the standard intermediate that fits most workflows.
