Tips for Sampath Bank Statement Conversion

• Use the Vishwa portal, not a branch printout — Branch-printed statements may be photocopied or low-quality. Always use the digital PDF from Vishwa for the best extraction accuracy.
• Sampath FCY accounts — Sampath offers USD, EUR, GBP, and other foreign currency accounts. Multi-currency statement rows include the currency code alongside the amount.
• Sampath Visa credit card statements — Sampath credit card statements have a different PDF layout from savings/current account statements. Both formats are supported — just upload the relevant PDF.
• Large date ranges — If you need a full year of data, Sampath's 3-month limit means you will need to download 4 separate PDFs. Upload all four together using our bulk upload feature for a combined Excel output.
