About BOQ statements
Bank of Queensland (BOQ) is one of Australia's largest regional banks with around 1.4 million customers, headquartered in Brisbane and best known for its owner-managed branch model. BOQ Internet Banking exports PDF statements across the BOQ Day2Day Plus, Smart Saver, and BOQ Business Banking ranges, as well as for accounts under BOQ Specialist (the medical and dental professional banking arm). The statement format is functional rather than modern — Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance — with a slightly dated typography and column alignment that can challenge generic table extractors. BOQ business statements often include long descriptions with transaction codes, BPAY references, and merchant names jammed together, requiring careful field separation. The BOQ Specialist statements, used by doctors, dentists, and veterinarians, have a slightly different layout to retail BOQ accounts. Bookkeepers serving Queensland small businesses and medical practices will recognise these as the slow ones to convert manually. Our converter handles BOQ's older PDF format reliably, supports both the standard BOQ and BOQ Specialist layouts automatically, separates concatenated description fields into clean components, and produces accurate Excel, CSV, Xero, and MYOB exports every time.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I download a PDF statement from BOQ?
- Log in to BOQ Internet Banking, select the account, click "Statements", choose the period, and click "Download". PDF format is available for the past seven years.
- Does this work for BOQ Specialist accounts (medical/dental)?
- Yes. BOQ Specialist statements use a slightly different format that our parser detects and handles automatically — no separate setting required.
- My BOQ description field has BPAY codes jammed together. Are they separated?
- Yes. Our parser splits BPAY biller codes, reference numbers, and merchant names into individual columns for cleaner reconciliation.
- Can I convert BOQ business statements into MYOB format?
- Yes. Choose MYOB as the export format to get a QIF file, then import it in MYOB AccountRight via Banking > Get Statement.
- Can I convert multiple BOQ statements at once?
- Yes — batch upload is available on the Business plan. Upload up to 12 BOQ PDFs in one go (15 MB each, one bank per batch) and get a separate converted file for each statement, with a reconciliation check per file.
- Is there a file size limit for BOQ statements?
- Yes. You can upload BOQ PDF statements up to 15 MB. Almost all BOQ statements — even multi-page or scanned ones — fall comfortably within this limit.
