Choose the Absa document that matches the request
| Document | Use it for | Where Absa directs you | mooola compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stamped or e-stamped statement | Transaction history when a recipient asks for a bank-issued or stamped statement. | Banking App: account → Statements → Download stamped statement. | Selected original digital transactional-account layouts are supported. |
| Ordinary or archived statement | Reviewing transactions and balances for a period. | Banking App or Online Banking statement and archive options. | Not automatically supported; the exact document layout must match a supported parser. |
| Home-loan statement | Home-loan balance and account activity. | Banking App: Home Loan account → Statements → Download stamped statement. | Not currently supported by the mooola Absa importer. |
| Credit-card statement | Credit-card purchases, payments, fees, and balances. | Banking App: credit-card account → Statements → Download statement. | General Absa credit-card statements are not currently supported. Selected Absa-managed Woolworths credit-card layouts use a separate importer. |
| Bank confirmation letter | Proof of account details, sometimes requested as proof of banking details or a bank account certificate. | Banking App Documents area or the account in Online Banking. | Not a transaction statement and cannot be imported. |

| Proof or notice of payment | Evidence relating to one specific payment. | Open the relevant payment or payment-history workflow. | Contains one payment, not an account history, and cannot be imported. |
| Emailed eStatement | A periodic password-protected statement delivered by email. | Register for eStatements through Absa and follow the cover email. | The email attachment may use a different layout and is not automatically supported. |
| Transaction CSV | Machine-readable transaction data for spreadsheets or accounting tools. | Availability depends on the account and channel; Absa’s public help does not promise CSV export for every account. | The Absa importer expects selected original PDFs, not a generic Absa CSV. |

These steps follow Absa's current Banking App help. Labels may change as the app is updated.
Download ordinary, archived, home-loan, or credit-card statements
For an ordinary statement in Online Banking, Absa directs users to select the account, open Statements, choose an archive statement and month range, then download the required file. Its newer Online Banking help also describes selecting an account, entering a date range, and choosing Download now.
For a home-loan e-stamped statement, Absa's app guide directs users to the Home Loan account, then Statements and Download stamped statement. Credit-card statements have a separate flow that begins from the credit-card account and lets the user choose the required statement and available file format.
Confirmation letters, tax certificates, and proofs of payment are different documents
Bank confirmation letter
Use this when an organisation needs proof of your account-holder and banking details rather than transaction history. Absa says it is available from the Banking App's Documents area and through the selected account in Online Banking.
Tax certificate
In the Banking App, open the tax-certificate area, select the tax year and certificate type, then download the document. Online Banking also provides a tax-certificate workflow. A tax certificate is not a replacement for a bank statement.
Proof or notice of payment
This relates to one specific payment. Use the payment or transaction-history workflow for that payment. It does not provide the account-wide transaction history required for statement analysis.
Open a password-protected Absa eStatement
Absa describes eStatements as password-protected PDF attachments delivered by email. Read the cover email for the password instructions that apply to that statement; do not guess or rely on an unofficial password formula.
Absa's eStatement page says the attachment can be opened with Adobe Reader or Striata Reader and provides installation guidance for Striata. If an email attachment will not save or open, return to the official Banking App or Online Banking statement-download workflow, or contact Absa through an official support channel.
Can you download an Absa statement as CSV?
Absa's public help pages describe statement downloads and, for some products, choosing an available file format. They do not establish that every Absa account can export transaction history as CSV. Check the options shown for the specific account in the Banking App or Online Banking.
Do not convert an Absa PDF to another format and assume the result is equivalent to a bank-issued CSV. Converted files can lose transaction structure, direction, balances, or references. The mooola Absa importer currently expects selected original digital PDFs.
Which Absa statement can mooola import?
mooola supports selected original digital Absa e-stamped transaction-history PDF layouts for conventional transactional accounts. It does not connect to Absa, request banking credentials, or upload the statement for parsing.
Use the dedicated Absa import guide to check the supported file and import steps, or try the local Absa PDF-to-CSV tool. Home-loan statements, general Absa credit-card statements, confirmation letters, tax certificates, proofs of payment, scans, and screenshots are not supported by the Absa importer.
Frequently asked questions
Does Absa issue stamped bank statements?
Yes. Absa documents a stamped-statement download in its Banking App and says stamped statements are also available through Online Banking or an Absa ATM.
How do I get proof of my Absa banking details?
Download a bank confirmation letter rather than a transaction statement. Absa says the letter is available through the Banking App's Documents area and through Online Banking.
Where do I find an Absa tax certificate?
Use the tax-certificate area in the Banking App or Online Banking, select the relevant tax year and certificate type, then download the document.
What password opens an Absa eStatement?
Use the password instructions in the cover email delivered with that eStatement. Do not rely on an unofficial password formula.
Can mooola import every Absa statement?
No. Support is layout-specific and currently covers selected original digital e-stamped transaction-history PDFs for conventional transactional accounts.
