beancount-hangseng 0.4.0

Parse Hang Seng eStatements to Beancount/CSV

Beancount/CSV parser for HK Bank Accounts

Few Hong Kong Banks provide structured formatted (CSVs, OFX, etc) electronic statements to users, usually only PDFs are available (unless you're a Business-tier user).

This package parses PDF eStatements from some of the HK Banks, and output results as beancount or CSV.

Currently supports:

• Hang Seng Integrated Account (Only Savings transactions are extracted)
• Hang Seng MPOWER Credit Card
• DBS COMPASS VISA Credit Card

Installation

1. Install external dependency pdftotext. This is normally packaged under poppler for most Linux distros. Windows users may try with this.

2. Install package via pip:

    pip install beancount-hangseng
   

Usage

Beancount

1. Add HangSengSavingsImporter/MPowerMasterImporter/DBSImporter to your import config (See config.py for example)
2. Run bean-extract config.py /path/to/eStatement.pdf > output.beancount

CSV

beancount-hangseng-csv -o output.csv -f {hangseng,mpower,dbs} /path/to/statement.pdf

If statements are already downloaded in one folder, you may process and verify output in one go:

cd /path/to/output_dir
beancount-hangseng-csv -t {hangseng,mpower,dbs} -v /path/to/HangSeng_*.pdf -d /tmp/

Run beancount-hangseng-csv -h for more options and debug suggestions.
