PDF parsing for Singaporean banks

---

Monopoly is a Python library that converts Singapore bank statement PDFs to CSV using pdftotext

Supported banks:

• Citibank
• DBS
• HSBC
• OCBC
• Standard Chartered

Only credit card statements are supported (for now)

Install

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/benjamin-awd/monopoly.git

Install dependencies using apt & Homebrew

make setup

Usage

Monopoly can be run as a Python package, allowing you to extract, transform and write bank statements to a CSV file.

To see how Monopoly works, you can run this example

python3 monopoly/examples/single_statement.py

If your PDF is encrypted, you'll have to add the password to a .env file in the root directory, which is automatically read by monopoly

You can use the .env.template and then update values in the .env file

cp .env.template .env

Features

• Support for encrypted PDFs -- passwords can be passed in via a .env file, or passed directly via a bank class
• PDFs can also be unlocked with a static string, and a masking pattern like ?d?d?d for banks like HSBC that use a common password prefix (DOB), but different passwords for each card
• Cashback transactions from Citibank and OCBC are also supported, and appear as "negative" transactions
• Monopoly can be run on Google Cloud as a scheduled Cloud Run job, which opens up more sophisticated use-cases like historical analysis and personal finance visualization
