Watch the video tutorial below or follow the step-by-step instructions.
How to Generate an ANZ Transaction Report
Step 1: Log In to ANZ Internet Banking
Start by logging in to your ANZ Internet Banking account. Once you're logged in, select the bank account for which you want to generate a transaction report. If you have multiple ANZ accounts, make sure you've selected the correct account before continuing.
Step 2: Open View Statements
From the account navigation menu, select View Statements. This section gives you access to your available account statements as well as options related to transaction reports.
Step 3: Select Download a Transaction Report
Look for the Download a Transaction Report link and click it. This option allows you to generate a PDF containing recent transactions from your selected ANZ account.
Step 4: Choose Your Transaction Period
Next, choose the period you want your transaction report to cover. Depending on the options available in ANZ Internet Banking, you can select:
Last 30 days
Last 60 days
Last 90 days
Last 120 days
Choose the period containing the transactions you need.
For example, if you're asked to provide your banking activity for approximately the previous three months, you could select the last 90 days.
Step 5: Generate Your Transaction Report
After selecting your period, click Generate Transaction Report. ANZ will generate the transaction report for the selected bank account and period. You can then save the report as a PDF file. That's it! You now have a PDF report of your recent ANZ bank account transactions.
What Is an ANZ Transaction Report?
An ANZ Transaction Report provides a PDF record of recent activity in your bank account. This is different from downloading a regular monthly bank statement. A monthly statement covers transactions included within a particular statement period. If you need to provide evidence of transactions that occurred after your latest statement was issued, those transactions may not yet appear on the statement. A transaction report can help fill this gap by providing a report of more recent account activity.
When Might You Need an ANZ Transaction Report?
There are several situations where you may need a PDF showing recent banking activity.
These can include:
Proof of recent transactions
Proof of income
Rental applications
Home loan applications
Other loan applications
Mortgage documentation
Bookkeeping
Tax preparation
BAS preparation
Business financial records
Providing records to your accountant
For example, your most recent monthly statement might be several weeks old. If a lender, landlord or accountant needs to see transactions that occurred after that statement was issued, generating a recent transaction report may provide the additional information you need.
The organization requesting your financial records will ultimately determine which documents it accepts.
ANZ Transaction Report vs Bank Statement
Although they both provide information about your bank account, an ANZ Transaction Report and an ANZ bank statement serve slightly different purposes.
ANZ Bank Statement
A regular ANZ bank statement provides an account record for a defined statement period. PDF bank statements are commonly used for:
Financial record keeping
Loan applications
Rental applications
Proof of income
Tax records
Providing records to accountants

ANZ Transaction Report
A Transaction Report is useful when you need a PDF showing more recent account activity. ANZ allows you to select a recent period such as the last 30, 60, 90 or 120 days and generate a transaction report for that period. This can be helpful when the transactions you need haven't yet appeared on your latest monthly statement.
ANZ Transaction Report PDF vs CSV Transaction Export
There's another important distinction to understand. If you simply need a document showing recent transactions, the PDF Transaction Report may be the appropriate choice. But if you need to actually process, sort or categorize individual transactions, a CSV transaction export is generally more useful. CSV files can be used for:
Bookkeeping
Sorting and filtering transactions
Expense categorisation
Income tracking
Spreadsheet analysis
Importing data into compatible accounting software
Creating Profit & Loss statements
If that's what you need, see our separate guide: How to Download ANZ Bank Transactions as a CSV File.
Using ANZ Transaction Data for Bookkeeping
If you use your ANZ account for business purposes, your transactions can provide important information about your business income and expenses.
For example, your account might contain business income such as:
Customer payments
Client payments
Uber or rideshare payouts
Delivery platform payments
Marketplace income
Other business revenue
Your expenses might include:
Fuel
Vehicle expenses
Phone and internet
Software subscriptions
Advertising
Insurance
Equipment
Professional services
Bank fees
Other operating expenses
For proper bookkeeping, these transactions need to be reviewed and categorised correctly.
Turn Your ANZ Transactions Into a Profit & Loss Statement
If you're downloading an ANZ Transaction Report for business purposes, you may ultimately need to turn those transactions into a financial statement.
A Profit & Loss statement (P&L) summarises your business income and expenses over a specific period and calculates your resulting profit or loss.
Creating a P&L manually can involve:
Collecting your bank and card transaction records.
Identifying business transactions.
Separating business and personal spending.
Identifying income.
Categorising expenses.
Calculating each expense category.
Calculating total revenue and expenses.
Determining net profit.
Preparing the final Profit & Loss statement.
For an account containing hundreds of transactions, this can take considerable time.
Accounting Samurai can simplify the process.
Instead of manually reviewing and entering every transaction into a spreadsheet, Accounting Samurai helps turn your bank and card transaction data into an organized Profit & Loss statement.
This can be particularly useful for:
Uber and rideshare drivers
Uber Eats drivers
DoorDash drivers
Amazon Flex drivers
Gig workers
Freelancers
Contractors
Sole traders
Small business owners
