Need to download your ANZ bank statements as PDF files? ANZ Internet Banking lets you access your available monthly account statements online and save them as PDFs to your computer or device. Whether you need your statements for bookkeeping, tax preparation, proof of income, a loan application or simply your financial records, the process only takes a few steps.

In this guide, we'll show you how to download ANZ bank statements as PDF files using ANZ Internet Banking.

Watch the video tutorial below or follow the step-by-step instructions.

How to Download an ANZ Bank Statement as a PDF

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 need statements. If you have several ANZ accounts, make sure you've selected the correct account before continuing.

Step 2: Select View Statements

From the account menu, click View Statements. This will take you to the section where your available ANZ bank account statements are stored.

Step 3: Find the Statements You Need

You should now see a list of your available monthly bank statements. If you're looking for statements from a particular period, you can filter the list using the statement issue date.

For example, if you need statements covering the second quarter of the calendar year, you could enter:

From: 1 April
To: 30 June

Then click Filter. This makes it easier to find the monthly statements relevant to the period you're working with.

Step 4: Download Your ANZ Statements

Once you've found the statements you need, click the Download button next to each statement. Your statements can then be saved as PDF files on your computer or device. If you need statements covering several months, download each relevant monthly statement individually.

That's it! You now have your ANZ bank account statements as PDF files.

Why Download ANZ Bank Statements as PDF Files?

PDF bank statements provide a convenient record of the activity in your account during a particular statement period.

You may need ANZ bank statements for:

  • Bookkeeping

  • Tax preparation

  • BAS preparation

  • Proof of income

  • Rental applications

  • Home loan applications

  • Business loan applications

  • Mortgage applications

  • Financial record keeping

For sole traders, freelancers, contractors and gig workers, keeping copies of bank statements can also make it much easier to organize business income and expenses.

ANZ PDF Statements vs CSV Transactions

ANZ allows you to access banking information in different formats, and the best format depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

PDF Bank Statements

A PDF statement is generally the better choice when you need a readable financial document showing your account activity for a specific statement period.

PDF statements can be particularly useful for:

  • Proof of income

  • Rental applications

  • Loan applications

  • Mortgage applications

  • Financial record keeping

  • Providing statements to an accountant or other third party

CSV Transaction Files

CSV is generally more useful when you need to actually process or analyze individual transactions.

CSV transaction files can be used for:

  • Bookkeeping

  • Sorting transactions

  • Expense categorization

  • Income tracking

  • Spreadsheet analysis

  • Importing transactions into compatible financial software

  • Preparing Profit & Loss statements

If you need transaction data rather than monthly statements, see our separate guide: How to Download ANZ Bank Transactions as a CSV File.

Using ANZ Bank Statements for Bookkeeping

If you use your ANZ account for business activity, your bank statements can be an important source of financial information.

Your transactions may include:

Income

  • Customer payments

  • Gig platform payouts

  • Client payments

  • Marketplace deposits

  • Other business revenue

Expenses

  • Fuel

  • Vehicle expenses

  • Software subscriptions

  • Advertising

  • Phone and internet

  • Insurance

  • Equipment

  • Professional services

  • Bank fees

  • Other operating expenses

To prepare your bookkeeping records, these transactions need to be reviewed and categorized correctly.

Turn Your ANZ Bank Statements Into a Profit & Loss Statement

Downloading your statements may only be the first step if your ultimate goal is to prepare financial records.

A Profit & Loss statement, also known as a P&L or income statement, summarizes your business income and expenses over a specific period and shows whether the business generated a profit or loss.

Creating one manually can involve:

  1. Collecting your ANZ bank statements.

  2. Reviewing every transaction.

  3. Separating personal and business transactions.

  4. Identifying business income.

  5. Categorising business expenses.

  6. Calculating totals for each category.

  7. Calculating your net profit.

  8. Building the final P&L statement.

If your account contains hundreds of transactions, this can take considerable time.

Accounting Samurai can help simplify the process.

Instead of manually transferring transactions into a spreadsheet, you can use your bank and card statements to generate an organised Profit & Loss statement more efficiently.

This can be particularly useful for:

  • Uber drivers

  • Rideshare drivers

  • Uber Eats and DoorDash drivers

  • Amazon Flex drivers

  • Gig workers

  • Freelancers

  • Contractors

  • Sole traders

  • Small business owners

Can I use ANZ bank statements as proof of income?

Bank statements are commonly requested as supporting financial documents for situations such as rental applications, loans and mortgages. However, the exact documents accepted depend on the lender, landlord or organization requesting proof of income.

Self-employed people may also be asked to provide tax returns, financial statements or a Profit & Loss statement.

Can I create a Profit & Loss statement from ANZ bank statements?

Yes. You can review the transactions contained in your statements, separate business and personal activity, categorize your income and expenses, and use the resulting figures to prepare a P&L statement.

Alternatively, you can use a tool such as Accounting Samurai to reduce the amount of manual transaction processing required.
