How to export your AIB statement as a CSV

What you'll need

• Your AIB Internet Banking login (registration number + PAC)
• A laptop or desktop computer — the AIB mobile app does support exports, but desktop is faster and lets you select a longer date range in one go
• About three minutes

Step-by-step on AIB Internet Banking (desktop)

1. Go to aib.ie and click Login.
2. Enter your registration number, then the three digits of your PAC it asks for.
3. Once you're in, click the account you want to export — usually your main current account.
4. Look for Statements or Transaction History in the left-hand menu.
5. Set a date range. AIB lets you go back about two years online; for older statements you'll need to request a paper copy. For Skint, three to six months is the sweet spot — long enough to spot patterns, short enough to stay relevant.
6. Click Export or Download and choose CSV (sometimes labelled "Comma-separated values" or "Excel").
7. Save the file somewhere you'll find it — your Downloads folder is fine.

Step-by-step on the AIB mobile app

1. Open the AIB app and log in with your PAC or biometrics.
2. Tap your account.
3. Tap the three-dot menu (top right on iOS, sometimes labelled More).
4. Choose Statements.
5. Pick a statement period.
6. Tap Share or Export and choose where to send the file — your email or a notes app works well, then open it on your laptop.

The mobile app currently leans toward PDF rather than CSV. If you can't find a CSV option in the app, just do it on the desktop site — it takes a minute.

What an AIB CSV actually looks like

If you open it in a spreadsheet, you'll see columns roughly like:

• Posted Account — your IBAN
• Posted Transactions Date — date the transaction cleared
• Description — the merchant or transaction text
• Debit Amount — money out
• Credit Amount — money in
• Balance — running balance

Don't worry about cleaning it up. Tools like Skint will read it as-is.

Common problems

"There's no CSV option"

Check you're on the desktop site, not the mobile site, and that you've drilled into a specific account rather than the dashboard. The export button only appears once you're inside an account's transaction history.

"My CSV is empty"

Usually a date range issue — if you picked dates with no transactions, you get an empty file. Widen the range and try again.

"I want older statements"

Anything beyond two years usually needs a request through Internet Banking's Statement Request flow, which posts a paper copy. There's normally a small fee. For most spending analysis, you don't need anything older than 90 days.
