Sample bank statement PDF

This is a two-page bank statement from a bank that does not exist, made for testing statement converters and parsers. Every page carries a large SPECIMEN watermark and says in its own words that it is not a real record. It has a text layer, an opening and closing balance, and a running balance that is correct on every row.

What is in the file

One month of a fictional savings account: salary, rent, bills, card payments, transfers and a refund, with debit, credit and balance columns. The table runs across a page break, which is where many converters lose or repeat a row.

Opening balance minus total debits plus total credits equals the closing balance, and each row's balance follows from the row before, so a converted spreadsheet can check itself.

The facts

Measured from the file itself by the script that made it.

What to test with it

Licence, and who is in it

Nobody. Every company, person, address, account number and figure in the file was made up by the script that drew it, and every page carries the word SPECIMEN and a line saying it is fictional; the PDF's metadata says so too. The file is dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0, so you can use it in tests, demos, courses and products without asking. Last updated 8 October 2026.

Questions

Is Specimen Bank real?

No. The bank, the branch, the account holder, the account number and every transaction are invented. The account number reads "SPECIMEN-0000-4821" and every page is watermarked SPECIMEN so the file cannot pass as a real statement.

Can I use it as proof of funds or income?

No, and nobody should accept it as one. It is a test file. Presenting it, or any edited statement, as a real record is fraud.

What is the check that the statement adds up?

Take the opening balance, subtract the total of the debit column and add the total of the credit column: the result is the closing balance on page 1. Each row's balance is the row above's balance minus its debit plus its credit.

Can I use this file in my own tests, product or course?

Yes. It is released under CC0 1.0, a public-domain dedication: copy, change, redistribute and use it commercially, with no need to ask and no need to credit filedone (a link is welcome).

Is anything in it real?

No. Every company, person, address, account number, tax number and figure was invented by the script that made the file. Every page says SPECIMEN and that it is fictional, and so does the PDF's metadata.
