Browser-based tool to import Maybank PDF statements directly into YNAB. No server, no uploads — everything runs in your browser.
If you use YNAB manually with a Maybank account, you've probably noticed that your YNAB balance and your actual bank balance don't always match — even when you're careful. Transactions slip through, especially QR code payments.
When you pay via QR code in Malaysia, Maybank doesn't record the merchant name — just a string of random characters. A week later, you have no idea what that MYR 42.50 was for. This tool lets you import your full PDF statement, see every transaction at once, and label the mystery ones before they disappear from memory.
It also checks your existing YNAB entries and skips duplicates, so you can safely import even if you've already entered some transactions manually.
