How to Export an XLS Bank Statement from Alta Banka (Promet po računu)

Preduzmi reads Alta Banka statements directly from the XLS (Excel) export of the Promet po računu ("Account turnover") report — the same screen you already use to review transactions on your account. No PDF, no screenshots, no manual retyping. Producing the file takes about 30 seconds once you know where to click, and Preduzmi auto-detects the Alta format the moment you upload it.

What you'll need

• Active ALTA eBiz (web e-banking) access for your Alta Banka business account(s) at altabanka.rs
• A computer with a browser (the XLS download is a web feature)
• The date range you want to import (usually "from start of current month" or "last 3 months")

Step 1 — Log in and open your account

Sign in to ALTA eBiz. From the home screen (or the Računi / Accounts menu on the left), select the account you want to export. For complete accounting and bookkeeping, import all of your business accounts — your dinar (RSD) account and any foreign-currency (EUR, USD) accounts. Export each account separately; Preduzmi keeps every transaction's original currency.

Step 2 — Open Promet po računu, set the date range, download XLS

Open Promet po računu (Account turnover) for that account. Then, in order:

1. Set the date range in the Od dana (From) and Do dana (To) fields. Don't be shy with the range — pick a long period, even the whole year. Preduzmi handles large files and automatically skips any transactions you've already imported, so overlapping ranges are completely safe. You can optionally narrow the results by Od iznosa / Do iznosa (amount), Tip transakcije (transaction type), or Opis / Naziv primaoca (description / payee).
2. Click the red arrow (►) to apply the filter and load the matching transactions into the table.
3. Click the XLS button in the top-right corner (next to PDF). The browser downloads an .xls file immediately. The filename is a long string of digits — that's fine, you don't need to rename it.

Step 3 — Upload it to Preduzmi

You have two equally fast ways to upload the file:

• From the dashboard — drag the .xls file onto the Upload bank statement tile. The dashboard auto-detects the Alta XLS directly, no extra clicks.
• From the Transactions page — click Import → Alta (XLS) and drop the file.

Either path goes through the same parser: Preduzmi reads the Alta Promet po računu report directly, splits incoming (Uplata) from outgoing (Isplata), and matches payee names automatically.

You can re-upload the same period as many times as you want — duplicate transactions are detected by their unique bank entry id ("Vaš broj / Broj naloga") and skipped automatically.

Common questions

Why does Preduzmi accept the XLS export from Alta? Because Alta's Promet po računu Excel report keeps each value in its own column — date, amount, entry id, payee, account — so parsing is deterministic. Preduzmi reads that structure directly. PDFs and screenshots, by contrast, are visual documents where OCR errors on amounts or dates cause exactly the kind of bug you can't afford in tax reporting.

Can I import a PDF or screenshot instead? No — those lose or rearrange the fields we need. Stick to the Excel (XLS) export. If you bank elsewhere and only have CSV available, use the Import → Other banks (CSV) option on the same Transactions page: Preduzmi will help you map your columns.

What date range should I use? Whatever you haven't imported yet. Preduzmi de-duplicates by the unique entry id, so you can safely export overlapping ranges. A common pattern is to export "from the 1st of last month to today" once a month.

Why are some transactions missing after I upload? The most common cause is exporting before the table refreshed. After you set the Od dana / Do dana dates, click the red arrow (►) so the list reloads with the new range — then click XLS. If you export immediately after typing the dates, you may get the previously loaded range.

Should I import my foreign-currency accounts (EUR, USD) too? Yes. The export screen is identical, and Preduzmi keeps each transaction's original currency — so for complete accounting and bookkeeping, import every account, not just the dinar one. Export each account separately and upload them all; duplicates across files are still skipped automatically.

If the export screen doesn't look like the screenshots above, Alta has likely updated the UI — the official help page is the source of truth.
