What do the 3-letter codes on a Desjardins statement mean?
Desjardins prints a 3-letter code beside each transaction and publishes the full list. These are the ones a small business sees most, with Desjardins’ own definitions:
Code
Desjardins’ definition
Money in or out
DIR

ADM

ACT

Either
An “I” in front of a code means the transaction was made at a caisse you’re not a member of (inter-caisses), so IATW is still an ATM withdrawal. Desjardins’ statement also shows the folio number, the period, the transaction date, the description and the balance after each transaction.
WORKED EXAMPLE
What does a converted Desjardins statement look like?
Atelier Boréal is a fictional Quebec studio. Its September 2026 everyday account statement opens at $1,962.40. In the Standard format, money out is a minus and the code meanings help you check each row:

Opening 1,962.40 + rows
3,046.66
The proof: money in 1,480.00 + 0.38 = 1,480.38, money out 236.18 + 100.00 + 54.99 + 4.95 = 396.12, and 1,962.40 + 1,480.38 − 396.12 = 3,046.66, the balance after the last transaction. The Standard file itself has Date, Description and Amount; the code column here is shown for reading alongside the statement.
BEFORE YOU CONVERT
What should you know before converting a Desjardins PDF?
French or English, descriptions stay as printed
Desjardins publishes its site in French and English. Convert keeps each description exactly as printed, so a line printed in French comes out in French.
Dates come out month first
Every Convert format writes MM/DD/YYYY. In a spreadsheet set to day-first dates, import the column as month-first so 09/08 reads as September 8.
The proof needs balances to check against
Convert checks the rows against the balances printed on the statement. If an account prints none, it stays at Needs a look even when every line was read correctly, so compare it with the PDF.
Transfers between your own accounts
ACT lines moving money between your own Desjardins accounts are transfers, not income or spending. Treat them that way in your books.
No connection to AccèsD
ZeraBooks never asks for your AccèsD sign-in. You save the PDF and upload it.
WITH ZERABOOKS
From AccèsD PDF to a spreadsheet you can trust.
PROVEN TO THE CENT
Every line has to reach the balance.
Convert adds the lines it read to the starting balance and compares the total with the balance on the page. A missed ATM withdrawal shows up as a difference of exactly that amount. The method is the same one used in convert a bank statement to CSV.
