PNB statement password

PNB doesn’t publish its statement password, so we tested it on a real statement. Two numbers work, and you already have both.

Short answer

A statement PNB emails you opens with either of these. We tried both on a real one:

Our test on a real statement

Which password is yours?

Either number opens the statement. Use whichever you have to hand; the boxes below show each one.

Punjab National Bank doesn’t publish its statement password, as far as we could find on its website and support accounts. These rules come from our own test: we opened a real statement PNB emailed, in October 2026.

The password, piece by piece

Each box is one character, as on a bank form. Open “Work out yours” under a password to type your own details: the boxes fill in with your password, right here in the page.

How we know

We opened a real Punjab National Bank statement that the bank emailed, with the account number, and with the customer ID. Either one works.

We tested statements the bank emailed. A statement you download from net banking or the app may use a different password; if yours won’t open, ask PNB, and please tell us so we can add it.

Open it and convert it, right here

Drop the locked PDF in the box. When it asks, type the password. The statement opens inside this browser tab and comes out as Excel or CSV (or, with a free account, as a file for Tally), with every row checked against the statement’s own balances.

The PDF and the password stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and you can check that yourself in your browser’s Network tab.

Not tested on a PNB statement yet

We haven’t had a real Punjab National Bank statement to test with. The converter checks every statement the same way: if the rows don’t add up to the closing balance, it tells you before you download anything.

Still won’t open?

Go down this list before you call the bank. Most locked-out moments are one of these.

  1. Try the other number. If your account number doesn’t open it, try your customer ID, and the other way round.
  2. Type it, don’t paste it. A pasted password can carry a space at the start or end, and PDF readers count it.
  3. Emailed, or downloaded? What we show opened statements PNB emailed. If you downloaded yours from net banking or the app, it may use a different password.
  4. Download it again. A statement that didn’t finish downloading, or was forwarded and re-saved, can refuse every password. Get a fresh copy from the bank.
  5. Ask Punjab National Bank. Banks change these rules. We checked PNB’s on 7 October 2026; if what we show no longer works, the bank can tell you, and we’d like to hear too so we can fix this page.

Questions

Account number or customer ID: which one?

Either. PNB doesn’t publish the rule, so we tested a real statement PNB emailed: it opened with the account number and with the customer ID.

Does PNB publish this password?

Not that we could find. PNB says statements sent on WhatsApp arrive as password-protected PDFs, without saying what the password is. What we show here comes from our own test.

Should I type the zeros at the start of my account number?

Type the number exactly as it is printed on your passbook or statement, with every digit.
