Bank Statement to Excel

Pull transactions into a spreadsheet, and check every row adds up.

Unlike the rest of the site, this tool uploads your file to our server to process it, then deletes it — the work is too heavy for a browser tab.

Checking your plan…

Why the arithmetic is checked before you get the file

Pulling rows out of a statement PDF is easy to do badly. A single misread digit, or a transaction split across a page break, produces a spreadsheet that looks complete and is quietly wrong. That is the kind of error you discover at year end, in figures you have already filed.

So every row is checked against the running balance the statement itself prints. Each transaction has to move the balance by exactly its own amount, from the opening figure through to the closing one. If the ledger does not reconcile, the export is refused and you are told which row broke it — rather than being handed a file you would have had no reason to doubt.

This runs on our server rather than in your browser, and the statement is deleted once the job completes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the numbers are right?+

Because they're checked, and you can see the check. Where your statement has a running balance column, every extracted row is verified against the one before it — the previous balance plus this row's amount must equal this row's balance, to the cent. If a single row fails, we stop and refund you rather than hand over a spreadsheet with a wrong figure buried in it. The result of that check is written into the workbook itself, on a second sheet.

Does an AI read my statement?+

No. The text is read positionally off the page with a PDF text extractor. Nothing in the path can generate a number, so a figure that wasn't printed on your statement cannot appear in the spreadsheet. That's a deliberate choice: a language model reading a bank statement will occasionally produce a confident, plausible, wrong amount, and there is no way to spot it afterwards.

My statement has no balance column. What happens?+

You still get the spreadsheet, but it's marked unverified — in the app and inside the file — because there's nothing to check the amounts against. Spot-check it before relying on it.

Which banks does it work with?+

It doesn't work from a list of banks; it reads the layout. Any statement with a date, a description and amounts in columns should extract. If yours doesn't, the tool says so instead of returning half a table.

What about a scanned statement?+

Run it through our free OCR tool first. A scan has no text layer to read.
