Convert any bank statement PDF into a clean, structured CSV file in seconds — no account, no email, no software to install. BankFormats reads every transaction automatically and gives you a file that opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any bookkeeping tool.
How the CSV converter works
- Upload your bank statement PDF. Drag and drop the file into the browser or browse from your device. Scanned statements and native-text PDFs are both supported.
- BankFormats extracts every transaction — date, description, amount, and running balance — using automatic table recognition tuned for bank layouts.
- Download your CSV file. It is ready for import into Excel, Xero, QuickBooks, or any tool that accepts comma-separated values.
Why CSV is the right format for bank data
CSV is the universal standard for tabular data. It is lightweight, works with every accounting package, and never locks you into a proprietary format. Copying transactions by hand from a PDF into a spreadsheet takes hours and introduces typos that break reconciliation. Exporting to CSV once gives you a machine-readable file that you can filter, sort, pivot, or feed into any automation. If you reconcile books, prepare tax returns, or track expenses, CSV is the file you want.
Who uses this converter
Bookkeepers use it to onboard new clients without retyping statements. Accountants use it to prepare VAT returns and year-end accounts. Small business owners use it to categorise expenses in Excel. Freelancers use it to import transactions into Wave, FreshBooks, or Moneybird. Anyone who has ever tried to copy a PDF table into a spreadsheet and lost an afternoon to alignment errors will recognise the problem this tool solves.
Frequently asked questions
Is my bank statement secure?
Every upload is processed on EU servers, encrypted in transit, and deleted automatically after conversion. BankFormats is GDPR-compliant and never stores or shares your financial data.
Which banks are supported?
The converter handles statements from most major banks, including ING, Rabobank, ABN AMRO, Knab, HSBC, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, Revolut, and Wise. If a bank issues a standard PDF statement, BankFormats can usually read it — including multi-page and multi-currency formats.
Can I import the CSV into Excel, QuickBooks, or Xero?
Yes. The exported file uses a clean column structure — date, description, amount, balance — that imports directly into Excel, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and most bookkeeping platforms without extra formatting. Dates and decimal separators are normalised automatically.
Is there a file size or page limit?
Free conversions cover standard monthly statements. For large annual statements, multi-year archives, or bulk processing across many accounts, upgraded plans remove the limit and add batch upload.
