Choosing the Right Output Format
BankConv converts bank statement PDFs into six different formats. Here's which one to pick based on what you need.
CSV (Comma-Separated Values)
Best for: Importing into databases, custom software, or any tool that reads tabular data.
CSV is the most universal format. Almost every spreadsheet, accounting, and data tool can open a CSV file. Choose this if you're not sure which format you need.
Excel (.xlsx)
Best for: Working in Microsoft Excel with formatted columns, formulas, and sorting.
The Excel output gives you a ready-to-use spreadsheet with properly formatted columns for date, description, debit, credit, and balance.
Google Sheets
Best for: Cloud-based access and collaboration. Opens directly in your Google Drive.
OFX (Open Financial Exchange)
Best for: QuickBooks, Quicken, Sage, Xero, and most accounting software.
OFX is a standardized financial data format. Your accounting software can import it directly — no manual mapping or reformatting needed. Learn more in our OFX format guide.
QFX (Quicken Financial Exchange)
Best for: Quicken specifically. QFX is Quicken's proprietary version of OFX.
Not Sure?
Start with CSV — it's the most flexible. You can always re-convert the same PDF to a different format later. See our format comparison guide for a detailed breakdown.
