How to Convert Bank Statement PDF to CSV
CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is the most versatile output format — it works with Excel, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Xero, and virtually any accounting or data tool.
Step-by-Step
- Go to BankConv's PDF to CSV converter
- Click Upload and select your bank statement PDF
- BankConv will automatically detect your bank and extract the transaction table
- Review the preview to make sure everything looks correct
- Click Download CSV
What You'll Get
Your CSV file will contain clean, structured columns:
- Date — Transaction date (formatted consistently, regardless of how your bank displays it)
- Description — Transaction narration or memo
- Debit — Money going out
- Credit — Money coming in
- Balance — Running balance (when available in the original statement)
Some banks include additional fields like cheque numbers, reference IDs, or value dates — BankConv extracts these too.
When to Use CSV
CSV is ideal when you need to:
- Import into accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks)
- Run data analysis in Python, R, or other tools
- Upload to a database
- Share with your accountant or bookkeeper
If you'd prefer a formatted spreadsheet with column headers and styling, use Excel format instead.
