Bank Statement PDF to CSV or Excel
Short answer: Send your bank statement PDF (or a photo of it) on WhatsApp, then ask for a CSV. You get one file with every line as date, description, money in, money out and balance, ready to open in Excel or import elsewhere.
What it looks like

|---|---|---|---|---|

Frequently asked questions
Which banks does it work with?
It reads the statement itself, PDF or photo, rather than linking to your bank. If a statement cannot be read, you are told instead of getting a wrong file.
Can I get it for Xero or Sage?
Ask for "export to Xero" or "export to Sage" and the Exports page opens with your files.
Do you need my banking password?
No. You only send the statement you already downloaded. We never ask for banking logins.
