Bank statement to Excel,
with the balance checked.
Drop a PDF of your statement. We read every transaction, check that the balances add up, and hand you a spreadsheet.
We keep your statement and its spreadsheet for 7 days, then delete them automatically.
How the balance check works
A statement proves itself. It prints where the account started, every transaction, and where it ended, so the figures have to agree:
- Opening balance, plus credits, less debits, equals the closing balance. We add up every row we read and compare the result with the closing balance printed on the statement.
- Each running balance. Where a row prints a balance, it has to be the balance before it plus that row's credit or less its debit. A row that doesn't fit is marked, with the balance it should show.
The check is plain arithmetic on the figures we read, the same figures that go into your spreadsheet. No guessing: if the statement prints no balances to check against, the result says so.
Why check it
A converter that drops a row, or reads a debit as a credit, still hands you a tidy spreadsheet. The balances catch both: a missing row or a flipped amount leaves the closing balance out. When it balances and every running balance checks out, each amount in the file matches the change in the balance printed on the statement.
What it doesn't do
It turns one statement into a spreadsheet. It doesn't connect to your bank, and it doesn't match the transactions to your books or reconcile them in your accounting software; import the CSV there to do that. For invoices, the invoice tool reads every line and checks it against the total.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Convert up to 3 documents a day with no account and no card. The 3 are shared with our invoice tool, so a statement and two invoices use up the day.
What files can I use?
A PDF statement, downloaded from your online banking or scanned, or a photo of it as JPG or PNG. Up to 5 pages and 10 MB, one statement at a time. A PDF downloaded from your online banking reads best: we read its text exactly as printed.
My statement is longer than 5 pages.
The free tool reads statements of up to 5 pages. Download a shorter period from your online banking, one month for example, or split the PDF into parts of 5 pages or fewer.
What does "balance checked" mean?
We add up what we read. The opening balance, plus every credit, less every debit, has to equal the closing balance. Where the statement prints a balance on a row, we check that row too: the balance before it, plus or minus that row, has to equal it. If something doesn't add up, the result says where. It checks the statement against itself; it doesn't match the transactions to your books.
What's in the spreadsheet?
The Excel file has three sheets: Transactions (date, description, debit, credit, balance and each row's check), Balance check (the sum, line by line) and Statement (the bank, the last four digits of the account and the period). The CSV has one row per transaction, with the amounts as plain numbers such as 1234.56, ready to import.
How long do you keep my statement?
Seven days. We keep the statement and its spreadsheet for 7 days, then delete them automatically. The spreadsheet shows only the last four digits of the account number.
