Rules written by hand for each bank, checked against your statement's own totals, all running on your device. Clean CSV for Excel, Sheets or your accounting software in seconds.
How it works
From bank statement PDF to CSV in three steps.
- 1
Upload your PDF
Drag your statement onto the page, or pick it from your files.
- 2

The converter reads your statement row by row and checks its totals against your statement. Every transaction is on screen before you download.
- 3
Download your CSV
Once the numbers look right, click download. The file opens straight in Excel, Sheets or your accounting software.
How it's secure
Your statement is read inside your browser tab, on your own device. It's never sent to us; we don't have a copy, and we can't get one. Close the tab and it's gone from the page entirely.
Nobody else sees it either. No AI model, no cloud service reading scanned pages, no analytics tool watching what you do. We write every bank's rules by hand, and they arrive with the page. Once it has loaded, nothing else is involved.
You don't have to take our word for any of this. Open the converter, wait for it to load, then turn off your wifi and convert a statement anyway. It works. Which means your statement was never sent anywhere to be read.
100% local
The whole conversion happens inside your browser tab, on your own device.
0 bytes
Of your statement reaches us. Nothing is sent, so we have nothing to store, leak or hand over.
No third parties
No AI model, no cloud service, no analytics. We write every bank's rules by hand.
Why BankConverter?
We built the converter we wanted and couldn't find anywhere.
Designed by a security expert
Your bank statement contains some of your most private information. We handle it with care: it never leaves your device. Co-founder Frederic, a security expert who takes privacy seriously, designed the tool.
Fast conversion
Because the file isn't sent anywhere, there's no waiting time. Most statements are converted the moment you drop them in. Scanned ones take a little longer, since we have to read the text from the image first.
Checked against your own totals
We add up every row and compare it to the totals your bank printed. If they disagree, we say so, instead of handing you a file that looks fine.
30+ banks and growing
UK, US, Indian, Australian and European statements, with more added every week. If yours isn't here yet, we'll add it within a working day, free.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser you already have, whether that's Windows, a Mac or a work laptop. No download, no setup.
