How to convert a bank statement
-
Upload the statement
Drag in the PDF as downloaded from online banking. Multi-month files, scans, and phone photos are fine, and a single drop takes up to 20 files.
-
We extract and reconcile
Every row is read, then checked: debits, credits, and running balances must add up before the document is marked clean. Anything that does not is flagged with a reason.
-
Download Excel, CSV, or QBO
Dates, descriptions, and amounts land in separate, consistent columns. Open the spreadsheet directly or import the QBO file into QuickBooks.
Bank statement anatomy
A sample business checking statement, and how LedgerBox reads each part during extraction and reconciliation.
Statement of account
MAR 01 – MAR 31, 2026
Deposits and additions
Withdrawals
Daily ending balance
The statement period sets the dates
Transaction rows often print MM/DD dates without the year. LedgerBox resolves the full date from the statement period, including periods that span a year boundary.
Sections become one transaction table
Deposits and withdrawals often sit in separate sections rather than one table. LedgerBox reads every section and exports one transaction per row, with separate debit and credit columns.
Balances drive reconciliation
Ending balances are checked against the extracted rows: debits, credits, and running balances must add up, and any row LedgerBox cannot verify is flagged for review instead of guessed.
Card statements too
Card statements group transactions by category (payments, purchases, fees, interest), and the export preserves sign conventions so totals match the summary. Scanned statements convert through OCR, with any row that misses the section totals flagged for review.
Bank statement conversion FAQ
How do I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel or CSV?
Create a free LedgerBox account, upload the PDF, and download the converted file. The free trial includes enough pages to try several statements, and no credit card is required.
Does it work with my bank?
Yes. LedgerBox reads the statement itself rather than matching it against bank-specific templates, so statements from any institution convert the same way. There are also dedicated guides for 1,000+ banks and credit unions.
Does it work with scanned or photographed statements?
Yes. LedgerBox runs OCR-backed extraction, so image-based PDFs and scans convert the same way as digital statements. Reconciliation flags any row it could not read with confidence instead of guessing.
Which export formats are supported?
Excel (XLSX), CSV including QuickBooks 3-column and 4-column layouts, QBO for QuickBooks Web Connect, and JSON. Every export uses one transaction per row with separate date, description, debit, credit, and balance columns.
Is my statement data secure?
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed in isolated storage, and never used to train models. You can delete uploaded documents at any time and they are permanently removed.
