Bank Won't Provide CSV?
If all you have is a PDF statement, treat extraction as the start of a review workflow, not the final accounting file.
Convert a bank statement PDF bank or credit-card statements. You'll create or sign in to your private account first.- Balance checked Opening balance plus transactions must tie to the statement closing balance.
- Rows reviewed Missing dates, balance gaps, and import blockers stay visible before export.

What you get back.

What can I do when the bank will not provide a CSV for old statement activity?

- Extract rows into a reviewable table with warnings.
- Export only after the rows reconcile to the statement.
