Convert a PDF bank statement to CSV
CSV is the format almost every tool can import, but every tool wants it slightly differently. Sheetlark lets you pick the date format, the separator and whether amounts are one signed column or separate money-in and money-out columns.
Step by step
- Drop your PDF statements into the converter.
- Check the verification badge for each statement.
- Choose CSV, then pick the date format and amount layout your software expects.
- Download one merged CSV or one per statement.
Safe CSV for spreadsheets
Some transaction descriptions start with characters like “=”, “+” or “@”. Spreadsheet apps can treat those as formulas, which is a known security risk with CSV files. Sheetlark neutralises them automatically while keeping your amounts as plain numbers.
Questions
Can I use semicolons instead of commas?
Yes, choose comma, semicolon or tab. Semicolons are common where the comma is the decimal separator.
Can I merge several months into one CSV?
Yes. Drop all the statements at once and export them as a single file, sorted by date, with duplicates from overlapping statements removed.
