Bank statement conversion for recurring bookkeeping

Turn bank statement PDFs and images into transaction rows. Review dates, descriptions, amounts and balances, then export CSV or Excel for your bookkeeping.

Actual result from fictional inputs

Five transactions were extracted. An opening balance of €1,000, debits of €225 and credits of €700 give a closing balance of €1,475. The transfer has no reference; the result leaves that field empty.
