About
A small, self-funded tool built by people who spent too many evenings copying transactions out of PDFs and into spreadsheets.
Why it exists
Bank exports are locked to a 90-day window, accounting software chokes on the formats banks do offer, and the PDF is very often the only complete record you actually have. So the work falls back to a person, a second monitor, and a lot of typing.
Real Bank Statement Converter does that job instead. It reads the transaction table out of a statement and hands it back as something you can work with — dates normalised, descriptions unwrapped, amounts as one signed number, running balance intact. No account to create, no per-bank templates to wait for, no upload queue.
It is used by bookkeepers reconciling client accounts, freelancers assembling a year of expenses, accountants onboarding a new client with a folder of PDFs, and anyone who has been asked for a spreadsheet when all they had was a statement.
What we hold to
- One job
- It reads the transaction table out of a statement and hands it back as a spreadsheet. There is no dashboard, no budgeting layer, and no second product waiting behind a sign-up wall.
- Nothing kept
- Your file is read and dropped. Nothing is written to a database or a disk, and the downloads are built in your browser from rows you can already see.
- No templates
- There is no per-bank parser to request and wait for. The model reads whatever table your statement prints, so an unusual bank is not a support ticket.
- Check the numbers
- We print the running balance next to every row so an extraction mistake is visible rather than buried. We would rather you catch it here than in a filing.
If a statement came out wrong, we want to hear about it — tell us which bank and country and we will look at it. If you want the detail on what happens to your file, that is in the privacy policy.
