How to Convert a Scanned Bank Statement to Excel
Prepare scanned bank statement pages for AI/OCR extraction, export CSV, and open the reviewed rows in Excel.
Step-by-Step Guide
Improve scan quality
Use clear upright pages, avoid shadows, include all page edges, and keep every page in the correct order.
Upload to the scanner workflow
Use Accounter to attempt extraction from readable statement pages. Scanned pages need review because OCR can misread dates or amounts.
Review rows before opening in Excel
Export CSV only after checking balances, duplicate headers, signs, and transaction descriptions.
