Get the Capitec PDF
In the Capitec app: Open the Capitec app and sign in. Choose the account. Tap the 3 dots, then tap "Statement". Select the date range you need. Tap "Share PDF Statement" to save or send the stamped PDF. In online banking: Log into Capitec Internet Banking. Choose the account and open the statements or documents area.

Upload it
Upload the Capitec PDF to the converter above. Keep the original file rather than a screenshot, and if the PDF is password-protected, type its password into the password field the converter shows.

Review the rows and balances
Capitec prints dates as YYYY/MM/DD. Check each extracted date, the multi-line descriptions, the debit and credit columns, and that each running balance still follows from the row above it.

Export CSV and open it in Excel
Export the CSV and open it in Excel through Data → From Text/CSV. Capitec’s YYYY/MM/DD dates are unambiguous, but confirm the date column imported as Date, not text.

Or try Excel’s Power Query first
Excel can read tables from a text-based PDF for free through Data → Get Data → From File → From PDF. It does not read scanned images and does not check the running balance. For a Capitec file you would still have to rebuild the debit, credit and balance columns by hand, and a scanned or photographed Capitec statement has no text for Power Query to read.
