Need to prepare the PDF first?

Statements often arrive one month at a time, or buried inside a larger document. Sort that out first and the extraction is cleaner. Both tools run entirely in your browser — the file is never uploaded.

How do I convert a PDF bank statement to CSV for free?+

The public converter is free to try; paid plans and credit packs apply only as your volume grows.

Which South African banks does the PDF to CSV converter support?+

The converter handles statements from all major South African banks — FNB, ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Capitec, Discovery Bank, Investec, and TymeBank — plus generic SA statements. For bank-specific instructions and optimised extraction, use the dedicated page for your bank under the bank statement to CSV converter.

Can I convert a scanned PDF bank statement to CSV?+

What format is the exported CSV?+

The export is a standard comma-separated CSV with columns for transaction date, description, debit, credit, and balance — ready to open in Excel or Google Sheets, or import into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and most bookkeeping software.

Is the PDF to CSV converter free?+

You can try the converter for free to preview extracted rows. For ongoing or higher-volume conversion, Accounter offers monthly page allowances and credit packs — see the bank statement pricing for current allowances.
