Frequently asked questions
Questions before you convert.
Clear answers about privacy, PDF handling, accuracy and exported files.
Is my bank statement uploaded?
The current converter processes statement contents in your browser. It does not intentionally upload the PDF or extracted transaction table to the application server.
Why is a consent receipt stored?
The receipt records acceptance of the current legal terms before processing. It contains a random ID, timestamp, pseudonymous browser identifier and legal fingerprints—not the PDF, filename, bank name or financial values.
Can it read scanned statements?
Yes, suitable scanned pages are processed with browser-based OCR. Scans require more time and closer review than text PDFs.
Which output should I choose?
Excel is useful when you want formatted worksheets, formulas, summaries and validation. CSV is simpler for importing transaction rows and metadata into other systems.
Does a passed reconciliation guarantee accuracy?
No. It confirms that available control totals agree within tolerance, but descriptions, dates or offsetting errors can still be wrong.
Can it open password-protected PDFs?
No. The service does not bypass document passwords. Create an authorised unlocked copy before conversion.
Does it support every bank?
No. It is a public-beta parser designed for common international layouts. Banks change templates, so even tested institutions can produce new edge cases.
Can I use the export for tax or accounting work?
You may use it as a reviewed working file, but the service provides no accounting, tax, audit, legal or financial advice. Compare it with the original statement first.
Why did the currency look wrong?
Some statements omit clear currency symbols or contain several currencies. Confirm the detected code and all monetary totals before export.
What happens after I close the page?
The working statement data is not intentionally retained by the application server. Your downloaded files remain wherever your browser saved them, and the minimal consent receipt follows its stated retention period.
