Any digital bank statement. You immediately see a free parse preview — transaction count and the first ten rows — so you can verify accuracy before paying.

Trailing-minus debits, space thousands, Cr/Dr markers, wrapped descriptions and debit/credit columns are all handled. What you see is what you'll download.

3. Download the data

$19 for 24 hours of unlimited statements — CSV for Xero/QuickBooks/Sage imports, or Excel with numeric columns for budgets and tax.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to upload a bank statement?
The statement is parsed in memory and the result streamed back to you — nothing is written to disk, stored, or ever seen by a person. There are no accounts, so there's nothing to link the file to you.
Which banks work?
The parser handles the common statement conventions: South African formats (FNB, Standard Bank, Capitec, ABSA, Nedbank — trailing-minus, space thousands, Cr/Dr) plus standard US/EU layouts. The free preview shows exactly how your statement parsed before you pay.
What about scanned statements?
Scans (photos of paper) contain no readable text and aren't supported — request the digital PDF from your bank's app or internet banking instead.
What do I get?
CSV or Excel with four columns: date, description, signed amount (negative = money out), and running balance. CSV matches what accounting-software bank imports expect.
How many statements can I convert?
Unlimited for 24 hours per pass — batch a year of statements or a whole client backlog in one go.
