Bank statement to CSV
Turn a bank statement into clean, reviewable transactions. Every amount is checked against the running balance, ready for the books in minutes.
Three steps from statement to books
Add your statement
Download a PDF, CSV or Excel statement from your online banking and drop it in. Password-protected PDFs work too.
We read the table
LedgerLift finds the date, description, money in/out and balance columns, then checks every amount against the running balance.
Review and send
Fix any categories, check rows marked ⚠, then export a CSV or draft an email to your accountant in one click.
Your statement never leaves your device
Everything happens inside this browser tab. There is no server to upload to.
Processed locally
Your file is read by your browser using open-source readers (Mozilla pdf.js and SheetJS) bundled with this page. It is never uploaded.
Nothing is stored
Transactions live only in this tab’s memory. Refresh or close the page and they’re gone. No cookies, accounts or saved settings.
Passwords stay private
A PDF password is used once to open the file on your device. It is never saved or sent anywhere.
You send the email
“Draft email” opens a draft in your own mail app. LedgerLift never sends anything on your behalf.
Help
Which banks are supported?+
Any bank whose statement is a digital PDF (you can select the text) with a transactions table: a date column plus money in/out or amount, and ideally a balance column. CSV and Excel exports from online banking work with most banks.
Why is a row marked ⚠?+
For each row, LedgerLift checks that the amount explains the change in the running balance. ✓ 99% means it matches exactly. ⚠ means it couldn’t be confirmed (for example there is no balance column, or the row has no date), so compare that row with your statement.
It says my PDF has no selectable text+
The PDF is a scanned image, so there is no text to read. Download the statement again from your bank’s website or app, where it’s usually a digital PDF, or choose CSV/Excel.
My PDF asks for a password+
Many banks protect statements with a password, often built from your date of birth, customer ID or part of your account number. Your bank’s statement email usually explains the format. Enter it when prompted.
How do I send this to my accountant?+
Click Draft email, add their address, edit the message, then click Download CSV and Open in email app. Attach the CSV before sending, because email links can’t attach files automatically.
Can I change categories?+
Yes. Click a row’s category and choose another. Exports and email drafts use your changes.
Is my data kept anywhere?+
No. See Security. Nothing is uploaded, and refreshing the page clears everything.
