Bank reconciliation falls apart when your statement data arrives as a messy PDF. Generic converters merge cells, split transactions across rows, and scramble debit and credit columns — leaving you to clean up the spreadsheet by hand before you can match a single line item. CleanStmt converts your bank statement PDF to Excel with every transaction on its own clean row, so dates, descriptions, and amounts line up exactly where your reconciliation workflow expects them. Upload, review, and export reconciliation-ready Excel or CSV in seconds, with zero merged cells to untangle.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a bank statement PDF to Excel for reconciliation with no merged cells?
Yes. CleanStmt extracts each transaction onto its own row with stable date, debit, and credit columns, so your reconciliation spreadsheet needs no manual cleanup.
Does the export keep running balances for reconciliation?
Yes. When your statement lists a running balance, CleanStmt preserves it in a dedicated column so you can tie out opening and closing figures.
Can I reconcile statements from multiple banks?
Yes. CleanStmt normalizes layouts from different banks into the same clean column structure, so multi-account reconciliation stays consistent.
Is my financial data kept private?
Yes. Files are processed in memory and auto-deleted within one hour. There is no human review of your statements.
Do I need an account to convert a statement?
No. You can convert a bank statement to a reconciliation-ready Excel file without signing up or entering a credit card.
