A CSV bank statement should have every transaction on its own row with consistent columns: Date, Description, Debit, Credit, and Balance. Generic converters produce CSVs with merged cells and amounts in unpredictable columns. CleanStmt converts your bank statement PDF into a proper CSV where dates stay formatted, descriptions do not split across rows, and debit/credit amounts land in stable fields. The resulting CSV opens cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, or any tool expecting standard comma-separated data.

Frequently asked questions
What columns should a CSV bank statement have?
A standard CSV bank statement has: Date (formatted consistently), Description (transaction text), Debit (money out), Credit (money in), and optionally Balance. Each transaction is one row with no merged cells.
Can I use the CSV in different accounting tools?
Yes. The standard format works with QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, Excel, Google Sheets, and custom scripts because columns stay consistent.
How are Debit and Credit columns structured?
Debits (outgoing) go in the Debit column with positive values. Credits (incoming) go in the Credit column with positive values. The other column is blank for each transaction.
Can I download a sample CSV bank statement?
Yes. Convert any bank statement with CleanStmt and the exported CSV serves as a template showing proper Date, Description, Debit, Credit structure.
