Extract transactions from any bank statement PDF
You have a bank statement with dozens — maybe hundreds — of transactions locked inside a PDF. You need those transactions in a spreadsheet, in your accounting software, or in a format you can actually work with. StatementFix extracts every transaction and delivers them in a clean, structured file.
Why extracting transactions from PDFs is so frustrating
PDFs weren't designed for data extraction. A PDF is a visual format — it knows where to place text on a page, but it doesn't understand rows, columns, or transaction boundaries. What looks like a clean table to your eyes is chaos underneath.
Every bank uses a different layout. Transaction dates might be on the left or the right. Amounts might use parentheses for debits or a minus sign. Some banks split descriptions across multiple lines. There's no standard.
Noise drowns out the data. Account summaries, interest rate disclosures, branch addresses, marketing messages — bank statements are full of text that isn't transaction data. Separating signal from noise manually is tedious.
How does StatementFix extract transactions?
StatementFix reads the full text of your bank statement and uses intelligent parsing to identify transaction rows. It distinguishes transactions from headers, totals, disclosures, and other non-transaction content — then structures each transaction into a consistent format.
Every extracted transaction includes a normalized date, a cleaned description, the transaction amount (signed — negative for money out, positive for money in), and the running balance when available. The result is a CSV file you can use immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Can StatementFix extract transactions from scanned PDFs?
Currently, StatementFix works with digitally-generated PDFs (the kind you download from online banking). Scanned paper statements that are essentially images are not supported yet.
How accurate is the transaction extraction?
StatementFix is highly accurate for standard bank statements. It correctly identifies transaction boundaries, parses amounts, and normalizes dates in the vast majority of cases. Edge cases with unusual formatting may occasionally need minor manual adjustments.
Does it extract pending transactions or only posted ones?
StatementFix extracts whatever transactions appear in your PDF. If pending transactions are listed on the statement, they'll be included in the output.
Can I extract transactions from credit card statements too?
Yes. StatementFix works with credit card statements, bank account statements, and most financial statement PDFs that list individual transactions.
What if a transaction description spans multiple lines?
StatementFix handles multi-line descriptions by combining them into a single clean description field. No data is lost.
