Why convert bank statements to Excel?

Excel is the most widely used format for financial analysis. Whether you want to review transactions, create a cash flow overview, or share data with your accountant — an Excel file is universally usable.

  • Analyse and filter transactions in a spreadsheet
  • Share data with your accountant or bookkeeper
  • Perform manual reconciliation
  • Import into software that accepts Excel files

What does the Excel file contain?

The exported Excel file contains all available transaction data from your source file: transaction date, amount, description, counterparty account (IBAN), counterparty name, currency and other available fields.

One row per transaction, one column per field — no merged cells, no interleaved subheadings. That is deliberate: the moment you want a pivot table or a VLOOKUP, a clean table is the only thing that works. Opening and closing balances are listed separately so the reconciliation stays verifiable.

What you do with it next

The conversion is rarely the goal. These are the four things accountants and bookkeeping firms actually put a bank statement in Excel for:

Reconciliation

Put bank movements next to open items. Sort by amount, match on reference, and what is left over is exactly what needs attention.

Preparing a VAT return

Filter by period and counterparty to check that receipts and payments fall in the right return period.

Handing over a period

A client or accountant asks for one quarter or one counterparty. Filtering and forwarding beats exporting again at the bank.

Checking before import

Confirm the period is right and there are no duplicate movements before loading the file into your accounting package.

Per source format

Each source format has its own quirk. If you specifically have an MT940 file you want to open in Excel, that page describes in more detail how the :61: and :86: lines are parsed.

  • MT940 — descriptions are split across several :86: lines of 65 characters; these are reassembled into one readable description per transaction.
  • CAMT.053 — carries more structured fields than MT940, so this produces the richest spreadsheet: separated counterparty name, references and transaction codes.
  • CSV — bank exports differ widely. If there is a block of account and period metadata above the column headers, it is detected and skipped.
  • PDF — works for PDFs with a text layer. If your statement is a scan, AI extraction is needed; see PDF bank statement import with AI.
