A practical guide to converting any bank statement PDF to a clean, editable Excel spreadsheet in seconds — no manual data entry required.
Your bank sends you a PDF. Your accountant needs a spreadsheet. Your budget app needs a CSV. Manually copying transactions is tedious and error-prone.
This guide shows you how to convert any bank statement PDF to Excel automatically — in under a minute.
PDFs are designed for reading, not for computation. The moment you want to:
...you need a spreadsheet. Excel and CSV give you sortable, filterable, calculable data. PDFs give you a locked image of that data.
AI-powered conversion is the fastest and most accurate approach. Kashfbank uses Gemini AI to read any bank statement PDF — regardless of bank, country, or language — and extract all transactions into a structured table.
The result: a clean spreadsheet with columns for date, description, amount, and category.

If your bank issues PDF statements, Kashfbank can parse them. There's no configuration needed — the AI adapts to each bank's statement format automatically.
Explicitly tested with: Al Rajhi, SNB, Alinma, Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB, HSBC, Barclays, Chase, Bank of America, RBC, DBS, and dozens more.
Kashfbank handles Arabic, English, and mixed-language statements natively. Al Rajhi and other MENA banks often have both Arabic and English text on the same statement — the AI reads both accurately.
Is my data private? Yes. PDFs are processed on secure servers and deleted after extraction. Kashfbank does not retain statement content.
What if my PDF is password-protected? Remove the password before uploading. You can do this in Adobe Acrobat, Preview (Mac), or most PDF editors.
How accurate is the extraction? For standard bank PDFs (text-based, not scanned images), accuracy is consistently high. Scanned/image-based PDFs may have lower accuracy.
