BMO, based in Toronto, Canada, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download a CSV file — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The CSV export is the universal version of the BMO statement: one transaction per line in a plain-text file with Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance columns — the format every spreadsheet, importer and script can read without conversion.
The main use is importing into software and workflows that take a plain file. Statements from Canada banks print dates as a written month or day/month/year — "Apr 3, 2026" and 03/04/2026 both appear and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) — the converter's locale-aware reader handles that layout, and then the reconciliation check proves the result: the extracted transactions must add up to the balances printed on the statement itself, or the conversion is flagged.
Every BMO conversion is audited by the document it came from. The extracted transactions are totalled against the printed opening and closing balances and checked row by row against the running balance column where one is printed. A conversion only reports as reconciled when both tests agree to the cent — and when they do, the figures have been proven against the bank's own document, not merely read from it.
Two habits make BMO statements easier to work with. First, convert the issued PDF rather than a portal screen print — print views paginate differently and can drop the balance lines the check needs. Second, glance at the statement's own subtotals before converting: section totals for deposits, withdrawals and fees are free checkpoints that tell you where a flagged difference is likely to live.
In Canada, bookkeepers commonly work in QuickBooks, Wave, Xero and Sage; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the QuickBooks export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.
A workable rhythm: download the month's PDF the day the period closes, convert it, read the reconciliation verdict, then import. Months proven in order chain together — each closing balance becomes the next month's opening — so a difference is always owned by exactly one month.
A CSV carries no formatting to hide behind, which is its virtue: what you see in a text editor is exactly what an importer will read. If a figure looks wrong in the file, it was flagged in the check — compare that row with the PDF before importing.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: where the portal shows a 'final' or 'corrected' version of a statement, convert that one — reissued statements supersede the original figures.
Get the PDF from BMO's statements area, upload it here, and download the converted a CSV file. The converter reads the transactions, standardizes the columns and verifies the totals against the statement before the file is ready.
Expect a written month or day/month/year — "Apr 3, 2026" and 03/04/2026 both appear dates and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) on a BMO statement. The reader is locale-aware, so those conventions are handled rather than misread, and the output columns come out in the standard layout regardless.
Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.
No. There is no sign-up: upload the PDF, check the reconciliation result, download the file. Uploaded files and exports are deleted automatically within 15 minutes.
The statement PDF. It is the issued document and it carries the opening and closing balances the reconciliation check verifies against; a portal CSV has the transactions but nothing to prove them against.
No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in $ exactly as BMO printed them.
Yes — convert each account's statements separately so each one reconciles against its own balances, then combine the exports in your software if you need a single view.
Scan the statement as flat and straight as you can and upload the scan. OCR reads it, and the reconciliation check verifies the read against the printed balances; rows it cannot verify are flagged for a manual look.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
