Based in Paris, France, BNP Paribas provides statements to its customers as PDF documents in online banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download an Excel (.xlsx) workbook — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
Excel is where most statement clean-up happens, and this export is built for it: the BNP Paribas transactions land in a typed spreadsheet — real dates, real numbers, no text-formatted amounts — with a summary block showing that the figures tie back to the statement itself.
The main use is building schedules and workings that cite the statement line by line. Statements from France banks print dates as day/month/year, often written day.month.year — 03.04.2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with points or spaces for thousands and a comma 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.
Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the BNP Paribas transactions are extracted, the converter replays them: opening balance plus each row in turn must reproduce every printed running balance and land exactly on the closing figure. A dropped row, a duplicated row or a misread digit breaks the chain and is flagged at the row where it breaks, with the expected and printed balances shown side by side.
A BNP Paribas statement's layout decides how differences behave. In a chronological layout with a running balance, a single dropped row shifts every later balance, which makes it easy to spot. A reconciliation difference is most often one of those large items — a duplicate, a drop, or a digit misread — and knowing the candidates in advance shortens the search considerably.
In France, bookkeepers commonly work in Sage and Pennylane; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the CSV export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.
File three things together for every {bank} month: the statement PDF, the converted file, and the reconciliation outcome. Anyone reviewing the work later — a partner, an auditor, a tax adviser — can re-perform the month from that trio without asking you anything.
A converted workbook is a good place to code transactions: add your own category column beside the standard ones rather than editing descriptions, so the file can always be re-performed against the statement. Keep the summary block intact when you pass the file on — it is the evidence the figures were checked.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: if the bank offers both a statement PDF and a transaction-list PDF, take the statement — it is the one carrying the balances the reconciliation check needs.
Save the statement as a PDF from BNP Paribas online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the an Excel (.xlsx) workbook it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Expect day/month/year, often written day.month.year — 03.04.2026 means 3 April 2026 dates and amounts with points or spaces for thousands and a comma for decimals (1.234,56) on a BNP Paribas 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.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a BNP Paribas file and a file from any other bank in France can be imported and reviewed the same way.
The conversion is flagged, and the rows whose running balance disagrees with the statement are marked with the expected and printed figures. Nothing is silently adjusted — you see exactly where the statement and the extraction part company.
Yes. Scans and photo-based PDFs are read with OCR and marked as OCR-extracted. The reconciliation check applies identically; on a poor scan it is the check that tells you whether the read can be trusted.
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. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
