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 OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The OFX export packages the BNP Paribas statement for software that speaks the Open Financial Exchange format: dated, signed transactions in a structured file that older desktop bookkeeping tools import natively.
The main use is rebuilding history in software after a bank feed has lapsed. 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 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.
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.
Download all twelve periods first and convert them as one batch, then work through the reconciliation results month by month in order. Fix flagged months before importing anything: it is far easier to resolve a difference against twelve tidy statements than inside a year of mixed postings.
Import the OFX file into a copy or a test account first if your software allows it: OFX imports typically cannot be undone in bulk, and a thirty-second trial shows whether the date range and account mapping are right before the real ledger takes the file.
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.
Download the statement PDF from BNP Paribas online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the an OFX-formatted export of the statement's transactions. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
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.
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. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in € exactly as BNP Paribas printed them.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
