Hello bank! France, based in Paris, France, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Convert Hello bank! France statement PDFs to Excel, CSV or an accounting format — with a reconciliation check on every conversion.
For reviewing, sorting and analysing the statement outside your accounting software.
For long-term archiving in a format that will still open in twenty years.
For any workflow that asks for a 'bank statement file' rather than a spreadsheet.
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.
The check itself is simple arithmetic, applied without exception: add the opening balance to every extracted transaction and compare the result with the closing balance printed on the Hello bank! France statement, then walk the running balances row by row. 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.
Read a Hello bank! France statement as three zones. The header zone names the account and the period — check those first, because a wrong-period PDF converts beautifully and reconciles against the wrong month. The middle zone is the transaction list itself. The closing zone carries the balances and any fees or interest summaries; it is the closing zone the reconciliation check answers to, and the first place to look when a conversion is flagged.
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.
Ask clients for the issued PDFs rather than portal screenshots or spreadsheet exports. The PDF is the only version that carries the balances the check needs, and a folder of monthly PDFs plus their conversion results is an audit trail that assembles itself.
Excel (.xlsx) keeps the statement readable and workable in a spreadsheet. CSV is the same data as bare text — maximally portable, minimally pretty. QuickBooks and Xero CSVs reorder the columns to each platform's import template. OFX is a tagged banking format for desktop tools. All five are generated from the same reconciled extraction, so choosing is about the destination, never about accuracy.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: keep the downloaded PDFs in a folder named by account and month. A tidy folder makes batch conversion and later review almost mechanical.
Download the statement PDF from Hello bank! France online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the an Excel (.xlsx) workbook. The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
Hello bank! France statements generally 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 reads the figures as printed and normalizes the output columns the same way for every bank.
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.
Yes — it is one of the strongest checks available. The converter walks the extracted amounts against the printed running balance row by row, so a single dropped or duplicated transaction is pinpointed instead of merely suspected.
Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.
Yes. Download each month as its own PDF and upload them together — batch mode converts them in one run and, in Excel, adds a combined sheet. Each statement is still reconciled separately, because balances are per statement.
Yes. Credit-card statements use a Previous Balance / New Balance layout, which the converter reads as well; purchases are positive and payments are negative, and the same totals check applies.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a Hello bank! France file and a file from any other bank in France can be imported and reviewed the same way.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
Your first conversion is free — no card, no sign-up — and every result is reconciled against the statement itself before you download it.
