Based in Bergen, Norway, Sparebanken Vest provides statements to its customers as PDF documents in online banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a CSV file — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The CSV export is the universal version of the Sparebanken Vest 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 Norway 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 Sparebanken Vest 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.
Before converting, spend thirty seconds on the Sparebanken Vest document itself: confirm the period matches the month you are closing, note the opening and closing balances, and scan for the period's largest transactions. 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 Norway, bookkeepers commonly work in Tripletex and Fiken; 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.
Keep the downloaded CSV unchanged as your archive copy and do any editing in your accounting tool after import. A pristine CSV plus the statement PDF is the pair an auditor wants: source document, and the exact data taken from it.
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.
Save the statement as a PDF from Sparebanken Vest online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the a CSV file it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Like most banks in Norway, Sparebanken Vest prints 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). Conversion normalizes dates to an unambiguous form in the output while leaving the figures themselves untouched.
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. 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 kr exactly as Sparebanken Vest 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.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
