Convert a SEB statement to…

SEB statement to Excel

For reviewing, sorting and analysing the statement outside your accounting software.

SEB statement to CSV

For long-term archiving in a format that will still open in twenty years.

SEB statement to OFX

For desktop accounting and personal-finance software that imports OFX or QFX.

Statements from Sweden 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 SEB statement, then walk the running balances row by row. Passing both checks is the only route to a reconciled result; there is no partial pass and no silent correction. What cannot be proven is labelled, never smoothed over.

Before converting, spend thirty seconds on the SEB 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. 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 Sweden, bookkeepers commonly work in Fortnox and Bokio; 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.

Catching up a year of SEB books

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.

Which SEB export should you download?

Start from where the numbers go next. Into a spreadsheet for your own work: Excel. Into accounting software: that tool's format — QuickBooks or Xero where offered — because its columns are already in the order the importer wants. Into older desktop software or a personal-finance app: OFX. Into anything else, or into cold storage: CSV, the format least likely to be refused. The transactions are identical in every file; only the packaging differs.

How to download a statement PDF from SEB

  1. Sign in to SEB online banking. Statements downloaded from the bank's own portal are the document of record. Avoid email forwards and re-saved copies where you can.
  2. Go to the account, then its documents. Look for Statements, Documents, Mailbox or eStatements in the account menu; the label differs by bank and changes over time.
  3. Work month by month. Download each period as its own file. The reconciliation check proves one statement at a time, which is what makes a long catch-up provable.
  4. Save the PDF, do not screenshot it. A downloaded PDF carries the text layer the converter reads. If the portal only offers a print view, print to PDF instead of taking a picture.
  5. Convert it on this page. Add the PDF to the converter on this page and read the reconciliation verdict on the result before exporting.

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.

Questions and answers

How do I convert a SEB statement to Excel?

Download the statement PDF from SEB 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.

What date and number formats do SEB statements use?

SEB 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.

What does the reconciliation check do?

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.

Are amounts converted into another currency?

No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in kr exactly as SEB printed them.

Can I convert statements for several SEB accounts?

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.

What if SEB only offers paper statements?

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.

How far back can I get SEB statements?

That depends on the bank's portal — most keep at least a year of PDFs online, and older periods can usually be requested. However far back you go, download each period as its own PDF.

Is the converted file ready to import into my accounting software?

The QuickBooks and Xero exports are laid out in the column order those tools import. The plain CSV and Excel exports suit everything else, including spreadsheet review before import.

Are my statement files kept?

No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
