Based in Lausanne, Switzerland, Banque Cantonale Vaudoise 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 download contains the complete Banque Cantonale Vaudoise statement as rows and columns of plain text: sortable in a spreadsheet, importable into accounting software, and diff-able in a way a PDF never is.
The main use is importing into software and workflows that take a plain file. Every conversion is checked against the statement itself: where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the extracted transactions must add up to them, or the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked. A statement whose layout the reader cannot parse is reported honestly — never passed off as converted.
Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the Banque Cantonale Vaudoise 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. 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.
Two habits make Banque Cantonale Vaudoise statements easier to work with. First, convert the issued PDF rather than a portal screen print — print views paginate differently and can drop the balance lines the check needs. Second, glance at the statement's own subtotals before converting: section totals for deposits, withdrawals and fees are free checkpoints that tell you where a flagged difference is likely to live.
In Switzerland, bookkeepers commonly work in bexio and Banana Accounting; 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.
A workable rhythm: download the month's PDF the day the period closes, convert it, read the reconciliation verdict, then import. Months proven in order chain together — each closing balance becomes the next month's opening — so a difference is always owned by exactly one month.
If your importer asks about delimiters and encoding, the answers are comma and UTF-8. Descriptions containing commas are quoted in the file, so a standards-compliant importer reads them as one field — if yours splits them, it is not reading the quoting, and its settings need adjusting.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: download statements as the periods close rather than in a year-end scramble; portals sometimes archive older periods behind request forms.
Save the statement as a PDF from Banque Cantonale Vaudoise 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 Switzerland, Banque Cantonale Vaudoise prints dates as the order printed on the statement itself and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself. 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. 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 Banque Cantonale Vaudoise file and a file from any other bank in Switzerland 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. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
