Zürcher Kantonalbank, based in Zurich, Switzerland, delivers account statements as PDFs through its online banking portal. Upload the statement PDF below and download an Excel (.xlsx) workbook — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The Excel export turns the Zürcher Kantonalbank PDF into a workbook you can sort, filter and total: one sheet for this statement with the standard Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance columns, plus a reconciliation summary that records the opening balance, the closing balance and the check result.
The main use is month-end review, analysis and any job that starts with 'get it into a spreadsheet'. 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.
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 Zürcher Kantonalbank 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 Zürcher Kantonalbank 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 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.
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.
When several months arrive as separate sheets, resist merging them into one long list until each month has passed its own check. Merged catch-up files hide which month owns a difference; per-statement sheets keep the chain visible, and the combined sheet is there when you need the whole period at once.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: a statement that covers a partial period (account opened or closed mid-month) still converts and reconciles; its balances simply anchor a shorter chain.
Download the statement PDF from Zürcher Kantonalbank 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.
Expect the order printed on the statement itself dates and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself on a Zürcher Kantonalbank 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 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 CHF exactly as Zürcher Kantonalbank 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.
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.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
