Metro Bank is a bank based in London, United Kingdom. Its account statements are issued as PDFs through online and mobile banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a CSV file — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The .csv download contains the complete Metro Bank 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 feeding scripts, databases and anything that reads delimited text. Statements from United Kingdom banks print dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point 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 Metro Bank statement, then walk the running balances row by row. Agreement to the cent means the extraction matches the document. Disagreement means the conversion is flagged — the result says so plainly, with the differing rows marked.
A Metro Bank statement's layout decides how differences behave. In a chronological layout with a running balance, a single dropped row shifts every later balance, which makes it easy to spot. 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 United Kingdom, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero, Sage, QuickBooks and FreeAgent; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the Xero 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.
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 Metro Bank 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 United Kingdom, Metro Bank prints dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point 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. 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 Metro Bank file and a file from any other bank in United Kingdom 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. 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.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
