Based in London, United Kingdom, Starling Bank provides statements to its customers as PDF documents in online banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download an Excel (.xlsx) workbook — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
This export rebuilds the Starling Bank statement as an Excel workbook: clean columns, consistent date format, signed amounts, and a summary of the reconciliation check at the top, so whoever opens the file can see both the data and that it was verified.
The main use is month-end review, analysis and any job that starts with 'get it into a spreadsheet'. 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.
Trust in the output comes from the statement's own arithmetic. Starling Bank prints balances that its transaction list must sum to; the converter repeats that sum independently on the extracted data. A dropped row, a duplicated row or a misread digit breaks the chain and is flagged at the row where it breaks, with the expected and printed balances shown side by side.
A Starling 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. 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 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.
File three things together for every {bank} month: the statement PDF, the converted file, and the reconciliation outcome. Anyone reviewing the work later — a partner, an auditor, a tax adviser — can re-perform the month from that trio without asking you anything.
Sort and filter the Excel export freely — but keep an untouched copy of the file as downloaded. Workings belong in copies; the downloaded workbook, with its summary block, is the version that proves what the statement said.
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.
Save the statement as a PDF from Starling Bank online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the an Excel (.xlsx) workbook it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Like most banks in United Kingdom, Starling 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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes — it is one of the strongest checks available. The converter walks the extracted amounts against the printed running balance row by row, so a single dropped or duplicated transaction is pinpointed instead of merely suspected.
Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
