How to Export Chase Bank Statement to Excel
Convert Chase checking, savings, and credit card statements to native Excel (.xlsx) format with proper formatting for formulas, pivot tables, and analysis. Works with all Chase account types.
Chase does not offer direct Excel export for bank statements. While Chase provides CSV export for checking accounts, credit cards and savings accounts can only be downloaded as PDF. To convert Chase bank statements to Excel format, you need to download the PDF from Chase online banking, then upload it to Zera Books for automated conversion to Excel (.xlsx).
With Zera Books, you can export any Chase statement—personal checking, business accounts, or credit cards like Sapphire, Freedom, and Ink—to native Excel format in 10 seconds. Our Zera OCR technology handles all Chase PDF layouts with 99.6% accuracy, extracting transaction dates, descriptions, and amounts into properly formatted Excel columns ready for formulas and pivot tables.
Quick Takeaways:
- Chase only offers CSV export for checking accounts (not credit cards)
- Zera Books converts all Chase PDFs to Excel (.xlsx) format with proper formatting
- Excel exports include dates as Excel dates and amounts as numbers (not text)
- Works with all Chase accounts: checking, savings, credit cards, business accounts
- Multi-account consolidation into one Excel workbook supported
With Zera Books, your Excel export includes properly typed columns—dates are Excel date objects, amounts are numbers (not text strings), and descriptions are clean. This means you can immediately use Excel formulas like SUM, VLOOKUP, pivot tables, and conditional formatting without manual reformatting. Our AI Categorization also suggests QuickBooks/Xero categories if you need to import to accounting software after Excel analysis.

Chase Excel Export Limitations
Why Chase's native export falls short for Excel users
CSV Only (Not Excel)
Chase exports to CSV (comma-separated values), not native Excel (.xlsx). CSV files lack Excel features like formulas, multiple sheets, and proper formatting.
Zera Books: Exports to native Excel (.xlsx) format with proper column types, formulas, and pivot table support.
Checking Accounts Only
Chase's CSV export works only for checking accounts. Credit cards (Sapphire, Freedom, Ink) can only be downloaded as PDF.
Zera Books: Converts all Chase account types including credit cards, savings, and business accounts to Excel.
Poor Excel Formatting
Chase CSV files use text strings for amounts and dates, not Excel number/date formats. This breaks Excel formulas and requires manual reformatting.
Zera Books: Exports with Excel date objects and number formats—formulas work immediately.
One Account at a Time
Chase requires exporting each account separately. Multi-account consolidation requires manual copying and pasting in Excel.
Zera Books: Upload multiple Chase statements and merge into one Excel workbook with sheets per account.

Common Mistake: Opening Chase CSV in Excel
Many users open Chase CSV files directly in Excel. While this appears to work, the data is imported as text strings—not Excel numbers or dates. This means:
- SUM formulas return 0 or #VALUE errors
- Pivot tables can't group by date
- Charts display incorrectly
- Manual reformatting required for every column
Solution: Use Zera Books to export directly to native Excel (.xlsx) format with proper data types from the start.
