Why Convert Bank Statements to Excel?
Excel remains the most versatile format for analyzing bank transaction data. With proper formatting, you can use formulas, create pivot tables, generate charts, and import directly into accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero.
The challenge? Bank statements come as PDFs—locked, uneditable documents that require manual data entry. A single statement with 100 transactions can take 30-60 minutes to convert by hand, with inevitable typos and errors.
Modern AI-powered converters like Zera Books solve this by automatically reading PDF statements, extracting all transactions, and producing clean Excel files in under 30 seconds—with 99.6% accuracy.
