# Download your Discover statements

Where to find Discover card statements and how to get them into ZeraBooks as PDFs.

## Download a statement

Discover is now part of Capital One. If you still sign in at discover.com, statements are listed with your card account.

1. Sign in to your Discover account on a computer.
2. Open the card's statements.
3. Choose the month.
4. Download the statement as a PDF.
5. In ZeraBooks, click **Banks & Cards** › **Upload statement**, choose the matching account and upload the file. See [Upload a bank or card statement](https://www.zerabooks.com/help/banks-and-cards/upload-a-statement).

## How far back you can go

How far back Discover shows statements depends on the account. If a month is missing, ask Discover for it.

## PDF or CSV

Download the **PDF** statement. ZeraBooks reads the printed opening and closing balances from it and uses them to prove the month is complete. See [How ZeraBooks proves a statement](https://www.zerabooks.com/help/banks-and-cards/how-zerabooks-proves-a-statement).

Discover may also let you download transactions from the card's activity page. A CSV works in ZeraBooks too, but it usually has no opening or closing balance. After you upload one, enter both balances exactly as printed on the statement with **Fix statement details…** in Reconciliations. See [Fix a month that doesn't tie](https://www.zerabooks.com/help/reconciliations/fix-a-month-that-doesnt-tie).

Only need the transactions in a spreadsheet? Once you have the Discover PDF, convert it to Excel or CSV with the ZeraBooks [bank statement converter](/bank-statement-converter).

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** If your account has moved to Capital One, its statements are on Capital One's site. See [Download your Capital One statements](https://www.zerabooks.com/help/download-statements/capital-one).
