Wells Fargo Bank Statement Formats

Wells Fargo provides bank statements as PDF downloads through online banking, but does not offer direct Excel export for most account types. While Wells Fargo allows CSV export for checking and savings accounts, credit cards and business accounts can only be downloaded as PDF.

With Zera Books, you can convert any Wells Fargo statement—personal checking, savings, business accounts, or credit cards like Platinum, Autograph, Active Cash, and Reflect—to native Excel format in 10 seconds. Our Zera OCR technology handles all Wells Fargo PDF layouts with 99.6% accuracy, extracting transaction dates, descriptions, and amounts into properly formatted Excel columns ready for formulas and pivot tables.

Wells Fargo Account Types Supported:

  • Checking Accounts: Everyday Checking, Preferred Checking, Portfolio Checking
  • Savings Accounts: Way2Save, Platinum Savings, Premier Savings
  • Credit Cards: Platinum, Autograph, Active Cash, Reflect, Business
  • Business Accounts: Business Choice, Business Market Rate, Business Platinum
  • Online Banking PDFs: Digital statements from Wells Fargo.com
  • Mailed PDFs: Scanned paper statements from Wells Fargo mail

Why Excel conversion matters: Wells Fargo's CSV export (where available) uses text strings for dates and amounts, breaking Excel formulas and requiring manual reformatting. Zera Books exports to native Excel (.xlsx) with proper data types—dates are Excel date objects, amounts are numbers, not text—so formulas like SUM, VLOOKUP, and pivot tables work immediately.
