Convert a Capital One bank statement to Excel
Convert a Capital One statement PDF to Excel or CSV right in your browser — date, description, amount and balance are detected automatically, with a row-by-row balance check, and your statement is never uploaded. Capital One statements use this layout: Date, Description, Payments/Debits, Deposits/Credits and Balance; credit-card statements use Trans Date, Post Date, Description and Amount. Text-based PDFs downloaded from Capital One online banking convert most accurately.
Drop your bank statement PDFs (multiple allowed) and StatementSift detects the date/description/amount/balance columns locally and reconciles row by row. Financial data is never uploaded or sent to any external AI. Text-based PDFs (from online banking) work best.

Watch-outs for Capital One statements
- Capital One splits money in and out into two separate columns (withdrawals/debits and deposits/credits). The converter merges them into one signed amount so the balance check can run; double-check that a credit didn't get the wrong sign on any flagged row.
- Multi-line descriptions (a long merchant name wrapped onto two lines) are the most common cause of a shifted row — if a row doesn't reconcile, that's the first thing to check.
- Transactions that carry over a page break, and the opening/closing balance lines, are handled separately from regular rows; verify the first and last rows of each page after a multi-page statement.
