Convert a Wise bank statement to Excel
Convert a Wise 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. Wise statements use this layout: Multi-currency account: Date, Description, Amount (with direction) and Balance; each currency exports separately and layouts vary by currency. Text-based PDFs downloaded from Wise 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.
How we read a Wise statement
- Columns：Multi-currency account: Date, Description, Amount (with direction) and Balance; each currency exports separately and layouts vary by currency.
- Date format：DD MMM YYYY
- Best source：Download the PDF statement per currency from your Wise account. For multi-currency, export each currency separately, then convert each one.
Watch-outs for Wise statements
- Wise uses a single amount column where money out is negative and money in is positive. Watch for a transaction whose minus sign sits ambiguously — the balance check is what catches a flipped sign here.
- 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.

Wise statements can be a bit harder than the largest US banks, so lean on the balance check. Either way, verify key figures before use — the row-by-row balance reconciliation flags suspect rows for you.
