Who we are

Free Bank Statement Converter is an independent tool created by a group of financial automation specialists and engineers. We built the service after years of manually transcribing bank statements for accounting clients and internal audits. Today the platform is used by small businesses, accountants, and operations teams across five continents.

Our mission is simple: remove the friction from working with bank data so professionals can focus on analysis instead of data entry. We are committed to keeping the converter free for light usage while providing paid options for organizations that need larger quotas or custom integrations.

How the converter works

  • Template-aware parsing: We maintain a library of statement templates for leading banks. Pattern recognition and OCR corrections ensure the exported rows mirror the original tables.
  • Spreadsheet-first output: The converter creates tidy header rows, standardized date formats, and normalized currency columns to make downstream formulas reliable.
  • Performance at scale: Our infrastructure runs on isolated containers with auto-scaling capacity. Large statements convert in seconds without queue delays.
  • Human feedback loop: When customers flag tricky layouts, we retrain our parsers and release improvements within hours, not weeks.

Our guiding principles

  • Transparency: Users can read detailed privacy and security commitments before uploading any document.
  • Accessibility: The web app works on modern browsers, including those used by compliance teams with strict device policies.
  • Support: Every support email is answered by a real engineer who understands the conversion pipeline.
  • Community-driven: Roadmap items are prioritized based on the most common requests from accounting professionals.
