Show HN: Statements to Sheets – Convert Bank Statement PDFs to CSV
statementstosheets.comI built a small web app that converts bank statement PDFs into clean CSV files for Excel and QuickBooks.
It started when a friend couldn’t export multi-year transaction history from his bank and every converter we tried choked on scanned pages or odd formatting. This focuses on reliability with real-world statements.
Features:
OCR for scanned statements
AI optional (privacy-first mode)
Multi-page support
Import-ready CSV output

Happy to hear any feedback on the product or positioning.
Internet rando says: "Trust me, upload your bank statements. It is totally secure." I'm not saying you are malicious, I am saying I need more than a shiny landing page before I'd give such trust.
I'm also surprised this is needed. I use a small local bank, and I can download my entire transaction history directly to CSV. I figured everyone could. Do other banks really not offer this?
Yeah this seems like something that you'd be able to do anywhere, but some banks don't support this kind of export, or they don't allow you to export beyond a certain date in the past. It started as a side project for a contractor buddy who needed 300 pages and 4 years of transaction data imported into Quickbooks, and his bank actually SENT him the pages in the mail. eyeroll. So, of course scanned documents have no export option. In addition, some banks actually restrict bulk exports, and connectors like Plaid or Finicity don't always cover historical data.
As for security, totally fair concern. I tried to cover as much as I could here: https://statementstosheets.com/security Some key points: I'm using secure authentication, https enforecment, sandboxed processing within GCP containers, automatic deletion of user data, a lifecycle policy for data that does get uploaded, and secure payment processing with Stripe.
Genuinely curious from a security standpoint — what would you want to see on a site like this before trusting it with financial docs?
I'd want to see it as a local standalone app.
