EXPORT GUIDE
How to export transactions to CSV from any bank
A CSV is a spreadsheet file of your transactions. Almost every bank and credit union can make one. Then Statement Scout finds every subscription in it, right in your browser. No bank login, no account.
Any other bank or credit union
- 1 Sign in to your bank’s website on a computer and open the account.
- 2 Look for “Download”, “Export” or “Download account activity” near your transactions.
- 3 Choose CSV. It may be called “Spreadsheet”, “Excel” or “Comma delimited”.
- 4 Pick a date range of 3 to 12 months.
- 5 Download the file.
Skip PDF, Quicken (QFX) and QuickBooks (QBO) files: Statement Scout needs the spreadsheet (CSV) file.
Last checked November 2026. Bank websites change from time to time. If a button has moved, look for “Download” or “Export” near your list of transactions.
Good to know
- Many bank apps can’t export files, so use the full website on a computer.
- Download each card and account you pay subscriptions from, then add them together.
Got your file? You’re ready.
Drop it into Statement Scout. It’s read on your device and never uploaded.
Find My SubscriptionsTroubleshooting
My bank only shows PDFs.
Check the transaction list itself, not Statements, for a Download or Export button. Most banks have one there.
I can’t find a CSV option.
It often goes by another name: “Spreadsheet”, “Comma delimited” or “Microsoft Excel format” usually download a CSV.
It says it found nothing.
Your file probably covers too little time. A subscription needs to show up at least twice to be spotted, so download 3 months or more and try again.
It says the file isn’t a statement.
Make sure you downloaded the spreadsheet (CSV) version, not a PDF statement or a Quicken/QuickBooks file. If you opened the file in Excel and saved it again, download a fresh copy from your bank.
