Convert Wells Fargo Statement to CSV - Free Tool (2026)

Wells Fargo is the third-largest bank in the United States, serving tens of millions of customers with checking, savings, credit card, and business accounts. If you need to get your Wells Fargo statement data into a spreadsheet, you're going to hit a wall: Wells Fargo only lets you download statements as PDFs. There's no built-in CSV, Excel, or QBO export option. This guide walks you through every method for converting Wells Fargo PDF statements into clean, usable CSV, Excel, or QBO files.

Can You Download CSV Directly from Wells Fargo?

No. Unlike some banks that offer limited CSV or QFX exports, Wells Fargo provides only PDF downloads for account statements. When you log into wellsfargo.com and navigate to your Statements & Documents section, your only option is to download or view the statement as a PDF.

This means you're stuck with a document designed for humans to read, not for software to parse. Here's what you're missing with PDF-only access:

• No CSV export: Wells Fargo does not offer any CSV, TSV, or text-based transaction download from the statements section.
• No QBO or QFX download: There is no QuickBooks Web Connect or Quicken export available from the statements page.
• Copy-paste doesn't work: Trying to copy text from a Wells Fargo PDF statement results in garbled columns, missing data, and merged rows that are unusable in a spreadsheet.
• Multi-page headers confuse OCR: Wells Fargo statements repeat headers and footers on every page, which can cause basic OCR tools to duplicate or misalign transaction data.

To get your Wells Fargo transactions into CSV, Excel, or QBO format, you need to convert the PDF. CapyParse is built specifically for this.

Wells Fargo Statement Formats and Quirks

Before you convert, it helps to understand how Wells Fargo structures its statements. Different account types produce different PDF layouts.

Key things to know: Wells Fargo uses MM/DD/YYYY dates on checking and savings statements but often drops the year on credit card statements. Wells Fargo provides up to 7 years of downloadable PDF statements through online banking. If you have linked checking, savings, and credit card accounts, Wells Fargo may combine them into a single Combined Statement PDF. These multi-account documents are a common source of confusion when copying data manually, but CapyParse separates them automatically.

Convert Wells Fargo PDF to CSV with CapyParse (Step-by-Step)

Here's how to convert any Wells Fargo statement PDF into a clean CSV, Excel, or QBO file using CapyParse:

Wells Fargo Credit Card and Business Accounts

CapyParse handles more than just Wells Fargo checking accounts. Here's what to expect with different Wells Fargo products:

Active Cash, Autograph, and Reflect Cards

Wells Fargo Active Cash, Autograph, and Reflect credit card statements follow a different format than checking accounts. Transactions are grouped into sections: Purchases, Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, Payments, and Fees. CapyParse recognizes these sections and correctly classifies each transaction type in your export. The single amount column means you won't need to reconcile separate debit/credit fields.

Business Elite and Business Checking

Wells Fargo Business Elite statements often use separate debit and credit columns instead of a single signed amount. They may also include sub-account breakdowns and detailed check clearings. CapyParse handles both layouts and normalizes the output into a consistent format for your accounting software.

If your business checking statement includes check images or deposit detail pages, CapyParse ignores the images and extracts only the transaction data - check number, date, payee, and amount.

Import Into QuickBooks, Excel, or Google Sheets

QuickBooks

Export your Wells Fargo statement as a QBO file from CapyParse and import it directly into QuickBooks via Banking > Upload transactions. Or use the CSV export and map the columns manually. For a detailed walkthrough, see our guide on importing bank statement CSVs into QuickBooks.

Excel and Google Sheets

The CSV export opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets. All transaction fields - date, description, amount, balance - appear in separate columns, ready for sorting, filtering, pivot tables, or custom formulas. The Excel (.xlsx) export is also available if you prefer native spreadsheet formatting.
