Batch Bank Statement Conversion

ClearlyLedger batch converts dozens of PDF bank statements in a single upload — the only limit is your plan's monthly page allowance (for example, 500 pages on Starter).

Download every statement as separate CSV or Excel files in one ZIP, or as a single merged export with a per-file integrity report. Batch is included on every paid plan for accountants handling year-end close and bookkeeping clients. For the general workflow, start with the bank statement converter and then choose the export format that matches your bookkeeping system.

Batch Bank Statement Conversion privacy boundary

The uploaded statement is processed for conversion and is not used to train AI models. The source PDF is deleted after processing under ClearlyLedger's retention policy. A reviewer should download and inspect the Excel result before relying on it for bookkeeping, tax, lending or reconciliation work.

Batch Bank Statement Conversion questions

How many files can I batch?

Batch is limited by your plan's monthly page allowance rather than a fixed file count — for example 500 pages on Starter, 1,500 on Professional and 5,000 on Business. In practice that is dozens of statements per upload across every paid plan.

Are duplicates removed?

Yes. Duplicates are detected by date + amount + description hash across files and removed from the merged output, with a count reported in the integrity sheet.

What if one file fails balance verification?

That file is flagged in the integrity report and excluded from the merged output by default. You can override per-file.

Can I batch different banks together?

Yes. Each file is parsed with its own bank profile; the merged output uses the standardized common schema.

Are the originals retained?

No. PDFs are processed in memory and deleted the moment the batch completes.

Is batch on the Free plan?

No. Batch is a paid-plan feature available on Starter, Professional, and Business. The Free plan supports single-file conversion.

How long does a 20-file batch take?

Most batches finish in 2–5 minutes depending on page count and OCR load.

Can I export each file separately too?

Yes. The output bundle includes both per-file XLSX and a merged XLSX.
