How to Convert a Fifth Third PDF Statement to CSV or Excel
Fifth Third keeps two years of statements, and if you bank with Comerica there is a date in September you should not miss.
If you bank with Comerica, read this part first
This is the most time-sensitive item on any of these bank pages, so it goes at the top.
"On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, your Comerica accounts will transition to Fifth Third Bank." Transition weekend runs Friday 4 September to Monday 7 September.
The merger closed on 1 February 2026, and Fifth Third has been clear that until the transition there are no immediate changes and customers should keep using their existing platforms. What changes on 8 September is the system your accounts live in.
Whenever accounts migrate between banking platforms, statement history is the thing most likely not to travel. It is not a certainty, but it is common enough that the safe move is obvious: download every Comerica statement you might want, before the transition weekend, and convert them so you hold the data independently of whichever system ends up owning the account.
Quick answer: Fifth Third keeps 24 months of statements. Comerica customers should pull their history before 8 September 2026 and convert it.
Twenty-four months, and a CSV button that may or may not exist
Fifth Third states that up to 24 months of account statements are accessible, and that customers can access the last 24 months of eStatements and check images at no charge. All accounts are eligible for eStatements with the exception of Fifth Third Securities brokerage accounts.
The export picture is murkier, and it has changed over time.
Today, Fifth Third's live FAQ documents only Quicken and QuickBooks connections, and names no file format at all. It is explicit on one point: it does not support Web Connect download for QuickBooks, though Direct Connect does provide statement transaction downloads.
In 2021, a Fifth Third help page described downloading account information for use with Quicken and QuickBooks, or alternatively to Microsoft Excel "by selecting the Download to CSV button", plus a .QIF export. That page is no longer live.
So Fifth Third did publish a CSV export once. Whether the button survives in current online banking, we cannot confirm, and neither can any page claiming to know. Check your own account.
One figure worth not repeating: a 2021 page put small business statement history at 6 months against 24 for personal. The 24 is corroborated by current pages; the 6 is not, and should not be presented as today's figure.

What comes out
Fifth Third publishes no sample statement or statement-reading guide — we enumerated every archived document on its own domain and found only legal statements of financial condition. So this page does not describe its column layout.
The converter returns a consistent shape regardless: one normalised sortable date column, descriptions rejoined, one correctly signed amount column, and the running balance kept separate.

Twenty-four months. Fifth Third states you can access up to 24 months of account statements, and separately that customers can access the last 24 months of eStatements and check images at no charge. Note the phrasing of their own FAQ: it asks how many calendar years are included and answers in months.
Tuesday 8 September 2026, with a transition weekend from Friday 4 September. The merger itself closed on 1 February 2026, and until the transition Fifth Third states there are no immediate changes and that you should continue using your current online and mobile banking platforms. If you hold Comerica statements you will want later, retrieve them before the changeover.
Fifth Third's current pages document only Quicken and QuickBooks connections and name no file formats. Its older help site did describe a Download to CSV button and a QIF export, but that page is no longer live and we cannot confirm the option survives in current online banking. Check your own account rather than relying on either.
No. Fifth Third states plainly that it does not support Web Connect download for QuickBooks, but that Direct Connect provides statement transaction downloads along with more advanced features such as bill payment and transfer support. Checking, savings and credit accounts are covered, plus trust and investment management accounts excluding irrevocable trusts.
Your first statement of up to 10 pages converts free on a new account. After that it runs on credits, with the cost shown before anything is processed. Files are uploaded and processed on our servers rather than in your browser, which is what allows scanned and photographed statements to work as well as native PDFs.
