How to Convert a Monzo PDF Bank Statement to CSV or Excel
Monzo offers in-app CSV export, but it's limited to recent transactions and the format doesn't always play nicely with accounting software. Here's how to convert any Monzo PDF statement into clean CSV or Excel data — for free, in under a minute.
Why Convert Monzo PDFs When CSV Export Exists?
Monzo is a digital-only bank — everything runs through the app. You can export recent transactions as CSV via Account > Statements > Export, which is handy for quick checks. But that in-app export has real limitations:
- Limited date range — you can only export recent transaction history, not older periods
- Format inconsistencies — some accounting software struggles to import Monzo's native CSV format due to column naming or date formatting differences
- No annual statements — Monzo generates PDF annual statements, but there's no corresponding CSV export for these
- Archived transactions — transactions from closed pots or older account activity may not appear in the CSV export
PDF statements, on the other hand, are available for any period. Monzo generates monthly and annual statements as downloadable PDFs. Converting these to CSV gives you structured data from any time range.
Quick answer: Use ReconcileIQ's free PDF converter. Select Monzo, upload your PDF, and download clean CSV or Excel output. No signup, no email, no cost.
How to Convert Your Monzo Statement (4 Steps)
- Open the converter tool
Go to bankreconciler.app/tool and click the PDF to CSV converter section. - Select Monzo from the bank dropdown
This tells the parser which statement layout to expect. The tool handles Monzo personal, business, Plus, and Premium statement formats. - Upload your PDF
Drag and drop or click to browse. The tool processes the file instantly in your browser. Your statement data never leaves your computer. - Download your CSV or Excel file
Review the extracted transactions on screen, then download as CSV (for accounting software import) or Excel (for spreadsheet analysis).
Privacy note: The converter runs entirely in your browser. Your Monzo statement is never uploaded to any server. The data stays on your machine throughout the process.
What the Converter Extracts
The Monzo parser extracts these fields from your PDF statement:
- Date — transaction date in a clean, sortable format
- Description — merchant or payee name and transaction details
- Amount — correctly signed (negative for debits, positive for credits)
- Balance — running balance after each transaction
- Category — Monzo's spending category (Eating Out, Transport, Bills, etc.) where included in the statement
Monzo's clean, modern statement layout means the parser produces highly accurate results. Amounts, dates, and merchant names are extracted reliably across all Monzo account types.
How to Download Your Monzo PDF Statement
Since Monzo is entirely app-based, you'll download your statement from the Monzo app:
- Open the Monzo app on your phone
- Tap the Account tab at the bottom
- Scroll down and tap Statements
- Select the month or year you need
- Tap Download PDF
- Share or save the PDF to your computer (via email, AirDrop, Google Drive, etc.)
Monzo Business account holders follow the same steps from their business account tab. Annual statements are also available from the same Statements section.
Monzo Statement Formats Supported
The converter handles all common Monzo statement layouts:
- Monzo Personal — standard current account monthly and annual statements
- Monzo Business — business account statements with additional reference details
- Monzo Plus / Premium — premium tier statements, same core layout with additional account features reflected
- Monzo Joint Account — joint account statements following the same format as personal
Monzo keeps a consistent statement format across account types, so the parser works reliably regardless of which Monzo product you use. If a format isn't recognised, the tool falls back to a generic PDF parser that works with any bank.

- Reconcile in ReconcileIQ — upload alongside your accounting data to automatically match and reconcile
- Analyse in Excel — pivot tables, spending analysis, cash flow tracking
