Converter or complete analysis workspace?

Choose Bank Statement Converter when
A converted spreadsheet is the finish line.

Conversion is the start of the work.

- Organize activity with categories, tags, merchants, banks, and folders
- Analyze spend, income, recurring activity, cashflow, and runway

- Export corrected data or continue through the API and webhooks

FAQ
Questions before switching
Is BankFlow a bank statement converter?
Yes. BankFlow converts statement files into structured transactions, but it also provides review, categorization, merchant analysis, cashflow planning, rules, and exports in the same workspace.
When is Bank Statement Converter the better choice?
It may be the simpler choice when you only need to turn an occasional PDF statement into an Excel file and do not need an ongoing analysis workspace.
Does BankFlow connect to my bank account?
No. You upload only the bank or credit card statement files you choose. BankFlow does not request online banking credentials or require a bank-data aggregator.
Can I try BankFlow before paying?
Yes. The free plan includes 50 one-time credits, where one credit covers about one document page. No payment card is required.
