Which bank statements work with StatementStudio?
There’s no list of supported banks here — on purpose. StatementStudio reads a statement by its structure, not by whose logo is on it. A digital PDF with selectable text and a transaction table converts the same way whether it’s from a global bank or a local building society.
Three things that decide it — none of them the bank’s name.
It’s a digital PDF
Downloaded from your online banking or received as a PDF file — not a photo or a scan of a paper statement.
You can select the text
Open it and try to highlight a line with your cursor. If the text selects, it’s digital and should convert.
It’s a bank-account statement
A current or savings account with a transaction list and, ideally, opening and closing balances so the balance check can run.
The fastest way to know for certain is to try it — the demo shows the whole flow on a sample, and a real conversion needs no account.
Told up front, never guessed at.
If a statement can’t be read cleanly, you’re told straight away rather than handed a bad conversion.
- Scanned or photographed statements
- Image-only PDFs and photos of paper statements aren’t read yet — there’s no selectable text to work from.
- Password-protected PDFs
- Remove the password in your PDF viewer first, then convert the unlocked file.
- Credit-card statements
- Card statements use different sign conventions and aren’t supported yet, so they’re refused rather than converted with the wrong signs.
- Digital PDF, no balances printed
- It still converts — you just won’t get the closing-balance check. Every row is still shown beside its source page. See how the balance check works.
Which statements work
Do you have a list of supported banks?
No — and that’s deliberate. StatementStudio reads a statement by its structure (a digital PDF with selectable text and a transaction table), not from a pre-built list of banks. What matters is the shape of the file, not whose logo is on it.
How do I tell if my statement will work?
Open the PDF and try to select a line of text with your cursor. If the text highlights, it’s a digital PDF and should convert. If nothing selects, it’s a scan or photo — which isn’t supported yet.
What isn’t supported?
Scanned or photographed statements, image-only PDFs, password-protected files, and credit-card statements. If you upload one, you’re told straight away rather than handed a bad guess.
My bank isn’t a big one — will it still work?
Bank size doesn’t matter. A small building society’s digital PDF and a major bank’s digital PDF are read the same way. The test is whether the PDF is digital, not how well-known the bank is.
