Convert a BankUnited bank statement to Excel
Convert a BankUnited statement PDF to Excel or CSV right in your browser — date, description, amount and balance are detected automatically, with a row-by-row balance check, and your statement is never uploaded. BankUnited statements use this layout: BankUnited statements group activity by type — Deposits/Credits, Withdrawals/Debits, and Checks — with each line showing Date, Description, and Amount, while the account summary carries the beginning and ending balances; detail rows use a single amount column whose sign follows its section. Text-based PDFs downloaded from BankUnited online banking convert most accurately.
Drop your bank statement PDFs (multiple allowed) and StatementSift detects the date/description/amount/balance columns locally and reconciles row by row. Financial data is never uploaded or sent to any external AI. Text-based PDFs (from online banking) work best.
How we read a BankUnited statement
- Columns：BankUnited statements group activity by type — Deposits/Credits, Withdrawals/Debits, and Checks — with each line showing Date, Description, and Amount, while the account summary carries the beginning and ending balances; detail rows use a single amount column whose sign follows its section.
- Date format：MM/DD/YYYY
- Best source：Log in to BankUnited online banking and download the current month's official PDF from the Statements / Documents (eStatements) section. Choose the text-based PDF over a screenshot or scan, because OCR on scanned pages handles amounts and balances poorly.
Watch-outs for BankUnited statements
- BankUnited uses a single amount column where money out is negative and money in is positive. Watch for a transaction whose minus sign sits ambiguously — the balance check is what catches a flipped sign here.
- Multi-line descriptions (a long merchant name wrapped onto two lines) are the most common cause of a shifted row — if a row doesn't reconcile, that's the first thing to check.
- Transactions that carry over a page break, and the opening/closing balance lines, are handled separately from regular rows; verify the first and last rows of each page after a multi-page statement.
