Convert a CIBC bank statement to Excel
Convert a CIBC statement PDF to Excel or CSV in your browser. StatementSift detects date, description, amount and balance columns, then checks row-by-row balance continuity before export. CIBC statements use this layout: CIBC statements follow the debit/credit ledger format: Date, Description, Withdrawals ($), Deposits ($), and Balance ($), opening with the Opening balance and ending with the Closing balance plus total deposits and withdrawals for the period.
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.

Watch-outs for CIBC statements
CIBC separates money out and money in into debit and credit columns. If a row is flagged, first check whether the sign was assigned correctly.
Wrapped merchant descriptions can push the next line out of alignment; check long descriptions when the balance proof fails.
Opening balance, closing balance and page-break continuation rows are not ordinary transactions, so review the first and last rows on multi-page statements.
