Convert a Deutsche Bank bank statement to Excel
Convert a Deutsche Bank 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. Deutsche Bank statements use this layout: A Deutsche Bank statement (Kontoauszug) is typically single-amount: booking date (Buchung) and value date (Wert), a Verwendungszweck description, then one signed amount (Betrag, debits negative) and a running balance (Saldo). Amounts use German formatting (dot thousands, comma decimals). Text-based PDFs downloaded from Deutsche Bank 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 Deutsche Bank statement
- Columns：A Deutsche Bank statement (Kontoauszug) is typically single-amount: booking date (Buchung) and value date (Wert), a Verwendungszweck description, then one signed amount (Betrag, debits negative) and a running balance (Saldo). Amounts use German formatting (dot thousands, comma decimals).
- Date format：DD.MM.YYYY
- Best source：Log in to Deutsche Bank Online Banking or the app and download the official text-based PDF from the Postfach / Kontoauszüge (statements) area — don't use screenshots or scans, since OCR struggles with German comma decimals and minus signs.
Watch-outs for Deutsche Bank statements
- Deutsche Bank 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.
