Convert a Starling Bank bank statement to Excel
Convert a Starling Bank 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. Starling Bank statements use this layout: Starling produces clean text PDFs with columns for date, counterparty/reference, transaction type (Faster Payment, Card, etc.), a single signed amount in £ (in positive, out negative), and the closing balance, with the statement period and opening/closing balances at the top.
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 Starling Bank statements
Starling Bank usually relies on one signed amount column. Flagged rows often come from a minus sign or parenthesized amount being read the wrong way.
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.
