Scanned BMO statements convert too

A scan or a photo of a printed BMO statement converts the same way as a native PDF.

  • Read by our AI model, no templates
  • Handwritten notes on the page are fine
  • Same clean columns, every time

Photos work best flat, well lit and with the full page in frame.

BMO converter FAQ

Straight answers to what people ask before uploading a statement.

How do I convert a BMO statement to Excel or CSV?

Drop the PDF into the converter above and press convert. The result downloads as Excel or CSV, with date, description, amount and balance each in its own column and nothing to map by hand.

How do I download my statement from BMO?

Sign in at bmo.com, open the statements or documents section for the account, choose the period and download the PDF. BMO keeps past statements available online, so earlier months are usually a download away.

Is it safe to upload my BMO statement?

Yes. The upload is encrypted over SSL and the file stays in your account under your control. Delete it whenever you choose; the original PDF stays your record.

Is it free to try?

Yes. Create an account and your first pages convert free, with no card required. Paid plans only matter once you are converting regularly.

How long does a conversion take?

Most conversions are done in under 30 seconds. Long or scanned statements take a bit longer, and you can queue the next file in the meantime.

How accurate is the extraction?

99% field by field on native PDFs. Figures are read from the statement rather than retyped, so the closing balance ties out. On a poor scan, check totals against the original before posting.

Can I convert a scanned or printed BMO statement?

Yes. If the statement is a scan or a photo rather than a native PDF, our AI model reads it just the same. Keep the page flat and well lit for the best result.

Can I convert several months of BMO statements at once?

Yes. Upload the months together and convert them as a batch, then download everything in one pass. Each statement stays its own file.

Does it work with BMO business accounts?

Yes. BMO business statements convert the same way as personal ones, including multi-page PDFs.

Can I convert statements from prior years or closed accounts?

Yes. Any BMO statement PDF converts, however old. For a prior year or a closed account, the PDF is often the only record left, and it is enough.

What columns does the export contain?

Date, description, amount and balance, each in its own column. BMO statements list amounts deducted and added with a daily balance; the export returns one signed amount column and keeps the balance. Nothing that was not on the statement appears in the export.

Does the export import into QuickBooks or Xero?

Yes. The output is structured for import into QuickBooks, Xero and FreshBooks. Use CSV for the widest compatibility, Excel when you want to review and annotate first.

What file formats can I upload?

PDF, PNG and JPEG, up to 50MB per file. Multi-page statements are supported.

Do I need an account to convert?

Yes. Conversion runs against your account so your files and results stay yours. Creating one takes a minute, and your first pages convert free.

Does it handle statements in other currencies?

Yes. Currency symbols and number formats are preserved exactly as printed, so a CAD statement comes out the way it went in.

How is this different from copying and pasting from the PDF?

Copy and paste from a statement PDF merges columns and turns amounts into text. The converter keeps each field separate and typed, so dates sort as dates and amounts add up as numbers.

Can I convert BMO credit card statements too?

Yes. BMO card statements convert too, with purchases, payments and credits each on their own row. The card layout differs from checking, and that difference is handled for you.

Why is a pending transaction missing from the export?

Statements only list posted transactions, so the export matches what had posted when the statement was produced. Pending activity appears on the following statement.

What if my scan is poor quality?

A blurry photo or an old fax can cost a digit. The totals still come across, so check the closing balance against the original, and rescan the page if something is off.
