How it works

Three clicks from PDF to YNAB

1

Upload your bank statement

PDF, JPG, or PNG. Works with any bank worldwide — Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, SoFi, Apple Card, and more.

2

Download the YNAB CSV

AI extracts every transaction and builds a file formatted exactly how YNAB expects — signed amounts split into Outflow and Inflow columns.

3

File-Based Import in YNAB

Open YNAB on web → pick your account → File-Based Import → upload the CSV → review and approve. Done in under a minute.

Why this matters

A clean CSV that YNAB accepts the first time

1

Correct column headers

Date, Payee, Memo, Outflow, Inflow — exactly what YNAB's File-Based Import expects. No manual header renaming required.

2

Proper outflow / inflow split

Expenses go to Outflow as positive numbers, deposits go to Inflow. YNAB won't invert your amounts or double-import anything.

3

Handles scanned statements

If your PDF is a scan or photo, AI OCR still reads every transaction. No retyping anything from a printed stub.

4

No duplicate imports

Review the file before importing and YNAB's duplicate detection will skip any transactions you already synced via direct import.

More than just categories

Real financial clarity from your bank statement.
