Is your Capitec statement password protected?
Statements downloaded directly from the Capitec app or Internet Banking are usually not password protected. However, if you received a PDF by email and it asks for a password, try:
If you know the password and want to remove it permanently, use our free PDF unlock tool — it runs entirely in your browser and never uploads your file.

- Submit to a bank or lender for a loan or vehicle finance application
- Attach to a rental application as proof of income

How to export Capitec transactions to CSV
Capitec's app and Internet Banking only issue statements as PDF — there is no native CSV or Excel export. To get a transaction CSV (for Excel, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or any accounting tool), you convert the Capitec PDF after downloading it.
- 1Download the PDF from the Capitec app. Use the steps above — app → Statements → date range → Download. A 12-month range works if you need a full year of transactions in one file.
- 2Upload the PDF to a converter. Drag the Capitec PDF into our bank statement to CSV converter. It reads every transaction row — date, description, amount, running balance — and produces a clean spreadsheet.
- 3Download the CSV. The CSV opens directly in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets. For QuickBooks use the QBO export option; for Xero or Sage, the CSV import works as-is with the standard mapping.
The converter works with every Capitec statement layout (Savings, Transact Account, Business Account, Credit Card). Tools that advertise "bank2csv" style conversion for South African banks typically run the same kind of table-extraction under the hood — what differs is accuracy on multi-line descriptions and column alignment.
