Open the converterWhat a HSBC statement looks like
HSBC UK statements use a Date, Payment type and details, Paid out, Paid in and Balance layout, with dates in a DD MMM YY format. Payment type codes such as DD, SO, BP and VIS prefix each description. A balance brought forward and carried forward line bookends the transaction list.
The layout matters because ConvertFin reads the selectable text inside your PDF and rebuilds each transaction as a spreadsheet row. Wherever HSBC places the dates, descriptions, amounts and any running balance, the converter maps them into a small set of clean columns you can sort, filter and total.
Columns you get in the export
Every HSBC statement is exported to the same tidy structure, in both Excel and CSV:
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Date | The transaction date from your HSBC statement |
| Description | The merchant or payee text, kept on a single row |
| Amount | The debit or credit as a single signed value |
| Balance | The running balance where HSBC prints one, left blank for card statements that carry no balance |
You get the same columns whether you convert the bank statement to Excel or convert it to CSV, so the file is ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or import straight into accounting tools.
Tip. HSBC prints separate paid out and paid in columns. Both map to the amount column on export, and the payment type codes are worth keeping to categorise direct debits and card payments later.

Is it safe to convert a HSBC statement online?
With ConvertFin there is no online step for your data. Your HSBC statement is processed entirely in your browser, so the PDF is never sent to a server, never stored, and never seen by us. That is the whole point of the client-side design: a bank statement carries your account number and full transaction history, so the safest converter is one that never receives the file in the first place. There is more detail on the security page.
Runs in your browser with pdf.js, nothing is uploaded or stored, no signup, and clean Date / Description / Amount / Balance columns out to Excel and CSV.
HSBC conversion FAQ
Do I need to upload my HSBC statement anywhere?
No. The conversion runs locally in your browser with pdf.js, so your HSBC PDF never leaves your device and is not stored on any server.
What formats can I export a HSBC statement to?
Both Excel (.xlsx) and CSV. The columns — Date, Description, Amount and Balance — are identical in either format, so you can open the file in Excel or Google Sheets or import it into your accounting software.
Is there anything specific to watch for with a HSBC statement?
HSBC prints separate paid out and paid in columns. Both map to the amount column on export, and the payment type codes are worth keeping to categorise direct debits and card payments later.
Does it work with a scanned HSBC statement?
Only if the PDF has selectable text. Scanned or photographed image-only statements have no text layer to read, so those are not supported. Download the original PDF from HSBC online banking instead of scanning a paper copy.
