How to Convert SEB Statements to Excel

SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken) is one of Sweden's oldest and most established banks, serving both private customers and large corporations across the Nordics and Baltics. If you need to get your SEB transaction data into Excel for bookkeeping, tax preparation, or financial analysis, manually copying from a PDF kontoutdrag is slow and error-prone.

This guide shows you how to convert SEB PDF bank statements to Excel (.xlsx) or CSV format in seconds -- completely free, with no software to install.

Why Convert SEB Statements to Excel?

• Bookkeeping and accounting: Import SEB transactions directly into Fortnox, Visma, or Bokio instead of manual entry.
• Tax preparation: Sort and filter transactions for your Swedish deklaration. Identify deductible expenses quickly.
• Business expense tracking: Categorize corporate card and account transactions for expense reports and budgeting.
• Multi-currency analysis: SEB supports international transactions -- having them in Excel makes currency analysis straightforward.

Step-by-Step: Convert Your SEB Statement

SEB Statement Format

SEB PDF statements have several characteristics that set them apart from other Swedish banks:

• Dates in YYYY-MM-DD format (ISO standard, same as most Swedish banks)
• Swedish number formatting with space as thousands separator and comma for decimals (e.g., 1 234,56)
• Transaction reference numbers included for each entry
• Detailed transaction descriptions with merchant names and card numbers
• Multi-currency support for international transactions (amounts shown in both original currency and SEK)
• Separate columns for booking date and value date

Our SEB parser is specifically built to handle these formatting details, including the reference number extraction and multi-currency fields that other converters often miss.

Common Use Cases

Import into Fortnox

After converting your SEB statement to CSV, import it into Fortnox for bank reconciliation. Go to Fortnox → Bank → Import bank file. The date, description, and amount columns from our converter map directly to Fortnox's expected format.

Corporate expense reporting

SEB is widely used by Swedish businesses. Converting monthly statements to Excel lets finance teams quickly categorize expenses, match them to cost centers, and prepare reports for management or auditors.

International transaction analysis

SEB's strength in international banking means statements often contain transactions in multiple currencies. With our Excel export, you can filter by currency, analyze exchange rates, and reconcile international payments efficiently.
