Built for Nordic Banks
Unlike generic converters, we understand Swedish date formats (YYYY-MM-DD), Nordic number formats (1 234,56), and the specific layouts of Handelsbanken, SEB, Nordea, Swedbank, and 50+ more banks.
Faster Than Manual Entry
Converting a 10-page statement manually takes 30+ minutes. With BSC, it takes less than 10 seconds. Upload, click, download. Your time is worth more than that.
Fortnox-Ready Exports
We are the only converter that exports directly in Fortnox-compatible CSV format. No reformatting, no column mapping. Just import and reconcile.
Why not just use your bank's CSV export?
Many Swedish banks offer CSV downloads, but they come with limitations. Some banks only provide CSV for the last 90 days. Others require you to log in and manually select date ranges. And the format is rarely compatible with Fortnox or Visma out of the box.
With BankStatementConverter, you can convert any PDF statement, regardless of age, and get it in the exact format you need. Perfect for year-end bookkeeping, tax declarations, or historical analysis.
