Convert Starling Bank statements to Excel or CSV
Starling changed its statements in August 2026. Statements downloaded in the app now carry a 'True Copy' stamp with a verification number, full monthly statements cover calendar months, and custom date ranges come as a transaction summary instead. Whichever PDF you have, this page explains how it converts to Excel or CSV and what to watch for.

Statement notes
What to know about Starling Bank statements
Statements versus transaction summaries
A full monthly statement covers a calendar month and is verifiable. For other dates within the last 12 months, Starling offers a transaction summary as a PDF, large-print PDF or CSV, and says these are not verifiable statements. Both convert; give a lender the statement.
The 'True Copy' stamp
Each statement downloaded in the app has a 'True Copy' stamp at the top with a unique verification number that third parties can check with Starling. The stamp identifies the document rather than any transaction, so it has no place in your rows.
Spaces
Spaces, Starling's savings pots, have their own transaction histories, and if a Space is deleted its history stays viewable in the account statement. Money moved between the main balance and a Space is a transfer, not income or spending, so check those rows before importing.
Several months at once
You can download several full months in one go. Upload them together and the run is checked for missing or overlapping months, which matters if a custom-range summary has ended up in the same folder as the monthly statements.

Accounting tip
FreeAgent also takes OFX and QIF, but for a converted statement you'll be uploading CSV: three columns (dd/mm/yyyy date, amount, description), no header row and no commas inside descriptions. Clear commas with Find and Replace in Excel before saving, or FreeAgent will reject the file.
