How to Convert Chase Credit Card Statements to Excel (2026)

5 min read
|By CreditCardToExcel Team

If you've ever tried to export your Chase credit card transactions to Excel, you've probably noticed something frustrating: Chase doesn't offer CSV downloads for credit cards. Their CSV export is limited to checking accounts only.

That means your only option for getting Chase credit card transactions into a spreadsheet is to manually type them in — or use a converter tool to extract the data from your PDF statement automatically. (For a complete overview of all conversion methods, see our credit card statement to Excel guide.)

In this guide, we'll walk through exactly how to do it.

Why Chase Only Provides PDF Statements

Chase provides credit card statements exclusively as PDF files through their online portal at chase.com. Unlike checking accounts, which offer CSV and QFX download options, credit cards are limited to PDF format. This isn't unique to Chase — PDF is an industry-wide standard for credit card statements across all major issuers. For a full breakdown of all conversion methods and how AI extraction works, see our complete credit card statement to Excel guide.

This is a common frustration for anyone who needs to:

  • Track expenses in a spreadsheet for budgeting
  • Prepare tax documentation for business expenses
  • Import transactions into accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero
  • Analyze spending patterns across categories
  • Reconcile credit card charges with receipts

The good news is that converting a Chase PDF statement to Excel takes about 30 seconds with the right tool.


Step-by-Step: Convert Your Chase Statement

Download Your Chase Statement PDF

First, you need the PDF file from Chase:

  1. Log in to chase.com or open the Chase mobile app
  2. Navigate to your credit card account
  3. Click "Statements" in the top navigation menu
  4. Select the statement period you want to convert
  5. Click "Download" to save the PDF to your computer

Chase keeps up to 7 years of statements available for download. Each statement covers one billing cycle and includes all purchases, payments, credits, fees, and interest charges.

Upload to CreditCardToExcel

Once you have the PDF:

  1. Go to CreditCardToExcel.com
  2. Drag and drop your Chase statement PDF into the upload area (or click to browse)
  3. Wait a few seconds while our AI extracts the transactions

The converter uses AI to read your Chase statement and identify every transaction, including the date, merchant name, and amount. It handles Chase's specific formatting — including multi-line descriptions, rewards summaries, and fee breakdowns.

Download Your Excel File

After processing, you'll see all your extracted transactions in a preview table. Each transaction is automatically categorized (groceries, dining, travel, etc.).

Click "Download Excel" for an .xlsx file or "Download CSV" if you need CSV format for importing into other tools.

That's it — your Chase credit card transactions are now in a spreadsheet.

  • Chase Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve
  • Chase Freedom Unlimited and Freedom Flex
  • Chase Ink Business Preferred, Cash, and Unlimited
  • Amazon Prime Visa

The converter handles any Chase credit card statement format, regardless of when it was issued.


What Gets Extracted?

Each transaction in your Excel file includes:

ColumnExample

DescriptionWHOLE FOODS MARKET #10234
Amount$127.43
CategoryGroceries

Credits and payments appear as negative amounts, making it easy to calculate your net balance in the spreadsheet.

💡 Chase-Specific Note

Chase doesn't offer CSV downloads for credit cards — only checking accounts. If you need your credit card transactions in a spreadsheet, converting the PDF statement is the only reliable method.
