CSV

CSV is a plain-text file format for tabular data, where each row is a record and each column is separated by a delimiter. It is widely used for exporting transactions, ledgers, and reports because it is simple, lightweight, and compatible with spreadsheets like XLSX and bank statement exports. When you need a spreadsheet format, you can use our CSV to Excel converter.

Despite the name, CSV files can use other delimiters such as semicolons or tabs depending on locale. CSV preserves data values but not formatting, formulas, or multiple sheets. For combining exports or cleaning duplicates, try the CSV merge tool and CSV deduplicator. For statement exports, a bank PDF to CSV converter provides CSV output ready for reconciliation.
