About American Express statements
Amex statements are the classic expense-report source: long merchant descriptions, foreign currency detail and separate sections per supplementary card. They convert well because the type is crisp and consistent.
How to download your American Express statement as a PDF
Sign in at americanexpress.com, open Statements & Activity, pick the period, and download the PDF.
Always take the statement file the bank issues rather than printing a transaction list from the browser. The issued statement is the document of record, and it converts more reliably than a printed page.
What a American Express statement looks like
Statements open with an account summary and payment information, then list New Charges grouped by cardmember, followed by fees, interest and a rewards summary.
American Express quirks to watch for
These are the details that break a copy-paste into Excel, and the reason a American Express statement rarely lands cleanly on the first try:
- Each supplementary cardmember gets their own charges section under a separate header.
- Foreign transactions print the original currency and exchange detail under the merchant line.
- Payments and credits sit in a separate block from new charges.
- US statements print dates month first, which is what a US-configured spreadsheet expects.
What you get back
Every American Express conversion returns the same columns, in USD, so statements from different months and different accounts stack in one spreadsheet without rework:
| Date | Description | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-03-04 | CARD PAYMENT TO SUPERMARKET | -64.20 |
Check the export before you use it: opening balance plus the sum of the amount column should equal the closing balance printed on your American Express statement.
Why not just export from American Express directly?
Use the direct export when it covers the period you need. It rarely does. Direct CSV, OFX and QBO downloads are usually capped at a recent window, while PDF statements stay available for years, and they are the only thing left once an account is closed. Converting the PDF removes the date limit entirely.
Frequently asked questions
+Are charges from multiple cardmembers kept apart?
The cardmember name is carried into the description so per-person spend can be split in a pivot table.
+Does it handle foreign currency charges?
Yes. The billed amount is used for the amount column, with the original currency detail preserved in the description.
+Is the American Express statement converter free?
Yes. No signup, no email and no watermark on the output. The only limit is a 10MB file size.
+Do you store my American Express statement?
No. The PDF is processed in memory to build the CSV and is never written to disk or retained.
+Is this service affiliated with American Express?
No. This is an independent tool with no connection to American Express. It reads a PDF you already have and never connects to your account.
