Wells Fargo serves native PDFs with a real text layer for the past 7 years of statements. Older statements come back as image PDFs and trigger OCR automatically.

Convert it

Use our Wells Fargo converter or the general PDF to Excel page. The output covers:

• Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance, Reference
• Check images annotated by check number where Wells Fargo prints them
• Multi-page statements joined into a single sheet
• Account metadata (number, period, opening/closing balances) on a second sheet

Wells Fargo specifics

• Check imaging. Personal checking statements include thumbnails of cleared checks. We extract the check number and amount; the image itself is not embedded in the spreadsheet.
• Daily ledger balance. Wells Fargo prints a daily balance summary at the end. The converter includes it on a separate sheet rather than mixing it into the transaction rows.
• Business statements. Wells Fargo Business Choice / Navigate Business Checking use the same layout — no extra config needed.
