Convert USAA Statements to CSV & Excel

About USAA Statements

USAA Federal Savings Bank serves military members, veterans, and their families across the United States. Their PDF statements include an activity summary with beginning and ending balances, fee disclosures, and a detailed transaction table with dates, descriptions, debits, credits, and running balance.

Common USAA account types include Classic Checking, Performance First Checking, savings accounts, and credit cards. StatementKit handles all of them.

USAA Statement Format Details

• Dates use MM/DD format (e.g., "08/12" for August 12). The statement header contains the full date range. StatementKit combines these to produce standardised YYYY-MM-DD dates.
• Transaction descriptions span multiple lines and include ACH reference codes, Zelle recipient details, check numbers, and merchant information.
• Debits and Credits are in separate columns. StatementKit merges these into a single Amount column with debits as negative values.
• Activity Summary — USAA statements begin with a summary showing total deposits, withdrawals, service charges, and the ending balance.
• Multi-line descriptions — USAA often wraps transaction details across multiple lines. StatementKit's AI correctly groups these into single transactions.

US Transaction Types

USAA statements include several transaction types that StatementKit handles correctly:

• Zelle transfers — Person-to-person payments with the "USAA DEBIT / Zelle:" prefix, including recipient names and reference numbers.
• ACH deposits and withdrawals — Direct deposits (payroll, Shopify transfers), pre-authorized debits (bills, subscriptions), with reference codes.
• Check clearances — Checks show "CHECK # [number]" with the amount debited.
• Debit card purchases — POS transactions with merchant names.
• Transfers between USAA accounts — Internal transfers between checking and savings.
