Getting your statement out of Metro Bank
Metro Bank files statements under a 'Documents' area inside internet banking — you open the account, click 'Documents' then 'Account Statements' and view each month. Paper copies are ordered by phone and take 10 working days to arrive.
Download a statement in Metro Bank internet banking
- Log in to Personal (or Business) internet banking.
- Click the account you want statements for.
- Click 'Documents', then 'Account Statements'.
- Select the year, then click 'View' next to the month — the statement opens in a new window to download or print.
Metro Bank advises switching off pop-up blockers first, because the statement opens in a new window.
Export transactions to CSV
- Log in to internet banking and go to the accounts page.
- Select the account and the month you need.
- Use the 'Export transactions to CSV' link to download the file.
Metro Bank publishes a dedicated 'Exporting Transaction Data' user guide for business customers covering this in detail.
Order a paper copy statement
- Call 0345 08 08 500 (personal) or 0345 08 08 508 (business).
- Request a copy of the statement period you need.
- Allow 10 working days for it to arrive in the post.
Menu wording shifts between app versions; the destinations above stay stable — confirm against Metro Bank's official help. Statements up to 5 MB / 5,000 rows are supported; card numbers are redacted before storage, the original file is deleted within 24 hours, and reports stay in your dashboard only as long as your plan keeps them.
What Metro Bank gives you natively
Statements open as printable/downloadable documents (PDF) from the 'Account Statements' area. CSV export is available from the transactions view — accounting guides describe a per-month 'Export transactions to CSV' link, and Metro Bank's business banking has an official exporting-transaction-data guide. No OFX or QIF support is advertised. The app is primarily for day-to-day banking; the Documents/Account Statements area in internet banking is the reliable statement source.
How far back you can go
Metro Bank's help page does not state a fixed online retention period; it presents year-by-year statement selection in the Documents area. Accounting guides report that customers can download PDFs of all statements since account opening, with transactions visible back to 2015 — treat those specifics as third-party reporting. For anything not available online, ordered paper copies arrive within 10 working days.
Metro Bank statement quirks worth knowing
- Statements are tucked under 'Documents' per account rather than a global statements menu, and each month opens in a pop-up window — hence Metro's own pop-up-blocker warning.
- Metro Bank statements use plain merchant descriptions rather than a UK type-code column (no DEB/D/D/SO abbreviations), so line classification relies on descriptor text.
- CSV export is organised month-by-month rather than by arbitrary date range, per accounting guides — multi-month data means multiple downloads.
- As a newer bank (founded 2010), even 'full history' is shorter than legacy banks' archives, and third-party guides note transaction visibility reaching back to around 2015.
Don't just convert it — understand it
The same upload also produces a full analysis of your Metro Bankstatement: every merchant identified with confidence levels, subscriptions with renewal estimates and yearly cost, duplicate and price-rise flags, bank & FX fees, and a printable report. That's the part a plain converter can't do.

Frequently asked questions
How do I download a Metro Bank statement as a PDF?
Log in to internet banking, click the account, then 'Documents', then 'Account Statements'. Pick the year, click 'View' beside the month, and download or print from the window that opens (turn off pop-up blockers first).
Can I export Metro Bank transactions to CSV or Excel?
Yes — from the accounts page, select the account and month and use the 'Export transactions to CSV' link. The CSV opens in Excel. Business customers have an official Metro Bank export guide.
How do I get an old or paper Metro Bank statement?
Call 0345 08 08 500 (personal) or 0345 08 08 508 (business) to order a copy; statements take 10 working days to arrive by post.
How far back do Metro Bank statements go?
Metro Bank doesn't publish a fixed limit; the Documents area lets you select statements by year, and accounting guides report PDFs are available back to account opening.
How do I convert a Metro Bank statement to CSV or Excel?
Download a statement from your Metro Bank app or online banking (PDF or CSV both work), upload it above, and download the result as CSV, Excel, QIF, OFX or JSON. Every transaction is parsed, and merchants are identified automatically.
Does it work with Metro Bank PDF statements?
Yes. Structured exports are parsed exactly; PDF layouts go through AI structure analysis, and scanned PDFs are read page-by-page with AI vision — every date and amount is re-validated by code afterwards.
Is my statement safe?
Card and account numbers are redacted before anything is stored, the original file is deleted within 24 hours on every plan, analysed reports stay in your dashboard only for your plan's retention period (24 hours on Free), and we never ask for your bank login.
Is it free?
Converting a statement is free with an account (1 page per 24 hours). Paid plans add more pages, bulk uploads and AI web research on stubborn merchants.
