Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to email my merged bank statements as a PDF?
Emailing unencrypted bank statements can be risky due to sensitive financial data. It is highly recommended to password-protect the PDF before sending it and share the password with the recipient through a different communication channel, such as an SMS.
Why do my bank statements download as HTML or CSV instead of PDF?
Some banks offer different download formats for accounting software compatibility. Ensure you specifically select the 'Document', 'Statement', or 'PDF' option instead of 'Export data'. Alternatively, you can use the 'Print' function on the webpage and select 'Save as PDF'.
Can I rearrange the order of the statement pages before merging?
Yes, when you upload your individual PDF files into a PDF merging tool, you can usually drag and drop the file thumbnails to reorder them chronologically before clicking the final merge button.
