How to Convert Marcus by Goldman Sachs Statements to CSV

5 min readJuly 25, 2024

Quick Answer: To convert your Marcus by Goldman Sachs statement to CSV or Excel, download your monthly PDF from the Marcus online portal, then upload it to QuickBankConvert. QuickBankConvert parses the PDF layout, extracts all transactions, and delivers a clean spreadsheet with Date, Description, Amount, and Balance columns in under 30 seconds.


Marcus Export Options and Gaps

Marcus by Goldman Sachs is one of the most popular high-yield savings platforms in the United States, known for competitive interest rates and its Goldman Sachs institutional backing. However, like many digital-first savings products, Marcus offers limited data export options compared to full-service banks.

Here is what Marcus currently provides:

  • Monthly PDF statements: Marcus generates a PDF account statement for each calendar month. These are available from the Account Documents section of the online portal and app.
  • No native CSV download: There is no button or menu option to export transactions as CSV or Excel from the Marcus transaction history view.
  • No OFX/QFX support: Marcus does not support the OFX or QFX formats used by QuickBooks and similar accounting software for direct import.
  • CD statements are separate: If you hold a Marcus CD, it generates its own statement. This guide focuses on the Online Savings Account statement.

For users who need to track interest income for taxes, verify a loan application, or simply maintain a personal finance spreadsheet, PDF conversion is the only practical path. QuickBankConvert is designed precisely for this use case.

Marcus Statement Format Quirks

Marcus PDF statements are generally clean and well-structured, but a few characteristics are worth noting:

Interest Credit Rows

Marcus is primarily a savings product, so a significant transaction type is the monthly interest credit. These appear as standard rows (e.g., "Interest Payment" or "Interest Credit") at the end of each monthly statement and will be included in your converted output.

Minimal Transaction Types

Unlike a checking account with dozens of daily transactions, a typical Marcus savings account may have only 5โ€“20 transactions per month (transfers in, transfers out, and interest). The converted spreadsheet will reflect this and is easy to work with.

Linked Account Transfers

Transfers to and from your linked external bank account appear as standard debit/credit rows with descriptions identifying them as "ACH Transfer" or the name of your linked institution.

CD Interest Statements

If you also hold Marcus CDs, their statements have a different format (typically showing interest accrual rather than transaction history). These can be uploaded to QuickBankConvert, but the output structure may differ.

Practical Uses for Marcus Transaction Data

Interest income tracking for taxes: If you're earning meaningful interest from a high-yield savings account, that interest is taxable income. Your Marcus 1099-INT covers the annual total, but having a monthly spreadsheet of interest credits helps with quarterly estimated tax payments and reconciling your 1099 against your records.

Savings goal tracking: Use the Balance column in your converted spreadsheet to chart the growth of your savings over time. Build a simple line chart in Excel to visualize your progress toward a down payment, emergency fund, or other savings goal.

Loan application documentation: Banks and mortgage lenders often require 2โ€“3 months of savings account statements as proof of assets. A clean spreadsheet summary (in addition to the original PDF statements) makes it easy to answer lender questions quickly.

Consolidated personal finance view: If you use Marcus for savings alongside a checking account at another bank, converting both to CSV and merging them in Excel gives you a complete picture of your monthly cash flows.

Callout โ€” Maximizing Marcus High-Yield Interest: If you're using Marcus as your primary emergency fund or long-term savings vehicle, tracking your monthly interest credits in a spreadsheet lets you calculate your actual earned APY versus the advertised rate โ€” useful for comparing with other high-yield options over time.


Tips for Best Results

  • Always use the official PDF from the portal: Do not screenshot your statements or print to PDF from the browser โ€” these create image-only PDFs that cannot be parsed. Always download from Marcus's Account Documents section.
  • Check for password protection: Marcus PDFs are not typically password-protected, but verify before uploading to QuickBankConvert.
  • One month per conversion: For the clearest results, convert one monthly PDF at a time, then combine months in Excel.
  • Verify the interest row: After conversion, find the interest credit row and confirm the amount matches what you see in the Marcus portal. This is a quick accuracy check.

Callout โ€” For High-Balance Marcus Accounts: If your Marcus account holds $50,000 or more, your monthly interest income will be substantial. Maintaining a running spreadsheet of monthly balances and interest paid gives you clear documentation for estate planning, financial advisory meetings, or personal net worth tracking.
