Monzo and Statement Exports
Monzo is one of the UK's most popular neobanks, with over nine million customers using its coral-card checking accounts, savings pots, loans, and business banking products. Built entirely around a mobile app, Monzo offers excellent real-time transaction notifications, spending insights, and in-app categorization โ but like most neobanks, its bulk data export options are more limited than traditional high-street banks.
Monzo does offer an in-app CSV transaction export for personal accounts, but this is separate from official monthly statements and may not include all the fields needed for formal accounting or loan applications. Official monthly statements are available as PDF and are required for many formal purposes: mortgage applications, rental references, accountant submissions, and HMRC self-assessment support.
Converting Monzo PDF statements to Excel or CSV unlocks the full utility of your financial data. Whether you are a Monzo personal customer tracking household expenses, a freelancer reconciling business transactions, or an accountant working with a client's Monzo Business account, this guide covers the complete conversion workflow.

You can access Monzo statements through the mobile app or the Monzo web portal.

- Scroll down to find Statements or tap the three-dot menu and select Statements.
- Choose the month or custom date range.

Callout โ Monzo Business vs. Personal Statements: Monzo personal and business account statements have slightly different layouts.

Monzo Statement Formatting Specifics
DD/MM/YYYY Date Format
Monzo uses the standard UK date format: DD/MM/YYYY (e.g., 15/03/2025 = 15 March 2025). QuickBankConvert correctly identifies UK date formatting, so no manual date correction is needed after conversion.
Transaction Description Format
Monzo statement descriptions typically include the merchant name and Monzo's auto-assigned spending category. For example:
- Amazon.co.uk โ Shopping
- Tesco Superstore โ Groceries
- Netflix โ Entertainment
This category annotation carries through to the converted CSV, giving you a pre-labeled transaction file useful for immediate analysis.
Monzo Pots and Internal Transfers
Monzo's "Pots" feature allows users to hold money in named savings buckets. Transfers to and from Pots appear as internal transfers in statements. These will show in your converted CSV and should be excluded from spending analysis to avoid double-counting.
