Crelan Bank Statement PDF to Excel and CSV Converter

What is the Crelan bank statement converter?

The Crelan SA/NV converter reads your PDF and turns every transaction line into a structured spreadsheet row, with no copy-pasting or manual formatting. Crelan-specific codes such as 'BANCONTACT' are normalised automatically: 'BANCONTACT MATCH 1234 NAMUR' becomes 'Match Namur' in your spreadsheet. Multi-line entries are merged into one row. Crelan SA/NV, a Belgian cooperative bank that emerged from the merger of Centea and Landbouwkrediet and is regulated by the National Bank of Belgium (NBB), serves individuals, farmers and SMEs with statements conforming to SEPA and BANCONTACT standards and a historical focus on the agricultural sector.

Upload any Crelan PDF statement, whether it is a Crelan Current Account, a Crelan Savings Account or a Crelan Pro, and get a structured Excel or CSV file with Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns. Unlike the native Crelan export limited to the 7-year online statement history limit, this converter works on any PDF regardless of date, giving access to prior financial years and older statements.

Why use a Crelan bank statement converter?

• Auto-normalise Crelan transaction codes

  Crelan SA/NV statements use codes like 'BANCONTACT' that are hard to read and impossible to sort manually. Automatic parsing strips these prefixes and writes a clean merchant name into every Description cell.

• Go beyond the 7-year online statement history limit

  The native Crelan export covers only a limited date range. This converter works on any Crelan PDF, including prior financial years and client statements, in seconds.

• Reconcile Crelan accounts faster

  Sort and filter exported rows by BANCONTACT payments with prefix stripped, CAP agricultural subsidy and Walloon regional aid credits tagged in Notes, and FPS Finance VAT direct debits labelled and reconcile every entry against your general ledger without scrolling through compressed PDF pages.

• Simplify year-end close and Belgian tax filing

  Categorise normalised Crelan BANCONTACT payments, CAP agricultural subsidies tagged in Notes distinct from operating revenue, and VAT advance payment direct debits for Belgian tax tracking via MyMinfin in a spreadsheet and hand your accountant a clean, audit-ready file instead of a stack of PDFs.

• Process scanned or old Crelan statements

  Legacy Crelan SA/NV PDFs and scanned statements are supported via OCR. The engine identifies the Crelan column structure and extracts transaction lines even when text is not selectable in the original file.

• Keep Crelan data secure

  Crelan statements contain IBAN/BIC numbers, account numbers and personal spending history. Protected uploads and privacy-focused processing keep your documents secure throughout the conversion.

Crelan bank statement converter features

1. Works with all Crelan account types

The engine processes Crelan Current Account, Crelan Savings Account and Crelan Pro formats. Each format has its own column structure and page header. Detection is automatic with no manual setup required.

2. Built for Crelan PDF format

Crelan statements combine ordinary BANCONTACT payments with sector-specific cash flows for farming clients, including credits from European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) direct payments or Walloon regional agricultural aid disbursed by regional payment agencies. The converter identifies agricultural subsidy labels and tags them clearly in Notes to separate them from operating revenue in professional tax filings. BANCONTACT payments export with the normalised merchant name in the Description column. Entries such as 'BANCONTACT MATCH 1234 NAMUR' are parsed and output as 'Match Namur', giving you a clean Description cell ready for filtering or categorisation.

3. Export to Excel or CSV

Download an Excel workbook (.xlsx) for pivot tables and formulas, or a CSV for direct import into your accounting package. All exports include Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns.

4. Structured, usable Crelan data

Every export delivers consistent columns with Crelan prefixes removed, euro amounts as raw numbers and dates normalised to DD/MM/YYYY format for correct sorting in Excel.

5. Private and secure processing

Protected uploads and privacy-focused processing keep your Crelan IBAN/BIC numbers and transaction history secure throughout the conversion process.

Crelan Bank Statement PDF to Excel and CSV: Guide for Belgian Farmers and Self-Employed Workers

For farmers, agricultural self-employed workers and rural SMEs banking with Crelan, the cooperative bank that emerged from the merger of Centea and Landbouwkrediet, current account statements may include sector-specific cash flows: credits from European agricultural subsidies (CAP direct payments) or Walloon regional agricultural aid disbursed by regional payment agencies appear alongside ordinary client transfers. These agricultural subsidies or farm investment grants appear as ordinary Credit entries if labels are not treated separately. The converter identifies agricultural subsidy labels and tags them clearly in the Notes column to separate them from operating revenue in professional tax filings. For VAT-registered Belgian agricultural businesses, direct debits to FPS Finance for VAT advance payments export as labelled Debit lines for tax tracking via MyMinfin. BANCONTACT payments from Crelan export with normalised merchant names for expense categorisation in the annual tax return. SEPA transfers include structured references preserved in Notes.
