About Metro Bank statements
Metro Bank is a London-headquartered retail and business bank that refers to its branches as 'stores'.
Metro Bank files statements by year and month in the account's documents area in online banking, and each one opens as a PDF. Metro's own how-to guide also describes a 'Download Transactions' option beneath the statement list for spreadsheet-format data. Statements ordered by phone or post take about 10 working days to arrive, whereas online copies can be downloaded straight away.
Typical United Kingdom statement headings and where they go in your export:

| Description | Description |
| Paid out | Debit (and negative Amount) |
| Paid in | Credit (and positive Amount) |
| Money out | Debit (and negative Amount) |
Also known as Metro Bank UK and Metro Bank PLC.
How to download your Metro Bank statement as a PDF
- Log in to online banking and select the account.
- Open 'Documents', then 'Account Statements' (or 'View your Statements').
- Choose the year, then select 'View' beside the month.
- Save the PDF; switch off pop-up blockers if it won't open.
Menu names can change between app and website versions.
Metro Bank CSV and Excel downloads vs converting the PDF
Metro Bank's online banking guide describes a 'Download Transactions' link at the bottom of the statements page for spreadsheet-format data. Statements themselves are PDFs, which remain the copy to convert if the download doesn't cover the months you need.
Converting the PDF statement is useful when you need periods outside that window, an account that is closed, or the exact figures printed on the official statement, including the running balance for reconciliation.
Tips for converting Metro Bank statements
- If the 'Download Transactions' file doesn't reach an older month, convert that month's PDF statement and combine it with the rest in the converter.
- Run the balance check after converting; it re-adds the running balance and highlights any row where a wrapped description or amount was misread.
