About Starling Bank statements
Starling Bank is a UK digital bank headquartered in London, offering app-based personal, joint and business accounts.
Starling issues a PDF statement for each calendar month, which appears in the app between the 4th and 10th of the following month. Each page carries a 'True Copy' stamp so lenders and other third parties can verify it, and a large-print version is offered. Fees for overdrafts or loans show on the statement, and downloading several months at once produces a ZIP file.
Typical United Kingdom statement headings and where they go in your export:
| On the statement | In your export |
|---|---|
| Date | Date |
| Payment type | Reference |
| Description | Description |
| Paid out | Debit (and negative Amount) |
| Paid in | Credit (and positive Amount) |
| Money out | Debit (and negative Amount) |
Also known as Starling Business and Starling app.
How to download your Starling statement as a PDF
- Open the account menu and go to 'Statements and documents'.
- Select 'Statement history' and tick the month or months you need.
- Tap 'Download statement' and choose standard or large-print PDF.
- Several months download together as a single ZIP file.
Menu names can change between app and website versions.
Starling CSV and Excel downloads vs converting the PDF
Monthly statements are PDF only. For CSV, Starling's feed exports ('Go to feed exports' in Statement history) create a transaction summary for any dates in the last 12 months as PDF or CSV, but these summaries aren't verifiable statements.
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 Starling statements
- Starling's 'True Copy' statements are the verifiable version; convert those rather than a feed export when your spreadsheet must match what a lender or accountant sees.
- Unzip a multi-month download and add all the PDFs to the converter at once; it merges them into one Excel, CSV or OFX file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I download a Starling bank statement?
Open the account menu, go to 'Statements and documents', then 'Statement history'. Select one or more months and tap 'Download statement', choosing standard or large print. Each month's statement becomes available between the 4th and 10th of the following month.
Can I export Starling transactions to Excel?
Yes, as a transaction summary: in 'Statement history', tap 'Go to feed exports' and pick any period within the last 12 months as CSV or PDF. Starling notes these summaries aren't verifiable statements, so convert the True Copy PDF when figures must match an official statement.
Are Starling statements verifiable?
Yes. Starling stamps statements downloaded in the app with 'True Copy' at the top of each page, so third parties such as lenders can rely on them. Transaction summaries created through feed exports don't carry that status, even though they contain the same transactions.
Is it safe to convert my Starling statement here?
Yes. The conversion happens on your own device; your Starling statement is not uploaded, stored or shared. This site is independent and not affiliated with Starling Bank.
