Quick answer

What a Coutts bank statement looks like
Coutts statements are private-banking statements that may include multiple currencies and linked accounts.
UK statements usually start with a 'balance brought forward' line, list Paid out / Paid in / Balance columns and end with 'balance carried forward'. Dates are often printed as '05 Jan 24'.
How to convert a Coutts statement
- Sign in to Coutts online banking under Statements and download the statement for the period you need as a PDF (not a screenshot).
- If the PDF is password-protected, open it and save an unprotected copy first.
- Upload one or several months to StatementPilot. Scanned or photographed statements are read with OCR.
- Check the reconciliation panel: the "Opening balance" plus deposits minus withdrawals should equal the "Closing balance".
- Export to Excel or CSV for analysis, or QBO/OFX/QIF to import into Xero, Sage and QuickBooks Online.
Dates, amounts and account numbers in the UK
Amounts use 1,234.56. Many UK statements mark credits with 'CR' or show overdrawn balances with 'OD' or 'D' rather than a minus sign. We read the date order from the statement itself and default to DD/MM/YYYY for United Kingdom, so 03/04 is never silently swapped.
Accounts are identified by a six-digit sort code and an eight-digit account number. Only the masked or last digits are carried into QBO/OFX files, as those importers expect.
Importing Coutts transactions into your accounting software
Accountants in the UK most often import into Xero, Sage, QuickBooks Online and FreeAgent. Choose QBO for QuickBooks, the Xero CSV for Xero, OFX for most other packages, or Excel/CSV for anything else.
When your bank feed only goes back a few months, converted Coutts statements fill the gap for older periods without manual typing.
Why statements are still needed
Open Banking makes CSV downloads common for recent months, but PDF statements remain the standard for older periods, audits and mortgage applications.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a Coutts bank statement to Excel?
Yes. Upload the PDF and download an .xlsx file with date, description, amount and balance columns plus a summary sheet showing the opening balance, closing balance and reconciliation result.
How do I get my Coutts statement as a PDF?
Statements are available in Coutts online banking under Statements. Choose the statement period and download or save it as a PDF; a printed copy can also be scanned or photographed and uploaded.
Can I import Coutts transactions into Xero?
Yes. Export the converted statement in the format Xero accepts (QBO, OFX or a formatted CSV) and import it as a bank statement file. Dates are written in the format your software expects.
Do I need a Coutts template?
No. StatementPilot doesn't rely on bank-specific templates, so redesigned Coutts statements and older layouts both work. The reconciliation check confirms nothing was missed.
