Chase is the largest bank in the United States, so getting Chase transactions into a spreadsheet comes up constantly — tax season, loan applications, monthly bookkeeping. Chase's own export genuinely works for recent activity. This guide covers exactly what it contains, its real date-range limit, and how to get data out of the older PDF statements it can't reach.

Quick summary

Getting a full year of Chase transactions into a spreadsheet without retyping them means knowing where Chase's own export actually stops. Chase's Activity page exports CSV, QFX, and QBO directly — free, and the fastest option if the transactions you need are recent. The real limit: roughly the last 90 days on checking and savings accounts. PDF statements go back 7 years, but Chase provides no structured export for them at all — the gap this page covers.

The Limits of Chase's Native Export

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chase let me export a CSV or Excel statement directly?
Yes for recent activity — Chase's Activity page exports CSV, QFX (Quicken), and QBO (QuickBooks), but there's no native .xlsx button. CSV opens fine in Excel either way. The real limit is the date range: roughly the last 90 days on checking and savings accounts.
How far back do Chase PDF statements go?
Up to 7 years through online banking's Statements section — but those PDFs have no structured export option at all. That's the real gap this page covers.
Will the CSV or Excel export show a running balance?
Yes, on deposit accounts (checking and savings) — the native CSV includes a balance column.
What if my statement is a scan or a photo, not a proper PDF?
It still works — BalanceExtract falls back to on-device OCR automatically when a page has no real text layer, and flags it clearly in the results so you know to double-check those specific rows before exporting.
Can I combine Chase statements with other banks?
Yes. Drop PDFs from Chase and any other bank into the same batch — BalanceExtract detects each one and processes them together into one export.
Is my Chase statement data safe?
Nothing is uploaded, ever. The PDF is read and converted entirely on your device — you can confirm this yourself by opening your browser's DevTools Network tab during a conversion and watching for outbound requests. There won't be any.
