How to Convert BNP Paribas Bank Statements to Excel

Introduction

BNP Paribas is one of France's largest banks, serving millions of businesses and individuals. If you're an accountant or finance manager working with BNP Paribas statements, manually re-entering transaction data into Excel is a tedious and error-prone process. EuroExtract automates this entirely.

In this guide, we'll walk through exactly how to convert your BNP Paribas PDF bank statement into a clean Excel spreadsheet in under 30 seconds.

What Data Gets Extracted?

EuroExtract extracts the following fields from every transaction in your BNP Paribas statement:

• Date — in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Description — the full transaction label
• Amount — positive for credits, negative for debits
• Currency — EUR for most accounts
• Type — credit or debit
• IBAN — the counterparty IBAN when available
• BIC/SWIFT — the counterparty bank code
• Reference — structured payment reference (used in SEPA transfers)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Download Your Statement PDF

Log into your BNP Paribas online banking portal (Net Entreprises or Mabanque), navigate to your account statements, and download the PDF for the period you need.

Step 2: Upload to EuroExtract

1. Go to EuroExtract and log in (or create a free account)
2. From your dashboard, click or drag your BNP Paribas PDF into the upload zone
3. The system will automatically detect the file and begin processing

Step 3: Wait for AI Processing

Our AI uses DeepSeek to extract text from the PDF and parse every transaction. For a typical monthly BNP Paribas statement (3-8 pages), this takes 10-20 seconds.

For scanned or image-based statements, Gemini Vision is used as a fallback to perform OCR before extraction.

Step 4: Download Your Excel File

Once processing is complete (status shows "Completed"):

1. Click the Export button next to your document
2. Select Excel (.xlsx) from the dropdown
3. Your file downloads immediately

The Excel file contains a clean "Transactions" sheet with headers: Date, Description, Amount, Currency, Type, IBAN, BIC, Reference.

Other Export Formats

If you work with French accounting software, you may prefer:

• Sage — for Sage 50, Sage Comptabilité
• Cegid — for Cegid Y2 / Quadra Entreprises
• FEC — the official French DGFiP audit format (Fichier des Écritures Comptables)

All are available from the same Export dropdown.

Pricing

• Free tier: 3 pages total — perfect for testing
• Pro: $15/month for 500 pages, with extra pages at $2/100

Most monthly statements are 2-6 pages, so a Pro subscription handles 80-250 statements per month.
