How to Export Your Santander Statement as PDF or CSV

Export from Santander online banking

Santander operates in several countries, including Santander UK, Spain, the United States, and others, so the exact menu names differ by region. The general path is the same everywhere, so follow these steps and adapt the labels to what you see.

1. Sign in to your Santander online banking on a computer browser. Exports tend to be easier on desktop than in the app.
2. Select the account you want, for example your current or checking account, from your list of accounts or the dashboard.
3. For a PDF, look for a section called Statements, Documents, or e-statements. Pick the statement period you need and download or view it as a PDF. You can usually save several past months.
4. For a CSV, stay on the transaction list or account activity view. Look for a Download, Export, or downward arrow option, often near the top or bottom of the list, and choose CSV or Excel as the format.
5. Choose a date range before exporting the CSV. Three to twelve months gives a clear picture of every subscription and fee, since some charges only appear annually.
6. Save the file somewhere you can find it, such as your Downloads folder.

Export from the Santander mobile app

The app is handy when you are away from a computer, though the export options can be more limited.

1. Open the app and log in with your usual security or biometrics.
2. Tap the account you want to review.
3. Find statements or documents. Look for a Statements, Documents, or Manage menu, often behind a settings icon or the three-dot menu on the account screen.
4. Download the PDF for the period you need. The app will let you save it to your phone or share it to email, cloud storage, or another app.
5. If you need a CSV, and the app does not offer a direct export, simply sign in on a desktop browser instead, where the download option is usually available.

Once the file is on your device, you can move it to a computer or work with it directly, whichever is easier.

What to do with the file next

Having the export is only half the job. The point is to learn what is actually leaving your account each month. This is where VESTELON FLOW comes in. Upload the one file you just exported, PDF or CSV, and FLOW reads it and lists every recurring charge and fee it finds: streaming services, app subscriptions, gym memberships, insurance, and the small account or card fees that are easy to miss.

Your first report is free, and there is no bank login. You never connect your Santander account or hand over a password. You export one statement yourself, upload it, and read the result. The file stays private, which matters when it holds every detail of your spending.

People are often surprised by what shows up: a trial that quietly started billing, a price that crept up over the year, or a duplicate subscription paid on two cards. Seeing it all on one list is the first step to cancelling what you no longer use.

Common questions

Can I export several months at once?

Yes. For a CSV, set the date range to cover the months you want before exporting. For PDFs, you usually download one statement period at a time, so grab a few in a row for a fuller view.

Does FLOW need my Santander login?

No. FLOW never asks for bank credentials. You export the statement yourself and upload the file, so your login stays with you and the bank.

Which file should I upload, the PDF or the CSV?

Either works. The CSV is cleanest because every transaction sits on its own row, but if your Santander account only gives you a PDF, that is fine too. Use whichever one you can get.
