TL;DR - Quick Summary

  • Who it is for: Citibank checking, Priority, Business Checking, and Citi credit card customers importing into QuickBooks, Xero, or other accounting software.
  • Get the PDF: Log in at citibank.com, choose the account, open Statements, and download the full monthly statement rather than a custom date range.
  • Key fact: A PDF that holds several accounts is split by account number, and business statements keep ACH, wire, and check number details.
  • Watch out for: Confirm all pages are included before converting and compare the ending balance to the PDF summary after import.
  • Start: Convert at /pdf-to-csv, then in QuickBooks Online use the bank account's Upload from file option and map Date, Description, and Amount.

Citibank CSV Best Practices

Statement Download

  • β€’ Always download from eStatements section for best quality
  • β€’ Verify all pages are included before conversion
  • β€’ Use monthly statements for consistent formatting

Business Accounts

  • β€’ Business statements include additional reference data
  • β€’ ACH and wire transfers preserve all details in CSV
  • β€’ Check numbers are automatically included

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: Multiple Accounts in One PDF

Solution: Our converter automatically separates accounts by account number. Each account appears as a distinct section in your CSV output.

Issue: Credit Card Statements Look Different

Solution: Citi credit card statements use a different format but convert equally well. The CSV output maintains merchant categories and reward point data.

Should I convert the Citi PDF or use a transaction download?

If Citi's online banking lets you download the exact date range you need as a spreadsheet file, that download is fine to use. Convert the PDF when the period you need only exists as a statement, or when a client has sent you PDFs rather than a login. The statement is also the official record, so converting it keeps your books tied to the same document an auditor or lender will ask for.

How do I check a converted Citi statement before importing it?

Compare the CSV against the account summary on the Citi statement: beginning balance plus credits minus debits should equal the ending balance. If the PDF covers several linked accounts, check each one on its own, since the converter splits them by account number. Then count the rows against the transaction list to catch anything dropped at a page break.
