What to know about Ally Bank PDFs
- CDs and IRAs are quarterly
- Ally's checking, savings and money market accounts get monthly statements, but CDs and IRAs get quarterly ones. If you convert a year of CD activity, expect four PDFs, not twelve.
- Credits and debits are separate columns
- Ally statements usually put deposits and withdrawals in separate columns with no minus signs. Keep them apart, or build one signed amount (credits minus debits) before importing.
- Closed accounts lose transaction history first
- After an account closes, Ally keeps account details online for only a short time, but statements and tax forms stay available for 7 years. For a closed account, the PDF statements are usually the only source.
Ally Bank is online-only, so every statement comes from ally.com or the Ally app. Ally’s statements are clean, text-based PDFs, so they convert well.
How to download Ally Bank transactions as CSV
Use Ally’s own download for recent transactions, and convert the PDF statements for older periods.
- Recent history: on ally.com on a computer, open the account, scroll to the transaction history and select the download icon. Choose CSV for a spreadsheet or QFX for Quicken.
- Older periods: save each PDF statement, upload them to BankConv (up to 10 at a time), check the rows and export CSV or Excel.
The PDF route also suits lenders, since it shows the opening and closing balance.
What to check after converting
Check three things before you import.
- Totals: add up Credits and Debits and compare them with the statement summary.
- Balance: the last balance should match the ending balance on the PDF.
- Transfers: moves between your own Ally accounts appear on both statements; remove one side if you combine accounts.
For QuickBooks, see importing into QuickBooks. If your software wants OFX, download OFX from BankConv instead of CSV. More banks are in the US bank guides.
