How do I convert a Citi statement to Wave?

  1. Download the Citi statement PDF. Go to Statements & Documents, pick the account and statement date, then Download as PDF.
  2. Convert it on your device. Drop the PDF into the converter on this page. LedgerClip rebuilds the transactions in your browser — nothing is uploaded — checks the totals reconcile, then lets you save a Wave-ready CSV.

How do I import the Wave file into Wave?

  1. In Wave, open Accounting then Transactions.
  2. Click Upload a bank statement and select the CSV.
  3. Review the imported rows and categorise them into your chart of accounts.

Wave accepts a CSV with date, description and amount columns; because LedgerClip already signs the amount, Wave books each row as the correct debit or credit instead of asking you to fix the direction.

What's in the Wave file?

Each transaction becomes one row with the posting date, the description exactly as Citi printed it, the amount with the right sign, and the running balance when the statement prints one. The opening and closing balances are checked against the total, so an incomplete extraction is caught before you import.

Is my Citi statement uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is opened by code running in your browser and never leaves your device — the byte counter on the converter above stays at zero the whole time. There is no account and no sign-up to convert.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Citi statement have to be a downloaded PDF, or can I use a scan or photo?
Both work. A statement downloaded from Citi online banking is read from its text and is the most reliable. A scan or a phone photo is read on your device with OCR and checked so the totals reconcile.
Is my Citi statement uploaded?
No. The file is opened by code running in your browser and never transmitted. The byte counter on the page shows zero throughout.
What does the Wave file contain?
Date, description, signed amount (deposits positive, withdrawals negative) and the running balance when the statement prints one.
How many statements are free?
Three a month, with every export format. Pro removes the limit.
