Does the Discover statement have to be a downloaded PDF, or can I use a scan or photo?

Both work. A statement downloaded from Discover 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 Discover statement uploaded anywhere?

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 QuickBooks (QBO) file contain?

An OFX/QBO credit-card file with a stable ID per transaction, which QuickBooks imports as a credit-card account.

How many statements are free?

Three a month, with every export format. Pro removes the limit.

Statement format

Discover statements download as text PDFs that parse directly; a scan or photo works too via on-device OCR.

Good to know

The Discover mobile app shows only the last 20 posted transactions, while Discover.com keeps up to 24 months of activity and seven years of statements — download the full PDF from the website for a complete month.

Also exports

CSV, Excel

Getting your Discover credit card statement

Sign in to Discover.com or the Discover app, open Statements in the Account Center, and download the statement as PDF. It downloads as a text PDF that LedgerClip reads directly, and a scan or photo works too. See Discover's official statement help.

What you get

Each transaction becomes one row with the posting date, the description exactly as Discover printed it, the amount with the right sign, and the running balance. The opening and closing balances are checked against the total so an incomplete extraction is caught before import. On a credit card, purchases come out as negative amounts (money spent) and payments or credits as positive, and the QBO export is written as a credit-card account so QuickBooks files it correctly.

Other formats

Also available for Discover: CSV, Excel.
