How do I import the Wave file into Wave?
- In Wave, open Accounting then Transactions.
- Click Upload a bank statement and select the CSV.
- 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo statement have to be a downloaded PDF, or can I use a scan or photo?
- Both work. A statement downloaded from Wells Fargo 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 Wells Fargo 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.
