Truist statement to CSV

Getting the PDF out of Truist

1. In Truist One View, select Reporting & accounts from the navigation menu.
2. On the Account Summary screen, click the Statements tab and choose eStatements from the dropdown.
3. Pick the eStatement type you want.
4. Click Download in the Actions column beside the statement.

Those steps are for Truist One View, the platform for commercial, corporate and institutional accounts. Truist Online and Mobile Banking for Business, the small business service, lets you view, print and download your current statement and the history it holds, but Truist’s public help gives no menu path for it.

Truist keeps paperless statements for deposit accounts online for up to seven years, and Documents in Truist Online Banking shows how long each account’s statements are kept.

A photocopy of an earlier statement can be asked for on 844-4TRUIST (844-487-8478), at Truist’s standard fee.

What a Truist statement looks like, and what we do with it

Under "Your account statement" and its date, the product name in capitals heads an Account summary, and the transactions follow in up to three sections: Checks, then Other withdrawals, debits and service charges, then Deposits, credits and interest. Each section has its own DATE, DESCRIPTION or CHECK #, and AMOUNT($) headings and ends on a Total line, the sum after an equals sign. No amount carries a sign and no row a balance; rows are dated month and day, 01/13, oldest first, except the checks, which run in number order down three columns.

Each table’s headings, DATE, DESCRIPTION or CHECK #, and AMOUNT($), are letter-spaced, and on some statements the text inside the PDF breaks them mid-word, as "DESCRIPTIO N" and "AMOUN T($ )".

We read a heading with its letters closed up, so its columns are found either way.

Checks are set three to a line, each with its DATE, CHECK # and AMOUNT($), and an asterisk in front of a number marks a skip in the sequence, as the footnote under the list explains.

We read each check as its own transaction, dated by the day it was paid, with its number, asterisk included, as the description.

The Account summary runs from "Your previous balance as of" one date through Checks, "Other withdrawals, debits and service charges" and "Deposits, credits and interest" to "Your new balance as of" another, each figure after its sign: a minus for money out, a plus for money in, and an equals sign before the new balance.

We add the checks and the other withdrawals into one money-out figure, compare our money in and out with the summary, and check the rows carry the previous balance to the new one.

No statement period is printed, only the statement’s own date, "For" and the last day of the cycle, and the dates beside the previous and new balances, so a January statement’s previous balance is dated in December.

We give each row its year from those dates, so a January statement’s rows land in January of the new year, not the old one.

After the transactions, Truist’s disclosures page ends on a How to Reconcile Your Account worksheet, its blank columns headed Date/Check # and Amount like a table of transactions.

We read nothing from it.

What this page is based on

Six statements, no two from the same account: Business Value 500 Checking from two Chapter 11 debtors, one in 2022 and one in 2023; a Simple Business Checking month from 2025; a Community Checking month that a community group bound into its 2024 treasurer’s report; and Corporate Edge Checking and Analyzed Checking for one month of 2023, both from a single operating report. They held from three rows to over two hundred. Every one agreed with its Account summary on checks, other withdrawals and deposits, and its rows led from the previous balance to the new one. With no two months of one account among them, joining Truist months has not been tried.

Truist Dynamic Business Checking, the personal Truist One Checking and the Truist Business Cash Rewards card are among the statements we have never been given. Our samples don’t show whether they came from Truist One View or from online banking for business, so we can’t say the two print alike.

Once it is converted, the import steps for each accounting package are the same for every bank.
