Privacy first
Unlike other converters, PivotBank opens your American Express statement on your device. The file is never uploaded, and only the transaction lines can ever be sent, with your name, address, account number, IBAN and sort code stripped out first.
We never see your PDF. The only data we store is the extracted transactions of statements you explicitly choose to unlock and save to your account, which you can delete anytime.

American Express conversion questions
Does it work for Amex Business cards?
Yes. Business and Corporate Amex statements convert the same way, with each cardholder having their charges kept identifiable.
Can I get a spending breakdown by category?
Yes, PivotBank auto-categorises charges (travel, dining, software and so on) and the Excel export includes category totals.
Is my Amex statement uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened in your browser and never uploaded. Only the transaction lines are sent to be read, with your name, address and account number removed first.
How much does converting an American Express statement cost?
Every statement shows its first 5 rows free, with no sign-up, checked against the balance. A one-time $2.99 unlocks the full statement and every export, or Pro at $14/month covers unlimited statements.
