Convert Societe Generale Bank Statements to CSV

To convert a Societe Generale bank statement to CSV, upload your original PDF file to BankStmtConverter. The converter identifies transaction tables, reads the French date formatting and numerical values, and extracts dates, operation labels, debits, credits, and balances into a clean, comma-separated file ready for import into your accounting platform.

How to convert your Societe Generale statement to CSV

1. Upload your Societe Generale PDF statement (digital or scanned document).
2. The parser reads through each line item, standardizes dates, and separates debits from credits.
3. Review the live preview to verify that closing balances match the original statement summary.
4. Download your structured CSV file and import it directly into your bookkeeping software or spreadsheet.

Data extracted from Societe Generale PDF statements

Societe Generale statements (Relevé de compte) display several key fields that must be preserved with precision during conversion. Our engine extracts the following transaction details into structured CSV columns:

• Date de l'opération (Transaction Date): Preserved in standard DD/MM/YYYY or standardized ISO format.
• Date de valeur (Value Date): Extracted when present on commercial or corporate accounts.
• Libellé de l'opération (Description/Narration): Captures complete multi-line descriptions including SEPA transfer references, card payment locations, direct debits (Prélèvements SEPA), and fee descriptions.
• Débit (Debit / Outflow): Outgoing funds recorded as clean decimal numbers without currency symbols.
• Crédit (Credit / Inflow): Incoming transfers, deposits, and refunds.
• Solde (Running Balance): The progressive balance after each line item, used to mathematically verify line-by-line integrity.

Using your CSV file in accounting and ERP software

A plain CSV file gives you flexibility across French and international accounting ecosystems. Software like Pennylane, Cegid, Sage, QuickBooks, and Xero require specific column headers and standard decimal formats before they accept a manual bank statement upload.

Societe Generale PDFs often use French number formatting (spaces as thousand separators and commas as decimals, such as 1 450,50 €). BankStmtConverter standardizes these amounts into computer-readable numbers (such as 1450.50), preventing column-shifting errors during import.

Here is what your converted data looks like in table form before being formatted into raw CSV rows:

The resulting raw CSV file contains standard header rows such as Date,Description,Debit,Credit,Balance. You can open this directly in Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or upload it to your bookkeeping platform to automate bank reconciliation without manually retyping transactions.

If you prefer dedicated formats instead of manual CSV mapping, you can also convert your statements to Societe Generale Excel, Societe Generale QuickBooks (QBO), or Societe Generale OFX.

Comparing conversion methods for Societe Generale statements

Working with scanned or archive Societe Generale PDF statements

Older Societe Generale paper statements or scanned archive copies present specific conversion challenges. Scans often contain slanted text, background watermarks, or faint print. BankStmtConverter applies optical character recognition (OCR) specifically tuned for tabular financial documents.

Once OCR processes the image, the algorithm compares the sum of extracted debits and credits against the printed opening and closing balances on the statement (Ancien solde and Nouveau solde). If a digit is misread or a line item is missed, the validation check flags the discrepancy immediately so that you receive an accurate CSV output.
