How to download your Barclays statement as a PDF
In the Barclays app, tap "Help" or "More" on the home screen, then "Statements". Business customers can tap "Statements" on the home screen. In Online Banking, Barclays' help points to "Manage accounts" and then "Statements and documents" (an older help page describes "Online Statements" in the drop-down under your name). Save the statement with the PDF icon.
What a Barclays statement looks like
In our check, Barclays doesn't publish a sample current account statement, but its help explains the abbreviations used on its statements. BBP is a bill payment, BGC a bank giro credit, CRE a credit payment, DDR a Direct Debit and STO a standing order. REV is a reversal, where a standing order or Direct Debit has been recalled, REM is a cheque paid in somewhere other than your own branch or bank, and UNP means unpaid. DR marks a debit balance, meaning the account was overdrawn, so check that the minus sign carries into your spreadsheet. Barclays also notes that your IBAN is shown on the statement.
Tips for converting Barclays statements
Barclays says you can view Online Statements for up to 7 years while the account is open. Barclaycard credit cards are managed through Barclaycard's own app and website, and their PDF statements convert the same way.
