How to download your Wells Fargo statement as a PDF
Sign in to Wells Fargo Online and go to "Statements & documents", then select the account and the time period you need. Statements open as PDFs you can download. In the Wells Fargo app, open the account and look for its statements and documents.
Can Wells Fargo export Excel or CSV directly?
In Wells Fargo Online, "Download Account Activity" is under the Accounts tab. Wells Fargo's help lists a "Comma Delimited (ASCII, Spreadsheet)" option and Quicken Web Connect, and its business pages describe a "QuickBooks (Web Connect)" option. The download covers the last 90 days by default, and for certain accounts up to 18 months if you choose the time frame. Each account downloads as a separate file. Statements go back much further, up to 7 years for deposit accounts, so use the PDF for older months or when you need the official balances the converter checks against.
What a Wells Fargo statement looks like
Wells Fargo's deposit account agreement says checking accounts get a monthly statement, while savings accounts generally get a quarterly one unless they have automatic transfers in, electronic transfer activity, or share a combined statement with checking. Its fee schedule says what your statement covers doesn't always match a calendar month, and the help center points to a "Monthly Service Fee Summary" section on checking statements. Prime Checking and Premier Checking statements have no fee summary; they show linked accounts in detail or in summary. Statements list posted transactions only, not pending ones, and include check images only if you enroll in the check image service.
Tips for converting Wells Fargo statements
How far back you can go depends on the account. Wells Fargo lists 7 years for deposit accounts, 2 years for credit cards and personal loans or lines, and 12 months for auto loans. Personal and business account statements are both in the same place and convert the same way.
