Up Bank: monthly statements or an Insights CSV?
Updated · 2 min read
The desktop apps export date, description, and amount as CSV. Open CSV in Excel to save an XLSX workbook. Statement support varies: verify the result against your own PDF.
Find the issued record first
The support FAQ puts current and previous monthly statements, plus proof of balance, in Up → Statements. Statements are paperless. The interest-summary statement appears on 5 July for the new financial year; it is a separate annual record, rather than a replacement for each month's statement.
Select the Insights period before exporting
The published CSV guide describes Activity feed → Insights, above the monthly header. Use Switch to check the period, scroll down and choose Export transactions.
Up's custom Insights explanation covers payday, week, year, financial-year and custom periods. Tags and exports follow that selected timeframe. Set the intended period before exporting; a monthly statement remains the document issued for its own period.
| Needed result or situation | Bank route or condition | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Statement or balance proof | Up tab → Statements | Statement or proof of balance |
| Custom transaction period | Activity → Insights → Switch | Then Export transactions |
| Interpret exported total | Subtotal + fees + Round Up | Account impact differs from spending |
Read Round Ups separately from merchant spending
Up's published CSV explanation distinguishes the transaction-currency subtotal, AUD fee, Round Up and Total. The total reflects the account movement, including a savings Round Up, rather than just the merchant subtotal. Treating it as merchant-only spending can therefore mix a purchase with movement into savings. Documented export fields.
The CSV article is an older published product guide, not a test of a current customer file. Check the actual column headings before building formulas around it. CSV means comma-separated values; the bank's native export may already meet your analysis need.
For Up, use Statements for the monthly document and Insights for a custom-period export; compare account-impact totals with the field definitions.
Use the record planner to record your chosen route and the outstanding document period.
