How to Convert a Fifth Third PDF Statement to CSV or Excel

Fifth Third keeps two years of statements, and if you banked with Comerica before the September move, your statement history is worth checking.

If you banked with Comerica, read this part first

This is the most time-sensitive item on any of these bank pages, so it goes at the top.

Comerica accounts moved to Fifth Third on Tuesday 8 September 2026, after a transition weekend that ran from Friday 4 September. Fifth Third announced the technology and brand conversion complete the same day, covering around 600,000 customers.

The merger closed on 1 February 2026; 8 September changed the system the accounts live in. Customers were asked to log in to Fifth Third online banking and set up a new user ID and password.

Whenever accounts migrate between banking platforms, statement history is the thing most likely not to travel. Fifth Third has not said how many months of Comerica statements carried across for personal accounts, and for some business services (check adjustment reports and returned item statements) it has said the historical data did not migrate. So check what your Fifth Third login actually shows, keep any Comerica PDFs you saved before the move, and convert them so you hold the data independently of whichever system owns the account.

Quick answer: Fifth Third keeps 24 months of statements. Former Comerica customers, whose accounts moved on 8 September 2026, should check which statements came across, download what they can and convert it.

Twenty-four months, and a CSV button that may or may not exist

Fifth Third states that up to 24 months of account statements are accessible, and that customers can access the last 24 months of eStatements and check images at no charge. All accounts are eligible for eStatements with the exception of Fifth Third Securities brokerage accounts.

The export picture is murkier, and it has changed over time.

Today, Fifth Third's live FAQ documents only Quicken and QuickBooks connections, and names no file format at all. It is explicit on one point: it does not support Web Connect download for QuickBooks, though Direct Connect does provide statement transaction downloads.

In 2021, a Fifth Third help page described downloading account information for use with Quicken and QuickBooks, or alternatively to Microsoft Excel "by selecting the Download to CSV button", plus a .QIF export. That page is no longer live.

So Fifth Third did publish a CSV export once. Whether the button survives in current online banking, we cannot confirm, and neither can any page claiming to know. Check your own account.

One figure worth not repeating: a 2021 page put small business statement history at 6 months against 24 for personal. The 24 is corroborated by current pages; the 6 is not, and should not be presented as today's figure.

What comes out

Fifth Third publishes no sample statement or statement-reading guide — we enumerated every archived document on its own domain and found only legal statements of financial condition. So this page does not describe its column layout.

The converter returns a consistent shape regardless: one normalised sortable date column, descriptions rejoined, one correctly signed amount column, and the running balance kept separate.

Conversion costs 2 credits per transaction (minimum 10 per file) after the free first statement. If the next job is coding those rows rather than reconciling them, CodeIQ takes the same transactions, codes each line to your chart of accounts and posts them to QuickBooks or Xero. Automatic coding uses 4 credits a line; coding a line yourself is always free, and plan prices are in pounds sterling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far back do Fifth Third statements go?

Twenty-four months. Fifth Third states you can access up to 24 months of account statements, and separately that customers can access the last 24 months of eStatements and check images at no charge. Note the phrasing of their own FAQ: it asks how many calendar years are included and answers in months.

When did Comerica accounts move to Fifth Third?

They moved on Tuesday 8 September 2026, after a transition weekend that began on Friday 4 September, and Fifth Third announced the conversion complete that day. The merger itself closed on 1 February 2026. Fifth Third has not published how much Comerica statement history carried across for personal accounts, and for some business services it has said historical records did not migrate, so check what your Fifth Third login shows and keep your own copies of anything you need.

Can I export Fifth Third transactions to CSV?

Fifth Third's current pages document only Quicken and QuickBooks connections and name no file formats. Its older help site did describe a Download to CSV button and a QIF export, but that page is no longer live and we cannot confirm the option survives in current online banking. Check your own account rather than relying on either.

Does Fifth Third support QuickBooks Web Connect?

No. Fifth Third states plainly that it does not support Web Connect download for QuickBooks, but that Direct Connect provides statement transaction downloads along with more advanced features such as bill payment and transfer support. Checking, savings and credit accounts are covered, plus trust and investment management accounts excluding irrevocable trusts.

Is the converter free?

Your first statement of up to 10 pages converts free on a new account. After that it runs on credits, with the cost shown before anything is processed. Files are uploaded and processed on our servers rather than in your browser, which is what allows scanned and photographed statements to work as well as native PDFs.
