Spanish bank statements to Excel

Spanish-language statements can follow either the comma-decimal or the point-decimal convention, because Spanish is written in Europe and across the Americas. The reader handles both without a setting. The file is read in your browser tab and every row is checked against the printed running balance. The Spanish-specific parts follow.

Spanish column headers the reader recognises

The statement-level labels Saldo anterior and Saldo final are recognised as the opening and closing balance. Matching ignores case, accents and punctuation, and the lists hold more words than shown. An unrecognised header can be assigned by hand in the column mapper.

A Spanish sample, row by row

The figures below are synthetic and use Spanish conventions for headers, dates and numbers. The opening label Saldo anterior is the statement's starting balance. The same table, saved as a CSV, is read by the real parser in our automated tests, so what follows is what the reader actually does with it.

• 02/01/2026 is read as 2 January 2026. 2.574,00 in the Abono column becomes +2,574.00, and the printed balance 3.657,40 is 3,657.40, which equals 1,083.40 plus 2,574.00.
• 15/01/2026 is read as 15 January 2026. 770,50 in the Cargo column becomes -770.50, and the printed balance 2.886,90 is 2,886.90.
• 20/01/2026 is read as 20 January 2026. 71,44 in the Cargo column becomes -71.44, and the printed balance 2.815,46 is 2,815.46.
• 28/01/2026 is read as 28 January 2026. 14,34 in the Abono column becomes +14.34, and the printed balance 2.829,80 is 2,829.80.

Opening 1,083.40, plus the four movements (net +1,746.40), gives 2,829.80, the last printed balance 2.829,80. Every row agrees with the running balance, so this statement is shown as Verified.

Money out and money in in Spanish statements

This sample uses two money columns, a layout found in many Spanish-language statements: Cargo holds money out and Abono holds money in, and each amount is printed without a sign because the column carries the direction. The reader takes the direction from the column and then checks it against the balance; if a column were swapped, the balance would not follow and the statement would not be marked Verified.

Spanish OCR at a glance

Dates in Spanish statements

Month names such as enero are read, and day-first numeric dates such as 15/01/2026 are accepted. The date order of a statement is decided from all its rows, which matters when one convention is mixed with another in a batch of files.

Examples that are read correctly: 15 enero 2026, 15/01/2026.

Numbers and signs

The two decimal conventions are told apart from the evidence in the document: an amount like 1.234,56 is unambiguous, while 1,234 on its own could be one thousand two hundred thirty-four or one point two three four. The decimal mark of the whole document is inferred from its unambiguous amounts, and only then is the ambiguous one resolved.

Examples that are read correctly: 1.234,56, 1,234.56, 1.234,56-. The running balance is the final judge of every sign.

Scanned Spanish statements and the OCR model

Spanish uses the Latin alphabet, so the bundled English OCR model reads digits and dates in a Spanish scan. With the OCR language set to English only, nothing is downloaded; in automatic mode (the default) a poor read can trigger up to three trial model downloads from the jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net), plus any language remembered from this session or detected earlier, and no statement content is ever sent. If your browser's language is Spanish, its model (spa) is the first one tried. Choosing Spanish by hand in the OCR language setting turns auto-detect off, and scans are then read with that model.

The file stays in your tab (every network use is listed here).

What is specific to Spanish

Cargo is read as money out and Abono as money in, and Importe as a single signed amount. Fecha valor is kept apart from the booking date.

Both Saldo anterior and Saldo final are recognised as statement-level balance lines, so the opening and closing figures the running-balance proof starts and ends from are taken from the document itself and not guessed.

Convert a Spanish statement

Add the file to Tallyscope (10 files at once are free), read each statement's status, fix flagged rows on the Review tab, then export: CSV is free for the first 25 rows; unlimited CSV and Excel, PDF, JSON, OFX, QuickBooks CSV, Xero CSV and a reconciliation report (PDF, plus an Excel sheet) come with the Day pass or Pro (pricing). Several Spanish and non-Spanish files can be merged into one table.

No accuracy percentage is claimed: layouts vary, and the arithmetic check says whether a given statement reconciled (how verification works).
