What You'll Need
Before downloading your statement, make sure you have:
- An active SBI Internet Banking account
- Your username and password
- Access to your registered mobile number (if OTP verification is required)
Method 1: Download SBI Statement CSV via Internet Banking
Step 1: Log in to SBI Internet Banking
Visit the official SBI Internet Banking website and log in using your credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to Account Statements
From the dashboard, navigate to:
Accounts → Account Statement
Select the account for which you want to download the statement.
Step 3: Select the Date Range

If you're analysing monthly spending, downloading one month's transactions usually provides the clearest insights.
Step 4: Choose CSV Format
When prompted for the download format, select:
CSV (Comma Separated Values)
If CSV isn't available for your account, download the statement in Excel format if offered. Otherwise, you'll receive a PDF statement.
Step 5: Download the File
Click Download.
The CSV file will be saved to your computer.
Can You Download SBI Statement as PDF?
Yes.
SBI allows downloading statements as PDF for most accounts.
If your goal is expense analysis, budgeting or importing transactions into financial software, CSV is generally more convenient because every transaction is stored in rows and columns.
Why Use CSV Instead of PDF?
CSV files are easier to analyse because they can be:
- Imported into Excel
- Opened in Google Sheets
- Categorised automatically
- Used for spending analysis
- Imported into personal finance tools
Analyse Your SBI Statement Automatically
Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of transactions, you can upload your SBI CSV into Finnsnap and automatically:
- Categorise expenses
- Track monthly spending
- Identify recurring subscriptions
- View spending trends
- Analyse income vs expenses
- Create personalised spending reports
