Why BankTidy handles American Express Bank statements that other tools miss
American Express is primarily a global card issuer and payments company, and its statements are among the most common a bookkeeper handles for expense-heavy clients. In practice you are usually converting Amex charge and credit card statements, including business cards, where transaction volume can be high and formatting differs from a traditional bank statement. BankTidy reads the American Express PDF regardless of how the activity and fee sections are arranged, and it reconciles each extracted transaction against the printed closing balance, so the Excel, CSV, QuickBooks, or Xero export you build from it is already proven to capture the full period's charges and payments.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my American Express Bank statement?
Yes. You upload a statement you already have — there's no American Express Bank login and no account linking. Files are processed only to produce your CSV file and are not used to train anything; data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Does this work if my American Express Bank statement is scanned or a photo?
Yes. BankTidy reads the page directly rather than relying on a pre-built template, so scans and phone photos work — exactly where template-based converters tend to fail.
Will the CSV output balance?
Every conversion checks the opening balance plus all transactions against the printed closing balance. If it ties out you get a reconciled confirmation; if not, the likely rows are flagged.
How many American Express Bank statements can I convert?
Three per month free, no card. Just have one big job? A one-time $9 pack covers 50 pages with no subscription, and credits never expire. Monthly plans start at $15 for regular volume.
Do I have to subscribe?
No. If you only need one statement converted, the $9 pack is a one-time purchase — nothing renews, nothing recurs. Plans exist for people converting statements every month.
