Why Formats Differ
Amex and Visa look similar, but the structure differs. Understanding this difference matters because conversion tools are bank-specific. Our free converter Amex for optimized hai.Side-by-Side Comparison

|---|---|---|
| Issuer model | Amex khud (charge + credit) | Bank ke through (HDFC, ICICI, Chase etc.) |

Reading Differences
- Amex: payments + refunds in a separate section = all Credits. Visa: one list of transactions with payments as negative amounts. Amex charge card: full balance due by the due date (no fixed limit). Visa credit card: a defined credit limit
Converting Both to Excel
- Amex PDF → our free converter (Amex-specific parsers). Visa PDF → try the generic parser (the tool has a fallback parser) or your bank's CSV. Both outputs share the same format — Date, Description, Debit, Credit — combine them for analysis
Which Statement Is Harder to Convert?
Amex — because payments/credits are in a separate section and amounts often appear without a $ sign. That's why an Amex-specific converter (like ours) adds value.Convert your statement — free!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this tool convert Visa statements too?
A: The tool is optimized for Amex, but the generic fallback parser also tries Visa/Mastercard statements. Upload karke dekh lo — free hai.
Q: Why does my Amex statement show payments separately?
A: A separate payments/credits section is standard on Amex charge cards — so credits come in their own column after conversion.
