Does the parser handle the separate Checks paid block?

Yes. Physical checks listed by number in the 'Checks paid' section are captured with the check number preserved in the Description field, merged with ATM / electronic transactions, and included in the running-balance reconciliation.

Will Wells Fargo Business Choice Checking statements convert?

Yes. Small-business checking PDFs use the same multi-section layout as personal accounts, so the fast-path extractor handles them identically — expect a 2-3 second conversion with a Verified badge at the end.

Can I batch convert Wells Fargo statements for the full year?

Drop up to 10 monthly PDFs in one go. Each runs through the queue with its own Verified / failed badge, and when everything finishes you get a single ZIP with twelve separate XLSX, CSV, or QBO files — one per month, ready for tax season.

What about Active Cash or Autograph credit-card PDFs?

Credit-card statements use a merchant-category layout instead of running-balance columns, so they go through the LLM path. Extraction is still reconciled against the printed new-balance figure — you see Verified only if the sum of charges and payments matches the statement-header math.

Are Zelle transfers preserved with the counterparty name?

Yes. Wells Fargo prints Zelle entries as 'Zelle to {name}' or 'Zelle from {name}' inside the Deposits or Withdrawals block, and the exporter passes those names through to the Description column verbatim. That keeps audit trails for divorce-disclosure work and forensic-tracing engagements legible without any manual relabeling step.

Can I convert a combined Wells Fargo checking + savings statement?

Yes. Combined PDFs that bundle Everyday Checking with Way2Save or Platinum Savings show each account in its own section under a single Account summary; the parser treats each section as its own running-balance stream and the XLSX export keeps them as separate sheets so per-account reconciliation stays clean.

Converting a Wells Fargo statement, step by step

1. Drop your Wells Fargo PDF — digital or scanned, monthly statement or a combined multi-month export, up to 50 MB (or batch up to 25 files). Password-protected PDFs and image-only scans both work: scans go through vision OCR automatically.
2. Parse & reconcile — every transaction is extracted and the sum is checked against ending balance minus beginning balance within $0.01.
3. Download XLSX, CSV, or QBO — one click each, or batch up to 10 statements and download them as a single ZIP.

Products we've parsed

Everyday Checking, Preferred Checking, Way2Save Savings, Platinum Savings, Active Cash / Autograph / Reflect cards, Business Choice Checking

Wells Fargo personal checking statements split activity into three signed blocks (Deposits, Withdrawals, and Checks paid) plus a service-fee summary. The parser reads each block, combines them into one date-sorted stream, and reconciles against the printed beginning/ending balances.

The Checks paid block lists each physical check by number rather than by description — we convert 'Check #1234' into a readable row and keep the check number in the Description column so your bookkeeping ledger matches the statement one-for-one. Wells Fargo has a dedicated fast-path extractor for this layout, so digital statements parse in a few seconds without touching the LLM.

Wells Fargo Zelle transactions appear inside the Deposits or Withdrawals block depending on direction, with the recipient or sender printed in the description as 'Zelle to {name}' or 'Zelle from {name}'. The exporter passes those names through verbatim so payment audits keep their counterparty references intact — no manual cleanup needed before reconciling against an attorney's discovery list or a 1099 cross-check.

Credit-card products (Active Cash, Autograph, Reflect) use a merchant-category layout that's different from the checking statement. Those flow through the LLM pass and are reconciled against the new-balance figure on the statement header. The exporter tags each row CREDIT or DEBIT so QuickBooks treats the card as a credit-card account, and the cycle-close date — not the calendar month — is used as the batch date so QBO imports without duplicate-detection conflicts.

Way2Save and Platinum Savings PDFs use a simplified two-block layout (Deposits and Withdrawals only — no Checks paid block, since savings accounts don't write physical checks) with the same Account summary header. Combined statements that bundle Everyday Checking + Way2Save Savings on one PDF show each account in its own section; the XLSX export keeps them as separate sheets so monthly reconciliation can be done per account without manual splitting.

Common issues with Wells Fargo PDFs

Format-specific quirks that break naive PDF parsers — and how the reconciliation pipeline handles each one.

Checks paid block sorted by check number, not date

Wells Fargo prints the Checks paid section ordered by check number rather than posting date — check #1234 appears before check #1235 even if #1235 cleared first. Manually appending this block to a chronological list breaks the running balance until you re-sort. The parser merges the Checks paid rows back into the date stream by their actual posting date and keeps the check number in the Description column so your bookkeeping ledger still matches the statement one-for-one.

Multi-step Zelle transactions count once, post twice

Wells Fargo occasionally prints Zelle transfers as a 'pending hold' line plus a separate 'posted' line on the next day, both with the same recipient and amount. Sum the column naively and you double-count every Zelle. The parser detects matched hold/posted pairs by recipient + amount + 1-2 day window and collapses them to a single row — the export shows the posted line only, with the hold timestamp preserved in a metadata column for audit work.

Service-fee summary block isn't included in the transaction blocks

The Monthly service fee summary at the bottom of every Wells Fargo PDF lists fees and waivers separately — they're not duplicated inside the Withdrawals block. Manual reconciliation that ignores the fee summary will end up off by the fee amount on any month where Wells Fargo waives or charges a fee. The parser extracts the fee summary as its own ledger entry, includes it in the running-balance check, and tags those rows in the export so you can audit fee-waiver eligibility separately.
