How to download your bank transactions as CSV in Canada
Then check them for subscriptions on your own device. Nothing is uploaded.
Scotiabank
Online banking (website). Scotiabank says the app doesn't offer it yet.Formats: Download availability documented; CSV format not confirmed by this page
- The official help page directs users to online banking and the account transaction history. It does not specify CSV: confirm the available file format before using this tool.
Wealthsimple (credit card)
Web browser only (not the app)Formats: CSV
- Log in to your Wealthsimple profile in a web browser and select your credit card account.
- Scroll to Activity, select Download activities, choose the account and follow the prompts to download the CSV file.
Other banks
- Use your bank's own website or app, never a link from an unexpected message. Many banks only offer downloads on the website, not in the app.
- Open the account, find your list of transactions, and look for Download, Export or a download icon. Choose CSV. If you only see Excel, export to Excel, then save it as CSV.
- Download one account or card at a time. Subscriptions often sit on a credit card.
- Pick at least 6 months, or 12 if you can. Monthly patterns need three payments; yearly ones need more history, so a short export can't rule them out.
- Keep the file private. Checking it here doesn't upload it, but the downloaded file itself isn't encrypted.
The RBC and TD help pages we checked only cover PDF statements. If you can only get PDFs, check the website version of online banking for a download option, or add your subscriptions by hand in My reminders.
