Why American Express Statements Are Hard to Convert

PDF Format Locks Data

Amex statements are PDFs with unstructured text, making copy-paste lose formatting and introduce errors.

Multiple Card Layouts

Cash Rewards, Travel Rewards, and Premium Rewards have different layouts. Manual extraction requires adjusting for each format.

Business Account Complexity

American Express Business statements include additional fields like employee card details and expense categories.

Limited Online History

Amex's website only shows 90 days of transactions. Older statements require PDF extraction for tax records.

Manual Errors Compound

Copying 50+ transactions by hand leads to 10-15% error rates from typos and misreads.

Time-Consuming Process

Manual entry takes 15-30 minutes per statement. Multiply that by multiple cards and months.

✨ Our Solution

Our AI automatically adapts to any American Express statement format—personal, business, or co-branded. Extract 100% of transactions in 2-5 seconds with 99% accuracy, regardless of card type.
