What bunq actually lets you export
bunq doesn't split "monthly statement" and "activity download" the way a traditional bank does. A single screen, Export Statement, produces the document for whichever account and date range you pick. All you choose is the output format — PDF for proof of payment, CSV for analysis, MT940 for accounting software.
One thing to know before you start: bunq won't generate a statement while your account is unverified. If the option looks inactive, identity verification is usually the reason.
Export from the bunq app
- Open the app and tap your profile in the top-left corner.
- Select Accounting.
- Choose Export Statement.
- Enter the bank account and the time period you want, then pick the format: PDF, CSV or MT940.
- Tap Export Statement to generate the file.
There's a second route to the same result if you'd rather start from the account itself: from Home, select the bank account, open Settings, then Export statement. The options are identical.
Export from bunq Web
- Sign in at web.bunq.com.
- Click the bank account you want to export.
- Open its Settings, then Export statement.
- Select the date range and the format, then confirm.
This is the easier path when the file needs to end up on a computer — it downloads straight to your machine instead of going through a share sheet on your phone.
Which format to pick
For spending analysis, take the CSV: it's the only one of the three that gives you one row per transaction, ready for a spreadsheet or an analysis tool. MT940 targets accounting software, and PDF is the format to keep for proof — still required for a rental file or a loan application, but far harder to work with.
If you reconcile your accounts every month, bunq also offers AutoExport: on the 1st of each month it emails a zip file with the statements of your selected accounts covering the previous month.
Juggling several European accounts? The process is close to what you'll find at N26 and Wise, with the same format trade-offs.
Once your bunq export is downloaded, the real work is reading it: recurring charges you've forgotten — dormant subscriptions, duplicate services, quiet price increases — stand out in seconds instead of hiding in hundreds of rows.
