Does Rowvert work with scanned American Express statements?
Yes. Scanned or photographed statements go through OCR automatically. Rows read from an image are marked so you can double-check them.
Is my American Express statement stored?
The PDF is processed in memory and never kept. Only the extracted spreadsheet is stored, for your plan's retention window, then deleted.
Which date format will the Excel file use?
American Express statements usually show dates as DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY; Rowvert converts them to real Excel dates (ISO yyyy-mm-dd) so they sort and filter correctly.
Can I import the result into QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes — download the QuickBooks or Xero CSV and use their bank statement import.
