What to expect

Formats Discover offers
CSV or Excel spreadsheet, and PDF statements
How far back
Discover does not publish a single figure for how far back a download reaches, and reports vary by account. For older months, use your PDF statements.
When you upload it to insytesBI
Discover files have a Trans. Date and a Post Date, and show purchases as positive amounts. insytesBI uses the transaction date and flips the card signs, so purchases count as money out.

Frequently asked questions

Which file format should I choose in Discover?

Choose CSV. Discover offers CSV or Excel spreadsheet, and PDF statements. A CSV opens in Excel and Google Sheets and is the safest choice for insytesBI; a QFX or OFX file also works in the bank statement tools.

How far back can I download Discover transactions?

Discover does not publish a single figure for how far back a download reaches, and reports vary by account. For older months, use your PDF statements.

Can I upload a Discover PDF statement instead?

Yes. A PDF statement downloaded from online banking is read directly by the bank statement analyzer and converter. Scanned paper statements cannot be read, because they are a picture rather than text; for those, download the CSV.

Does insytesBI need my bank login?

No. You only upload the file you exported. insytesBI never asks for your bank password or a one-time code, and no website should.
