💳 Why American Express Statements Break Standard Converters

Credit card statements are fundamentally different from checking account statements. American Express statements have a unique layout that generic PDF-to-Excel converters simply cannot handle correctly.

What Makes American Express Statements Unique

Amex uses a two-column format with Charges on the left and Credits/Adjustments on the right. Cardmember names appear in a dedicated column for multi-card accounts.

The Core Problem

Generic converters merge charge and credit columns, losing the distinction. Reward points rows get mixed into transaction data.

❌ The Problem

Amex statements include multiple cardholder names, reward points columns, and separate sections for charges vs. credits that break standard converters

✅ How LedgPDF Fixes It

Our AI separates the dual-column layout into individual transaction rows with proper debit/credit classification. Cardmember names are appended to descriptions.
