Step 1 — Export from Charles Schwab

How to download a PDF statement from Charles Schwab.

  1. Sign in to Schwab

    Go to schwab.com and sign in with your credentials.

  2. Open Statements

    Find the Statements section under your account menu — searching "statements" in the site search jumps straight there.

  3. Choose the account and time frame

    Pick the Schwab Bank checking or brokerage account and the period you want.

  4. Download the PDF

    Save the monthly statement as a PDF. The Schwab mobile app has the same documents under Statements.

  5. Drop into Sortlumo

    Drag the PDF into the upload zone and get a categorized, filterable view.

NoteSchwab Bank checking statements are the ones worth converting for spending analysis. Brokerage statements parse too, but most of their content is positions rather than merchant transactions.

FAQ

Charles Schwab statement questions, answered.

Does this work for Schwab Bank Investor Checking?

Yes — that's the best fit. Investor Checking statements are ordinary text-based deposit statements, so every debit-card purchase and transfer categorizes cleanly.

Does Sortlumo analyze my Schwab investments?

No. It's a spending tool, not a portfolio tracker. It extracts cash and card activity and ignores holdings, cost basis, and performance.

Can I convert Schwab One brokerage statements?

They'll parse, but expect mostly trades and positions rather than merchant spending — there's less for the categorizer to work with.

Are ATM fee rebates picked up?

Yes. Schwab's ATM rebates appear as their own line items and are categorized under Fees, so you can see the offset against the fees themselves.
