Question 2

How to Download the Bank Statements of Stripe for Your Accounting and Your Annual Report?

Accepted Answer

As you know, one of the essential requirements for accurately managing your accounting is to obtain access to complete bank statements of all the company's accounts, including payment gateways like Stripe.

We need two pieces of information:

The balance history, that contains all the transactions from a specific period. This statement must contain all the movements, not only the payments received but the withdrawal of funds after your bank account, possible refunds, etc.
The balance summary, with a starting and ending balance. This serves as a security check to make sure all the movements plus the starting balance equal the ending balance.

In this article, we will guide you through the steps you must follow to retrieve these documents.

Retrieving the balance history (transactions)

First, log into your Stripe account. In the menu on the left, choose “Balances” and then “All Activity” (this is important). Now click on the “Export” button on the top right.

Balances - All Activity

You will see a dialogue box. The date you choose depends on whether you need it for monthly accounting, to prepare your annual report, or for a specific period:

If it is for monthly accounting, in the appearing dialogue box, choose "UTC" as the time zone, "Last month," and "All columns." Click on the "Export" button. A CSV file will be downloaded.
