How to export your DEGIRO account statement.
One file holds your whole DEGIRO history: every buy and sell, dividend, deposit, withdrawal, fee and currency conversion. This guide shows where to find it, which date range to choose, and what each kind of row in it means, so you can check the file before you hand it to any portfolio tracker.
The short version
On the DEGIRO website, open Inbox in the left-hand menu and choose Account statement. Set the start date to the day you opened the account and the end date to today. The page shows one month by default. Click Export and choose CSV or Excel. The file downloads as Account.csv or Account.xlsx.
Which export you need
DEGIRO offers several downloads, and they are easy to confuse. Only one of them describes your money as well as your trades.
| Export | What it contains | Use it for a full history? |
|---|---|---|
| Account statement | Every cash movement on the account, including the cash side of each trade, dividends, withholding tax, deposits, withdrawals, fees, interest and currency conversions. | Yes. This is the one. |
| Transactions | Buys and sells only: quantity, price, venue and transaction costs. | No. Without deposits, withdrawals and dividends, returns cannot be separated from the money you added. |
| Portfolio | Your positions on a single date. | No. A snapshot, not a history. |
| Annual report | A yearly PDF summary for tax purposes. | No. A PDF, and one year at a time. |
The reason the Account statement matters: a return is the change in value that you did not pay for. To measure it, a tracker has to know when money went in and out. The Transactions export shows what you bought, but not where the money came from, so a deposit and a gain look the same.
Step by step
- Log in on a computer. The DEGIRO app also has an export (the downward-arrow icon), but the website makes the date range much easier to set.
- Open Inbox. It is in the left-hand menu. Inside it you will see Account statement, Transactions and Reports.
- Choose Account statement. DEGIRO describes it as transactions, fees, dividends and deposits.
- Set the start date to the day you opened your account, or any earlier date, and the end date to today.
- Click Export, top right, and choose CSV or Excel. PDF is for reading, not for importing.
- Keep the file as it downloaded. Do not open and re-save it in a spreadsheet first (see CSV or Excel).
DEGIRO names the menu items in the language your account uses, so on a Dutch or German account the labels differ. The position of the Inbox and the Export button does not. These steps were checked against DEGIRO's web platform in September 2026; DEGIRO can change its interface without notice.
Pick the whole history, not the default
The Account statement opens on the last month. Export it as it stands and you get a file that looks right, with the correct columns and recent trades, and holds four weeks of a history that may span years. This is the most common reason an imported DEGIRO portfolio looks wrong.
Start from the very beginning even if you only care about recent performance. A tracker builds your positions by replaying the file from its first row: a share bought before the start date has no purchase in the file, so its cost, and every return that depends on it, is missing. The same goes for cash. The first deposit is what every later return is measured against.
If you have more than one DEGIRO account, for example a personal one and one for a child, each one has its own statement. Export them separately and keep them apart.
CSV or Excel?
Either works. What matters is that you upload the file exactly as DEGIRO produced it.
DEGIRO writes numbers the continental European way, with a comma before the decimals (384,2783), and dates as day-month-year (26-11-2025). Open the CSV in a spreadsheet and save it again, and the spreadsheet may quietly turn 1,5 shares into 15, or swap day and month on every date before the 13th. The file still opens and still looks plausible. The numbers are wrong.
The Excel download avoids the separator question entirely, so it is the safer choice if you like to open the file and look at it first. If you do open either one, close it without saving.
What is inside the file
Each row has a date, a time, a product and ISIN where one applies, a free-text Description, the amount of the change and the running cash balance. The description is what says what happened. It is written in your account's language; the examples below are the Dutch and English forms.
| Description looks like | What it is | Is it money in or out of the account? |
|---|---|---|
Koop 10 @ 25,5 USD / Buy … | A purchase: quantity and price in the description. | No. Cash became shares. |
Verkoop … / Sell … | A sale. | No. Shares became cash. |
Dividend | A dividend paid. | No. It is part of your return. |
Dividendbelasting | Tax withheld on that dividend. | No. It reduces the return. |
iDEAL storting, iDEAL Deposit, Reservation iDEAL | Money you paid in from your bank. | Yes, in. |
Terugstorting, Processed Flatex Withdrawal | Money you took out. | Yes, out. |
DEGIRO Transactiekosten, Aansluitingskosten | Transaction costs and the yearly exchange connection fee. | No. A cost that reduces the return. |
Valuta Creditering / Valuta Debitering | The two halves of a currency conversion, for example EUR to USD before buying a US share. | No. Money changed currency, it did not arrive. |
Overboeking naar/van uw geldrekening bij flatexDEGIRO Bank, Degiro Cash Sweep Transfer | Cash moving between your DEGIRO account and the linked flatexDEGIRO cash account. They usually come in pairs. | No. An internal move, even though the word overboeking means “transfer”. |
Flatex Interest | Interest charged or paid on cash. | No. Part of the return. |
The last column is where trackers most often go wrong. A currency conversion shows up as one credit and one debit, and a cash sweep as a transfer out and a transfer back. Count either as a deposit, and every return that divides by the money you added gets smaller than it really is. Money-market fund conversions, which on some accounts appear as a “sale” of fund units, are the same kind of trap: the row reads like a trade but is only cash being parked.
Common problems
The file only covers the last few weeks
The date range was left on the default. Export again from the day the account opened.
Quantities or prices are ten or a thousand times too big
The CSV was opened and re-saved by a spreadsheet that read the decimal commas as thousands separators. Download it again and upload the original.
Some positions show no purchase, or a negative quantity
The export starts after those shares were bought. Widen the date range.
Deposits look far larger than what you actually paid in
Currency conversions or cash sweeps have been counted as deposits. Check how your tracker classifies Valuta Creditering, Overboeking and Cash Sweep rows.
Keeping it up to date
Only the first upload needs your whole history. After that, export just the recent part: set the start date to the day your last export ended, the end date to today, and upload that file. Parallax supports incremental uploads, so it picks up from the history it already holds and adds only what is new.
The one rule is no gaps. The new export has to start on or before the end date of the previous one. Rows Parallax already holds are ignored, so an overlap of a few days is harmless, and so is exporting in the middle of a day you trade on: the next upload adds that day's later trades. But a trade that falls between two exports is missing from both. When in doubt, start a week earlier.
Using the file in Parallax
Parallax reads the DEGIRO Account statement in CSV and Excel form, with column headings in English or Dutch; other languages are not supported yet. It treats currency conversions and cash sweeps as internal movements rather than deposits, does not read money-market fund conversions as trades, and takes deposits, withdrawals, dividends, withholding tax and fees from the descriptions in the table above. Upload your full history once; after that, each new export only needs to cover the period since the last one (see keeping it up to date).
Create an account for your DEGIRO portfolio, upload the file, and review the preview before anything is saved. Parallax then rebuilds the history into snapshots and shows whether each move beat keeping what you had. The details, and what the import cannot see, are on the coverage page; how moves and returns are measured is on the methodology page.
