CEP

(CEP stands for Caisse d'Epargne Parser)

CEP aims at parsing PDF statements from the Caisse d'Épargne (a french banking group) and gathering extracted operations into a CSV file.

What you'll get at the end is a 6 columns CSV file:

• date of the operation
• account number concerned by the operation
• operation type:
  • BANK: bank fees, international operation fees, etc.
  • DEPOSIT: cash deposits on the account
  • WIRETRANSFER: incoming / outcoming wiretransfers
  • CHECK: check deposits / payments
  • CARDDEBIT: payments made via debit card
  • WITHDRAWAL: withdrawals
  • DIRECTDEBIT: direct debits
  • OTHER: other kind op operation
• operation description
• credit amount (if credit)
• debit amount (if debit)

As a fork from Adrien's original work (here), my version brings some improvements and evolutions:

• better operation parsing (originally, CEP was sometimes detecting operations that were not operations!)
• operation type detection (the in place detection wasn't working at all 🤷‍♂️)
• inconsistency checks (hence, CEP verifies that all operations are correctly parsed)
• capacity to handle operations with amount up to 999,999.99€
• proper CSV writing

How to install CEP?

Prior to using CEP, you'll need some librairies (pdfminer.six and regex) installed in your virtualenv:

cd cep
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python .
source bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

How to use CEP?

From your virtualenv:

python3 cep.py folder_containing_your_statements/

Compatibility

As far as I tested, CEP works on PDF statements officially emitted by the Caisse d'Épargne, between years 2014 and 2019. Feel free to fill an issue in if CEP doesn't work as intended!

Warning

The operation amounts are saved as they are found in the statement. Thus, a decimal comma is used as a separator, instead of the dot decimal separator used in US, UK, etc.
