How can I view and download my transaction history and balance statement?
Summary
This article explains how to export your transaction history and download your annual balance statement directly via the Bitvavo app.
Downloading your data
Whether for tax purposes or your own administration, you can download your full "transaction history" or your annual "balance statement" directly from your "account" in the Bitvavo app.
Follow these steps to download your files:
- In the app, tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Tap 'Annual overview'.
- Tap the overview you want to download to save the yearly overview to your device.
Understanding the files
Balance Statement (PDF) This document shows the combined GBP value of all crypto assets and GBP funds in your Bitvavo "account". It reflects the value at the start (1 January 00:00 GMT) and end (31 December 23:59 GMT) of the selected year. This document is often used for tax reporting.
Transaction History (CSV) This file contains raw data of your activity. You can import this .CSV file into spreadsheet programs like Excel or Google Sheets for personal analysis. If you need help importing the file, you can follow this guide.
Filtering your transaction history
If you only want to view specific data on the screen without downloading a file, you can use the filters at the top of the "transaction history" page.
- Asset filter: Select specific "digital assets" (e.g., Bitcoin) to see only transactions related to that coin.
- Type filter: Select specific transaction types, such as "Withdrawals" or "Trades," to narrow down your view.
FAQ
Is my transaction history permanently stored?
Yes, your "transaction history" is stored and accessible as long as you have access to your Bitvavo "account". However, if you decide to close your account, you will lose access to these documents. We strongly recommend downloading your history and balance statements before closing your account.
Can I delete my transaction history?
No, it is not possible to delete entries from your "transaction history". This record is required for financial administration and transparency. You can, however, use the filters mentioned above to hide certain transactions from your current view.
I cannot open the CSV file, what should I do?
CSV files are best viewed in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets. If the data looks like a jumble of text, ensure you use the "Import from Text/CSV" feature in your software and select "Comma" or "Semicolon" as the delimiter.
