How to download your Discover statements
OFX / QFXOFX/QFX (recommended). PDF statements exist but Pare can't parse them.
Discover offers transaction downloads including a Quicken format. Use that rather than the statement PDF.
Steps
- 01Sign in at discover.com and open the account.
- 02Go to Statements / Activity and choose Download transactions.
- 03Pick Quicken (.qfx) rather than CSV or Excel.
- 04Drop the .qfx into Pare.
Worth knowing
Discover's downloads are organised per statement period, so grabbing a year means several files. Import them all — duplicates across overlapping files are handled.
What Pare does with it
Drop the file into Pare and it parses the transactions locally, categorises them, and builds spending trends, budgets and a cash-flow forecast. Uploaded PDFs are deleted the moment they're parsed, and Pare never asks for your bank login. You can also self-host it so the data never leaves your machine.
