Trade Republic CSV Export: Export and Analyze Your Transactions

How to export your transactions from the Trade Republic app

The export runs entirely through the app. You don't need any extra tool, and you no longer need a PDF account statement for it.

These four steps were verified in the app in September 2026; Trade Republic can change the menu structure at any time.

1. Open the menu in the Trade Republic app and select "Account statements".
2. Tap "Transaction export" and choose the period. For the full history, pick "since account opening".
3. Confirm the export and save the finished CSV using the share function, for example by emailing it to yourself.
4. Use the CSV as is. Opening and re-saving it in Excel first risks changing date or number formats.

What's inside the CSV file

Trade Republic delivers the full history in a single file, so a separate PDF account statement is no longer needed. The export is recognized by its fixed set of columns.

• Date: when the entry was booked
• Account type: for example the cash account or the securities account
• Category: a rough grouping of the row, such as trading or cash movement
• Type: the specific transaction type, such as buy, sell, or dividend
• Asset class: share, ETF, crypto, and so on

Common pitfalls when exporting

The most common source of errors isn't the export itself, it's how the file gets handled afterward.

• Excel likes to change date and number formats when you open and save a file. Keep the CSV as unmodified as possible.
• For a complete analysis, always choose the period "since account opening", otherwise older transactions will be missing.
• Free allocations like crypto staking rewards have a price in the CSV but no amount. Trade Checker recognizes this and uses the price as the cost basis.
• Subscription rights from corporate actions are booked as two rows: an allocation with no cash flow, followed later by a worthless expiry at 0. Trade Checker correctly sets the cost basis to 0 instead of showing a false loss.
• Off-exchange purchases and IPO subscriptions have an empty amount column, because the quantity and the payment sit on two separate rows. Trade Checker does not count this twice.

What you can analyze from the export

The raw data alone tells you very little. The real work starts once it's processed.

• Returns: the internal rate of return (IRR) accounts for the timing of deposits and withdrawals, while time-weighted return (TWR) removes them and can be compared to an index, such as an MSCI World ETF.
• Positions: open positions with current prices and foreign currency conversion at the relevant trading day, plus a performance breakdown into price gains, realized gains, dividends, fees, and taxes.
• Dividends: a payment calendar by year and instrument, plus a forecast for the rest of the year based on the payout rhythm so far.
• Taxes: the German split between the "Aktien-Topf" (a tax bucket for stock losses, offsettable only against stock gains) and the "Sonstiger Topf" (the general bucket for ETFs, funds, and bonds), each calculated from FIFO-realized results as a basis for reconciling with your annual German tax certificate.

How the import works in Trade Checker

Trade Checker is a free web app with no subscription, no investment advice, and no bank access. You simply upload your broker's CSV export.

The file is automatically recognized as a Trade Republic export, because Trade Checker can distinguish CSV exports from 18 providers. There's no need to map columns manually.

If a cost basis is missing in individual cases, for example after a securities transfer, the affected position appears on a to-do page. You enter the price once, and returns and tax figures are then correct.
