DKB Depot export: what actually works in 2026
No CSV for the depot — but a route that works reliably. Here it is.
Last updated: 14 August 2026 · By The Acutic Research Team
The DKB Depot has no CSV export for securities — the CSV export in DKB banking covers account transactions, not the Depot. The route that actually works: the Wertpapierabrechnung PDFs from the Postfach (the document mailbox in DKB banking). Every order generates one, and those documents are exactly what portfolio tools — Acutic included — read directly. This guide walks the Postfach route step by step and documents which fields of a confirmation an import actually uses.
What DKB exports — and what it does not
This table saves the searching. There are several kinds of data with entirely different answers — and only one of them leads to importable depot data:
| Data | Format | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Account transactions (e.g. current account) | CSV | Export in the transaction view of web banking — does not cover securities |
| Depot holdings (positions) | No export | Neither CSV nor Excel; view-only in the banking UI |
| Wertpapierabrechnung (trade confirmations) | PDF (Postfach) | One document per order — the route that works for tools |
| Dividend and distribution statements | PDF (Postfach) | Distributions; not required for a positions import |
Sources: the DKB help pages on the Postfach ("Wo finde ich meine Kontoauszüge und Abrechnungen?"); depotstudent.de on the CSV scope of DKB banking (account data only); the Parqet DKB blog on PDF import (one PDF per order in the Postfach). All retrieved August 2026.
Step by step: downloading confirmations from the Postfach
- Log in to DKB banking — the app and web banking both reach the Postfach. For downloading several documents, the desktop browser is far more practical.
- Open the Postfach — in the app under "Profil > Postfach", in web banking via the envelope icon next to the profile at the top right. Everything DKB generates lands here: account statements, credit-card statements, the Wertpapierabrechnung documents and tax certificates.
- Find the securities documents — the Postfach narrows down by document kind and period; the exact grouping changed with the Postfach reorganisation in early 2025. For a depot import, the relevant documents are the Kaufabrechnung (acquisition) confirmations; disposal and dividend confirmations are covered in the FAQ.
- Download the PDFs — one file per confirmation, available right after execution. For a longer history, set the period filter and grab the selection in one pass.
Most documents stay in the Postfach for up to ten years; the exact deletion date is shown in the three-dot menu on each document. Documents from before the early-2025 Postfach reorganisation live under "Archivierte Dokumente" — with no time limit there. Already-deleted confirmations only exist as a paid replacement copy — so for a complete depot history, save them early.
What a Wertpapierabrechnung contains
The Wertpapierabrechnung is the execution document German brokers are required to issue — which is why its content is reliable and stable across years. The table shows the fields of a DKB confirmation and marks which of them the Acutic import actually reads. This mapping is documented straight from the parser — not guessed from samples:
| Abrechnung field | Content | Read by the import? |
|---|---|---|
| Wertpapierbezeichnung / Gattung | instrument name | Yes — used for ticker resolution |
| ISIN | 12-character identifier | Yes — primary matching key |
| WKN | 6-character German identifier | Yes — supplementary |
| Stück / Nominale | number of units | Yes — becomes the position size |
| Ausführungskurs / Kurs | price per unit | Yes — becomes the cost basis |
| Ausführungstag / Schlusstag / Valuta | execution date | Yes — becomes the opening date |
| Currency (EUR, USD, GBP, CHF) | from the price line | Yes — defaults to EUR |
| Ausmachender Betrag | total order amount | Yes — used as a plausibility check |
| Fee and tax lines | charges, KESt | No — not needed for positions |
Importing into Acutic
- Open Import in the Acutic dashboard and drag the PDF files into the dropzone — several at once is fine.
- Recognition is automatic: DKB documents are identified by their letterhead ("Deutsche Kreditbank"), no format selection needed. If one document carries several executions (a combined confirmation), each execution is processed individually.
- The preview shows every recognised position with unit count, cost basis and date. ISIN and instrument name are resolved to the matching ticker automatically. Disposal confirmations appear as non-importable rows with a stated reason — the import builds holdings from acquisition confirmations.
- Confirm — done. The import page also offers a sample DKB confirmation to try before uploading real documents.
Limits and pitfalls
- No depot CSV: the CSV export in DKB banking covers account transactions. If you are looking for it on the depot side, it is not a hidden setting — it simply does not exist.
- One document per order: a long depot history means many PDFs. The Postfach period filter and multi-file upload keep the effort small.
- Text layer required: the originals from the Postfach contain selectable text and work directly. Scanned or re-saved image copies lose that text layer and cannot be parsed.
- Mind the early-2025 reorganisation: older documents sit under "Archivierte Dokumente" since the Postfach reorganisation and do not appear in the default view. Most documents are also deleted after up to ten years — the deletion date sits in the three-dot menu.
Frequently asked questions
Can I export my DKB Depot as a CSV file?
No. The CSV export in DKB banking covers account transactions (e.g. the current account), not the Depot. For securities, DKB issues Wertpapierabrechnung PDFs in the Postfach — that is the route portfolio tools read.
Where do I find the Wertpapierabrechnung documents in DKB banking?
In the Postfach: in the DKB app under "Profil > Postfach", in web banking via the envelope icon next to the profile at the top right. Every executed order produces its own PDF, available right after execution.
How long do documents stay in the DKB Postfach?
Most documents remain available for up to ten years; the exact deletion date is shown in the three-dot menu on each document. Documents from before the early-2025 Postfach reorganisation live under "Archivierte Dokumente" — with no time limit there.
Does the route work in the DKB app?
Yes. The Postfach is fully reachable in the app under "Profil > Postfach". For downloading many documents at once, desktop web banking is the more practical surface.
