ING 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 ING Direkt-Depot has no CSV export — the transaction export in ING web banking covers accounts, not securities. The route that actually works: the Wertpapierabrechnung PDFs from the Post-Box. Every order generates one, and those documents are exactly what portfolio tools — Acutic included — read directly. This guide walks the Post-Box route step by step and documents which fields of a confirmation an import actually uses.
What ING exports — and what it does not
This table saves the searching. There are three kinds of data with three entirely different answers — and only one of them leads to importable depot data:
| Data | Format | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Account transactions (current account, Extra-Konto) | CSV / Excel | Desktop web banking only — does not cover securities |
| Depot holdings (positions) | No export | Neither CSV nor Excel; view-only in the banking UI |
| Wertpapierabrechnung (trade confirmations) | PDF (Post-Box) | One document per order — the route that works for tools |
| Ertragsabrechnung (distribution statements) | PDF (Post-Box) | Distributions; not required for a positions import |

Step by step: downloading confirmations from the Post-Box
- Log in to web banking — on the desktop. The app shows the Post-Box too, but downloading several documents is far more practical in the browser.
- Open the Post-Box — the envelope icon in the navigation. Every document ING generates lands here: account statements, messages, and the Wertpapierabrechnung documents.
- Filter — the search narrows by depot, period and document type. For a depot import, the relevant type is "Abrechnung Kauf" (purchase confirmation); disposal confirmations and distribution statements are covered in the FAQ.
- Download the PDFs — one file per confirmation. For a longer history, set the period filter and grab the selection in one pass.
The Post-Box shows roughly the last three years directly; older documents live in the archive. Depot-related documents remain available for up to ten years unless manually deleted — so for a complete 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 an ING 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: ING documents are identified by their letterhead, 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 ING confirmation to try before uploading real documents.
Limits and pitfalls
- No depot CSV: the CSV export in web 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 Post-Box period filter and multi-file upload keep the effort small.
- Text layer required: the originals from the Post-Box contain selectable text and work directly. Scanned or re-saved image copies lose that text layer and cannot be parsed.
- Mind the archive: documents older than roughly three years sit in the Post-Box archive and do not appear in the default view.
Frequently asked questions
Can I export my ING Depot as a CSV file?
No. The CSV export in ING web banking covers account transactions (current account, Extra-Konto), not the Direkt-Depot. For securities, ING issues Wertpapierabrechnung PDFs in the Post-Box — that is the route portfolio tools read.
Which ING documents work for an import?
The Wertpapierabrechnung PDFs from the Post-Box: an "Abrechnung Kauf" (purchase confirmation) opens a position on import. Disposal confirmations and dividend statements contain no new positions and are shown accordingly or simply not needed.
How far back does the Post-Box go?
The Post-Box shows roughly the last three years directly; older documents live in the Post-Box archive. Depot-related documents remain retrievable for up to ten years unless deleted.
Does the export work in the ING app?
The Post-Box is reachable in the app too, but batch-downloading several documents is far more practical in desktop web banking. CSV exports (account transactions only) exist only in the desktop version.
