Bank File Import: Bring In Your Transactions from QFX, OFX, or CSV
One of the biggest hurdles to starting is entering history. The Bank File Import feature removes it — pull a file straight from your bank and bring your transactions in all at once.
Your bank already has the data
Almost every bank lets you export your transactions — usually under ‘Download’ or ‘Export’ — as a QFX, OFX, or CSV file. The app reads all three. Instead of typing a month of purchases by hand, you import them in a single step and pick up from there.
The fastest budget is the one you didn’t have to type. Import once and start living in the plan.
What happens after import
- Transactions land in your register, ready to review.
- AI auto-categorization sorts them into the right buckets for you.
- Category rules you’ve set are applied automatically.
- You confirm, tweak anything that’s off, and you’re current.
It’s the difference between an hour of data entry and a five-minute setup. Get the history in, and the app does the sorting.
