We recommend importing bank activity with Quicken (QFX) or MS Money (OFX) files if your bank provides them. You can learn more about importing via these file formats here. However, if your bank does not offer QFX or OFX downloads, Goodbudget supports “CSV” formatted files as well.
- From the Transactions window on the home page, click on “Import Bank Transactions.”
- Click on “Choose File” and select the CSV file you want to upload.
- Then click on “Upload Transactions.”
Goodbudget will take you to a page where you can categorize the data in your CSV file.
Let Goodbudget know which columns represent the Date, Name, and Amount of the transaction, then click on “Submit” to continue the import.
