Importing from transaction files is a great option if you are unable to connect your bank to MoneyMinder or if the connection is temporarily disrupted due to bank updates or outages.
Transactions can be imported individually or in bulk to the same budget category.
To import transaction files, the bank must offer transaction file exports in QFX, QBO, or OFX format.
Account Integration must be activated to use this feature. Please contact us to request activation.
All banks are different, so the steps for downloading transaction files will look different depending on the bank.
- Log in to the bank.
- Select the account from which to import transactions.
- Find the option to export transaction files.
- Select one of the three types supported: QFX, QBO, or OFX.
- Export the file to your computer.
Next, log in to MoneyMinder.

How can I match an imported bank transaction to something I already entered? For instance I never checks as they are written and then when I import them it creates a duplicate entry and I have to delete my first one. Is there a way to match to an entry?
Hi Janet,
Great question! MoneyMinder does not automatically match a duplicate, but it does indicate duplicates. On your import screen, if you have a duplicate, you can use the ‘eyeball’ and hide those imports.
