Bank Activity: Manual Import and Export

Manually importing and exporting bank files is one of three ways that Bank Activity can be updated. Click here to learn more about Bank Activity Update Options.

Download Activity from Your Bank

Log into your bank website and choose to download your bank transaction history for your desired Account and date range. You need to download the information into a QFX or QBO file format – typically choosing the QuickBooks or Quicken format option will produce the required QFX or QBO file format.

Upon clicking 'Download' the file should save to your computer.

Converting CSV to QFX

If your banking institution does not provide bank activity in the above formats, and a CSV (Comma Delimited) file can be obtained, you can manually convert the CSV to QFX via a third party application. We recommend 'csv2qfx Convert' from MoneyThumb. Click here for more information on csv2qfx Convert.
