Resolution

Import your statement

▼ Step one: Upload your file

From Banking, select the bank account you want to import transactions to.
From Actions select the drop-down arrow and Import statement.
Select your file type.
Browse to, or drag and drop the file you're uploading.
Select the date format used in your file so we can process it correctly.
Add a comment to help you identify the import later.
Select upload file.

▼ Step two: Verify transactions

After the file upload, you need to tell us which transactions show:

Money coming into the account
Money coming out of the account

To help with this, we'll display one of your transactions on the screen. Confirm your transaction as either money in or money out of the account to continue.

▼ Step three: Review transactions

Your transactions will appear as a list. If there are errors with the way we've categorised these, you can go back to the Verify screen.

Once you've reviewed the transactions, select Import transactions. We'll take you back to the Banking screen while we complete the import.

Your imported transactions will show on your bank account tile.

TIP: Once you've uploaded your statement, you can also apply bank rules to transactions to automate the process, saving you time. Read What are bank rules to find out more.
