Overview

With Quicken Simplifi, you will be able to import your banking and credit card transactions using a CSV file. You can create a CSV file using our downloadable template or import directly from Personal Capital.

Note: The option to import transactions is only available on the Web App. You will not be able to import transactions on the Quicken Simplifi mobile app.

Before importing:

  • We recommend downloading and using our CSV template to avoid any issues with importing.

  • If you're importing transactions from Personal Capital, DO NOT alter the downloaded file.

  • Categories are not imported. You will need to categorize your transactions once imported.

  • Depending on your bank, you may be limited to download the last 90 days of transactions.

    • If you need transactions older than 90 days, you will need to contact your bank for further assistance.


Preparing and formatting your transactions for import

  • When importing your transactions, you will only be able to import one account at a time

  • You will only be able to import the account's transactions once.

  • If imported transactions are deleted, you will have to manually create the transaction.

    • Re-importing the deleted imported transaction to the same account will not restore the transaction.

  • If you are creating your own CSV file from scratch, you will need to make sure that you are using the exact same columns that are in our downloadable template. You CSV file should include:

    • Your headers should be labeled as Date, Payee, Amount, and Tags.

    • All of your transactions should have a date, payee, and amount. Leaving empty fields can lead to issues.

    • Dates need to be entered as M/D/YYYY (i.e., 1/1/2022).

    • Negative transactions need to have a negative sign (-) in front of the amount of the transaction, or the transactions will import as a positive transaction.
