- 1. Download a file from your Bank’s website to use as a template.
- 2. Click on the [Add New] button to set your default Financial Institution.
- 3. Browse to the Bank file that you downloaded. Open the file. Your data will be displayed on the left side of the pop-up window.
- 4. Answer the questions in the bottom left of the pop-up window:
- - Is there a header? This refers to whether there are column titles in the data. For example date, description etc.
- - Are the fields separated by tabs or commas? Most banks use commas, try this option first.
- - How many fields are there in each row? For example if your data has Date, description, debit and credit, there are 4 fields.
Note: sometimes it is difficult to tell if there is no header row. If you see 2 commas together, the second comma indicates another field, even though it is empty. For example, this will occur if the bank file has a separate field for debits [money out] and credits [money in].
