Import a bank statement and reconcile

On a computer, choose Books in the sidebar. On a phone, tap More, then Books. Tap Banking, or Reconcile at the top of Books. Each money account shows its balance in the books and its last statement.

Tap Import beside the account. Under The statement, pick the CSV file (4 MB at most) and tap Check the statement.

The columns are usually guessed from the headings. If not, under Which column is which?, pick the date, the description and the money (one column, or money in and money out), how Dates are written and the row The headings are on. They're kept for next time.

Lines already in the books aren't added again, and a gap since the last statement or a balance that doesn't follow on is pointed out. Tap Import, which says how many new lines there are.

Open the account, on the Reconcile tab. Each line shows what in the books looks like it, best first: a payment, an invoice, a bill or a transfer. Tap Match.

No match? Tap Spend money or Receive money, pick the account, the tax and what it was for, and add a part if it's more than one thing. Tap Save and reconcile. Money between your own accounts is a Transfer.

A bank's own correction and its reversal, say. Tap Ignore and say why. It stays on the statement and out of the books, and can be taken back from Transactions.

Bank fees, a Stripe payout, the rent: on Banking, tap Bank rules, then New rule. Type the Words in the line and say what the rule does. With Reconcile by itself on, lines that fit are done as each statement comes in.
