<p>Take a look at this Moneydance KB article regarding manual downloads/imports:<br>

<p>If I may make a suggestion, download the trial version of Moneydance to see if it suits your needs and to see if you can import your Quicken data.</p>
<p>You can d/l the trial version here:<br>

Some banks (incorrectly) give the same labels to these files, but if you can download a QFX file, you should be able to import it via File -> Import from the Moneydance menu bar, as that link Kevin gave above describes.</p>

<p>Just my 2 cents worth. I have the same problem with my bank. If you are a Windows user, you can associate .qfx files with Moneydance(Instead of Quicken). After downloading the QFX file, just double click the file and will load directly in Moneydance.<br>
Not as swift as direct connect, but works quite well for me.</p>
<p>Cheers,<br>

MD processed the QFX file without issue. Now I understand the need for the Confrim/Merge buttons.</p></div>John Mtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/481744352020-08-18T23:34:30Z2020-08-18T23:34:32Z.qfx imports<div><p>I'm having trouble with downloading into Moneydance with either CSV or QFX. With QFX, it puts all payments in as charges and all charges in as payments. With CSV, I can't seem to figure out which fields to use and which to ignore to get the data I want. All I'm trying to import with CSV is date, description, & amount. If I choose those 3 names as my first 3 fields & ignore the rest, I get garbage. Help! TIA!</p></div>Lynn Sweettag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/481744352020-08-19T00:04:54Z2020-08-19T00:04:54Z.qfx imports<div><p>Hi Lynn,</p>
<p>Can you post a sample of the CSV file? Just make sure that there is no sensitive information in it.</p>
<p>Something else to check is in Preferences on the Network tab, tick the option to 'Ignore Transaction Types in Favor of Amount Signs'.</p>

<p>I just now figured out how to do the CSV import. I found the Importing<br>
CSV Files help article & eventually figured out how my csv file needs to<br>
be & what fields to have in MD. Now I need to make good enough notes<br>
for myself that I remember how to do it next time! Thanks for your<br>
reply & offer of help, though!</p>

Hi Lynn.</p>
<p>You may want to try Kevin N suggestion to get QFX file import working correctly.</p>
<p>QFX provides some important advantages over CSV file types when importing into Moneydance. The main being it have a feature which prevent duplication of transaction if a transaction exists when importing the next set of data.</p>
<p>OFX/QFX files should contain a "Unique Transaction ID" (FITID) for each transaction. Moneydance uses this ID to prevent duplicates.<br>
It does not matter how many times you import this file into Moneydance the transaction only appears once.</p>
<p>The CSV file specifications do not include the equivalent to FITID and thus you can get duplicates on importing if transitions already exist in Moneydance.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23
