<p>I'm currently testing an opposition product - the one that does facilitate (for an annual subscription) fully automated downloads from the major Australian banks. The UI is certainly different, but I'm encouraged. I shifted from Quicken to Moneydance after 11 years, and now, after 8 years with Moneydance, perhaps the time might be right to move on...</p></div>al.byrnetag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/469018172019-02-15T09:32:34Z2019-02-15T09:32:34ZMD2019 - QIF import erroneously creates empty 'Imported Bank Account'<div><p>Yep they worked perfectly.</p>

<p>Yes.</p>
<p>The way that I perform the import is to open the credit card register first (In this case Amazon Prime (Synchrony Bank). I then use MS Edge to go to the site. I select the appropriate parameters for exporting data. After I click on 'export', a dialogue box opens, asking whether to open or save. I click on 'open". The MD import window opens to the default 'imported credit card account'. I select the Amazon Prime Account. The import works as expected. I can merge and reconcile without issue.</p>
<p>When I go back to the site again (As I just did to outline this submission), the process is exactly the same. The import box defaults to 'Imported Credit Card Account' until I manually select the correct account again.</p>
<p>I hope that this additional information is helpful to you.</p>
<p>In my case, I do have the ability to select a qfx file instead, so it is not causing a major issue for me (although the qif file provides better transaction description fields).</p>
<p>Thanks for your prompt attention and continued efforts for resolution.</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>
<p>Tony :)</p></div>TonyRItag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/469018172019-03-05T21:06:41Z2019-03-05T21:06:41ZMD2019 - QIF import erroneously creates empty 'Imported Bank Account'<div><p>Hi all (Sean, thank you for joining us!).</p>
<p>While build 1860 has cured the spontaneous creation of an empty 'Imported bank account' on QIF import, I can see the import dialog box is offering to import to what is, at that point in the process, a non-existent new account called, unsurprisingly, 'Imported bank account'. If I scroll and click to select the correct account, the data import to the targeted account proceeds normally and no extraneous account is created. I have not been brave enough to attempt importing into the proposed new account!</p>
<p>I see the same indications if the QIF originates from a bank savings account, a credit card account, or a loan/liability account, and the account register (if any) open as I commence the import does not vary the result.</p>
<p>Summary: in all cases, the import dialog proposes import to a non-existent account called 'Imported bank account'.</p>

<p>Yes, QIF files for single accounts usually do not specify the type of account that they are associated with, so Moneydance shows the "Imported Bank Account" option to give you the opportunity to put the transactions from the import into a new account with the default type (bank) but the ability to change the account type for the new account, or to simply select a different existing account.</p>
<p>In recent builds you can also change the type or currency for any accounts, provided that they don't already have existing transactions in them.</p>
<p>I'd love to hear any suggestions or reports of problems with this new setup.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>

<ul>
<li>
<p>import dialog box - can’t navigate from the default ‘imported bank account’ by keyboard. User must manually click on target account. From that point onward, can navigate the account list by arrow keys</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>import appears to proceed normally, however, when the target account register opens it has changed from single-line view to two-line view</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>and, most importantly, the app then freezes. Must force quit.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>on subsequent relaunch, imported data is OK, and single-line view is restored.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>All too late for me, after eight years of using Moneydance, I’ve switched. It’s been great, but these QIF import difficulties over the last few months have been too much for me.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your efforts,</p>
