Connect your banks
Sign up and connect your banks through Plaid. We get the last 12 months of transactions from each one, and your YNAB export covers the years before that.
-
Upload your YNAB file
Choose Start an import on your dashboard, pick YNAB, and upload the file. We recognize YNAB’s columns, so there’s nothing to set up.
-
Check what’s new
Transactions your banks already sent are matched, so each one shows up once. If we’re not sure, you decide. You can remove an import later.
