Importing Data#

There are multiple ways you can import data in to MyMoney.

The File/Import menu allows you to select the following file types

type	Description
.qif	The Quicken interchange format (QIF). See Online Banking
.ofx, .qfx	Open Financial Exchange (OFX). See Online Banking
.xml	An .xml file created from Export Account... on the Account context menu
.csv	Comma separated file . See CSV Import
.mmdb	Import another MyMoney database

If you are importing data from QFX files then the QFX file contains the account names, and import will automatically create the accounts for you.  So QFX format is preferred over QIF or CSV.   Some banks also provide OFX file download, which is just as good as QFX.  If you have to import QIF files then you will need to create the accounts first.
