How to import the QIF file
Quicken (Windows)
- Go to File, then File Import, then QIF File.
- Select the .qif file from FileInto.
- Choose the Quicken account to import into, then Next.
- Review the imported transactions in the register.
Other apps
- Look for Import, then QIF in the File menu (Banktivity, Moneydance, MoneyWiz and others).
- Select the .qif file from FileInto.
- Pick the account to import into.
- Check the date format your app asks for: FileInto writes month first (10/03/2026).
What FileInto looks for in your file
| Column | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Transactions | <STMTTRN> ... </STMTTRN> | Every transaction in the file. Older SGML files (OFX 1) and newer XML files (OFX 2) both work. |
| Date and amount | <DTPOSTED>20261003, <TRNAMT>-5.75 | The posted date and the signed amount, exactly as your bank wrote them. No date or sign settings to check. |
| Payee and memo | <NAME>, <MEMO> | Kept in full. |
| Transaction id | <FITID>SB2026100301 | QIF has no place for it, so it is left out (see the questions below). |
| Account | <ACCTID>, <ACCTTYPE>, <CCACCTFROM> | Sets the account type (checking, savings or credit card) and the last 4 digits for you. |
Problems and fixes
- FileInto says it couldn’t read the file
- Open the file in a text editor. A real bank download starts with OFXHEADER or <OFX>. If it starts with something else (a web page, an error), download it from your bank again.
- Quicken won’t import QIF into a bank account
- Recent Quicken versions only accept QIF for some account types. Use QFX instead: switch "Save as" to QFX for Quicken.
- Transactions are duplicated
- QIF has no transaction ids, so apps can’t tell what you already imported. Import each date range once, or use OFX or QFX, which carry ids.
- Dates are wrong
- QIF dates are written month first. If your app expects day first, check its import date setting.
Questions
- Why convert QFX to QIF?
- Some apps, and older Quicken versions, import QIF but not QFX. FileInto writes each transaction from your QFX download as QIF: date, amount, payee, memo and check number.
- Is my QFX file uploaded?
- No. FileInto converts it inside your browser tab. Your file never reaches our servers, and nothing about it does either: not its name, its size or how many rows it has.
- What doesn’t carry over?
- QIF has no transaction ids, so importing an overlapping date range can add the same transactions twice. Everything else carries over. Convert only the dates you haven’t imported yet.
- Do I need to set columns or dates?
- No. A bank download already says which value is the date, the payee and the amount, so there is nothing to map. Check the account type and download.
- Can I get a CSV instead?
- Yes. Switch "Save as" to CSV for Excel and Google Sheets.
- What are the limits?
- Files up to 25 MB. Every file gets a full preview free. Downloads up to 25 transactions are free, no account needed; a Day Pass ($9 for 24 hours) or Unlimited ($7 a month) has no row limit. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers and phones.
