With HomeBank you can import/export some of the internal data's in the most common file format that is CSV.
Notice: meanwhile CSV should uses comma as separator, HomeBank uses semi-colon as separator (this is most common than comma)
The format used for the different files is specific to HomeBank, so don't expect to import files your bank should offers you directly, you will need to arrange it a little in a spreadsheet like Gnumeric before.
Below is a description with example of the CSV format that HomeBank uses.
Starting v5.2.5 you can change the separator for transaction import into preferences.
date | the date format can be:
year can be 2 or 4 digits |
---|---|
payment |
You cannot import transaction with payment type=5 (internal xfer) from 0=none to 10=FI fee (in the same order of the list) |
info | a string |
payee | a payee name |
memo | a string |
amount | a number with a '.' or ',' as decimal separator, ex: -24.12 or 36,75 |
category | a full category name (category, or category:subcategory) |
tags | tags separated by space tag is mandatory since v4.5 |
