The principle issue that this causes is that your financial programme will likely attempt to import duplicates off of the file and you will need to be vigilant of controlling or editing the on-line bank export date range to minimise duplication. This means that the best that we can hope for is to use the far less intelligent QIF format. While it is possible to track the date range, there is no information on the ledger start and end total to validate the import process against. The file does not contain sufficient information to permit the use of the QFX format, which is required to track the ledger date range and starting and end totals. The Metro Bank UK CSV structure is extremely simple. If like me, you are put out by the idea of having to manually enter your transactions into your finance package then this could help. Instead that only offer a very limited snapshot view which downloads in a simplified CSV structure. The new provider – Metro Bank UK – does not offer a QFX or QIF download service to automate the transaction import process. Having just moved banks, my previous provider offered downloadable QFX files which allowed me to import them into Microsoft Money.
