Why won't my bank CSV import into QuickBooks?

QuickBooks rejects a CSV when the columns, date format, amounts, headers or transaction structure do not match its expected import format. BankFileFix identifies and fixes many of these problems before export.

What this fixer does

Bank exports rarely match what QuickBooks expects. BankFileFix reshapes them without you editing a spreadsheet by hand.

Detects Date, Description and Amount columns automatically
Combines separate Debit and Credit columns into one signed Amount
Normalizes inconsistent date formats to what QuickBooks accepts
Strips currency symbols and thousands separators that break imports
Flags possible duplicate transactions for review

How it works

Upload a CSV, XLS or XLSX file. BankFileFix parses it in memory, shows a preview grid you can edit, then lets you export a QuickBooks CSV. Your file is never uploaded to a server.

Common problems this solves

QuickBooks import fails on unrecognized columns, mixed date formats, currency-formatted amounts, repeated header rows, or debit/credit split across two columns. BankFileFix handles each of these before you import.
