Import and reconcile your bank
Get your bank lines in and matched.
Step 1 of 5
Download a statement from your bank
In your internet banking, export the account's transactions since your last import. Plain reads OFX, QFX and QIF files from any bank, and CSV files from any bank after you match the columns once.

For each line, check the suggestion and the evidence. Select Accept match, or Choose another.
Step 4 of 5
Deal with the rest
For lines with no invoice or bill, enter a bill and match it, or note them for your accountant. See Code a bank line to an account.
Step 5 of 5
