Before you can upload your transactions into Solo you need to export them from your online bank account.
The process of exporting transactions is similar across all the major banks in New Zealand. So if you don’t see your bank listed below try using the most generic instructions to help you get started.
It’s best to export all the transactions from any accounts that you use to receive income or to make business purchases from. Export your transactions since the beginning of the financial year (1 April) in either an OFX or QIF file type. It doesn’t matter which date format you select when exporting the file as Solo accepts all date formats.
How to get OFX or QIF files from your bank:
Log into your online banking
Select the account you want to download transactions for
Find a “view statements” or “view transaction history” or similar tab and click on it
Insert the date range, usually from 1 April to today
Make sure you select the OFX or QIF option as the “Output” or “Format”
Click “Export”, “Save” or “Download” and the file will be saved to wherever your computer usually saves files
Now login to Solo and go to the Upload File page to upload your file
Your transactions will appear in the Income and Expenses pages ready for you to categorise.
