Import from any NZ bank, no column-matching
Paste a CSV export from any major NZ bank and KeaBudget now works out the columns for you: dates, amounts, descriptions, even Debit/Credit indicators. ANZ, BNZ, Westpac, Kiwibank, TSB, ASB and Wise all just work.
Until automatic bank sync lands, CSV import is how most people get their transactions in. The trouble is that every bank exports a different shape, and making you map "which column is the date" on every upload is the fastest way to make someone give up.
So KeaBudget now detects it for you. Paste an export and it works out which column holds the date (and whether it's day-first or ISO), which is the amount, and which is the description, all from the data itself. You just check the preview and import.
We tested it against real exports from:
- ANZ (everyday and credit card)
- BNZ
- Westpac
- Kiwibank
- TSB
- ASB
- Wise (multi-currency transfers)
A few were genuinely tricky. ANZ credit card and Kiwibank put the in/out direction in a separate Debit/Credit column instead of using a minus sign, so we read that column. ASB's amount sign can't always be trusted (a $200 ATM withdrawal shows up as positive), so there we trust the Debit/Credit column instead. Wise stamps full date-times and lists several currencies at once, so we pick the right one. All handled, all checked against real files.
If something still looks off, you can override any column by hand.
