Viseca to YNAB: questions
Can YNAB connect to Viseca directly?
No. YNAB’s Direct Import currently doesn’t connect to banks or card issuers in Switzerland, so Viseca transactions come in through File-Based Import: download the export described above, convert it here and drop it into YNAB on the web.
Is my Viseca file uploaded anywhere?
No. ynabit converts it with JavaScript in your browser. There is no server that could receive it, and nothing is kept once you close the page.
What does the converted file look like?
A CSV with one row per transaction and the columns Date, Payee, Memo, Outflow and Inflow: dates as YYYY-MM-DD, a dot for decimals, and each amount in Outflow or Inflow, so YNAB maps the columns by itself.
My Viseca file isn't recognised. What now?
Check that you downloaded the export described above, not a PDF or Excel file. Then pick Viseca in the list next to the file: the error tells you what the converter expected. If it still fails, report it on GitHub with a few anonymised lines.
Can I convert several Viseca files at once?
Yes. Drop several months, or files from other banks and cards, together. Each one becomes its own …_ynab.csv to import into the matching YNAB account.
