Exporting from BMO.
About a minute, on BMO's website. Berm has been tested on a file laid out like the one it gives you.
The steps
- Sign in to BMO online banking and choose your chequing account.
- Choose Download, above the transactions.
- Pick the dates.
- Choose Spreadsheet (CSV format), then Download.
The file opens with a line saying when it was made. Berm skips it and reads the table under it.
What the file holds
- One amount column: money out is negative.
- Dates year, month and day with nothing between (20260813).
- No running balance, so Berm asks for your balance once, on a slider.
Then
Open Berm and choose the file on the Import card. It is read on your device and never uploaded; Berm says what it found in each column before anything is added, and importing the same file twice changes nothing.
