Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about importing bank statements into Wave
How do I import bank statements into Wave Accounting?
Convert your PDF with our tool, then in Wave click Accounting → Transactions → Upload a Bank Statement. Select the CSV, map Date, Description, and Amount, and Wave will import everything instantly.
What CSV format does Wave require?
Wave expects a simple 3-column CSV: Date (MM/DD/YYYY), Description, and Amount (positive for deposits, negative for withdrawals). Our export engine delivers exactly that layout.
Can I import credit card statements to Wave?
Yes. Wave treats credit card uploads the same as bank statements. Use our converter to create the CSV and upload it through the Transactions page—expenses will import as negative amounts automatically.
How do I avoid duplicate transactions in Wave?
Before importing, delete overlapping bank feed entries in Wave and only upload the missing period. Our cleanup logic removes headers and blank rows so Wave never flags duplicates.
Is there a trial for the Wave bank statement converter?
Yes. You can try for one week to experience the full platform. When you're ready, $79/month unlocks unlimited exports.
How fast is the Wave import with this workflow?
Most users convert the PDF in ~10 seconds and upload to Wave in under 30 seconds—saving hours of manual entry.
