Do you have data in Mint that you need to import to Quicken® software? There is no way to do that from within Quicken, so you need to do a conversion from a format that Mint does create, and import that into Quicken.
Mint2QIF – If you are converting from Mint to Quicken or other finance software, then Mint to QIF is exactly what you need.
CSV2QFX – If you are merging with an existing Quicken account or intend to import Mint transactions into Quicken on a regular basis and want to avoid duplicate transactions, then you should use CSV2QFX.
1. Download your Mint transactions to a CSV file on your computer.
If you are not familiar with that, the procedure for doing so is in the third tab. Give the file a name such as mint transactions.csv.
2. Install and run Mint2QIF
3. Select Convert, browse to the downloaded Mint file from the previous step, and open the file. The converter will automatically convert all your transactions in all your accounts, to a file such as mint transactions.qif.
4. Run the Quicken program.
5. Select File, then from the pull-down menu select File Import, and then QIF File… This will bring up a dialog window. Select options as shown below. And ignore the warning about not being able to import various account types.
6. In the box for Location of QIF file, select Browse and browse to the QIF just created i.e. mint transactions.qif.
7. Select Import to import the transactions into Quicken. This will import all your accounts, transactions, and categories into Quicken.
8. Go to the Quicken account list, select one of the accounts you imported. The transactions imported from Mint will be in a temporary register at the bottom of the screen.
9. Select Accept All at the lower right to accept all the imported transactions.
Repeat steps 8 and 9 for each account you imported from Mint.
Then all your data will be converted to Quicken. And you are ready to go!
1. Run CSV2QFX
2. Select the File menu, and Set Quicken Account Info. This brings up a dialog window with Quicken information.
3. Select Lookup (to the right of the FID input box), and this will bring up the Quicken list of financial institutions.
4. Since Mint is not supported by Quicken (go figure) you will have to choose another financial institution as an ‘alias’. Most, but not all, of the financial institutions listed will work, but some will fail with the error “Quicken is currently unable to verify the financial institution for this download. Please try again later.” Two at the beginning of the list that do work fine are 1st Advantage Bank and 1st Advantage Federal Credit Union. Just remember which financial institution you chose so that you are consistent when importing Mint files in the future.
5. Select OK to return to the Quicken Account Info dialog.
6. If importing a Credit Card, type “CCard” into the Bank Routing Number field, which will tell CSV2QFX that you want Quicken to import this data as a credit card. Otherwise leave it blank. You can also leave the account number blank.
7. Select OK return to the main CSV2QFX screen.
8, Select the File menu, then Open CSV File, and browse to the downloaded Mint file, i.e. mint.csv,
9. Select the file, and then select Open. This will run the CSV2QFX converter, and create a QFX file, in this example called mint.qfx.
10. Run the Quicken program.
11. Select File, then from the pull-down menu select File Import, and then Web Connect File…
12. Browse to the QFX file just created (i.e. mint.qfx) , select it, and select Open
OR you can combine steps 10-12 by using Windows Explorer, and simply double-clicking the QFX file.
Either method will bring up a Import Downloaded Transactions dialog. Note than whatever financial institution you chose in step 4 will be displayed.
13. Select the correct option – to create a new account called Mint, or to link to an existing account.
14. Select Import, and the Mint transactions will be read.
15. If your Quicken preference type for Downloaded Transactions is not set to Automatically add to registers then the transactions imported from Mint will be in a temporary register at the bottom of the screen. In this case, select Accept All (at the lower right) to accept all the imported transactions. Or select individual transaction to accept or delete.
For more details see the CSV2QFX help file.
1. Log into your Mint account at www.mint.com from your web browser.
2. From the account list on the left, select the account that you wish to convert to Quicken
3. At the very bottom right of the account transactions, in tiny print, is a link that says “Export all nn transactions”
4. Your browser will open a popup window prompting you to save or open the file – save the file to a folder or your desktop and give it some useful name like mint transactions.csv.
