Frequently Asked Questions

What delimiter does the CSV use?

The CSV uses comma (,) as the delimiter and double-quotes (") for text fields containing commas. This is the standard RFC 4180 format accepted by all modern spreadsheet and accounting applications.

Does the CSV include a header row?

Yes. The first row contains column headers: Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance. Some tools require you to skip the header row on import — this is usually a checkbox in the import wizard.

What date format does the CSV use?

Dates are formatted as YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601) by default, which is unambiguous and accepted by all software. You can request MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format in the converter settings.

Can I import this CSV into Wave Accounting?

Yes. Wave supports CSV import via Accounting → Transactions → Import. Select your bank account, upload the CSV, and map the Date, Description, and Amount columns. Wave will match transactions to your existing entries.
