Import guide

Importing your Argenta transactions

Argenta exports your transactions as an Excel file (.xlsx) — and piggyme reads it directly, no conversion needed. No bank connection: you download, piggyme analyses.

The first import takes a few minutes; after that it is a thirty-second monthly routine.

Exporting at Argenta

1. Sign in to Argenta Internet Banking at argenta.be (on your computer).
2. Open the account you want to export and view its transactions.
3. Pick the period and click export/download — you get an Excel file (.xlsx).
4. Repeat for your other Argenta accounts if you want to track those too.

piggyme reads the Argenta format out of the box — no need to change anything in the file.

Importing into piggyme

1. Open piggyme and drag the downloaded file into the window (or click "Import your bank export" and pick the file).
2. piggyme recognises the columns automatically. If something looks off, the column helper shows exactly what it found and you point it to the right column — once; it remembers for future imports.
3. Done: your transactions get categories right away, and your overview, budgets and forecast fill themselves in. Fix a few categories if needed — the app learns from every correction.

Good to know

• Multiple accounts or banks? Drop all the files in at once — piggyme merges everything and automatically cancels out transfers between your own accounts.
• Re-importing overlapping periods is harmless: duplicates are recognised and only counted once.
• Your file stays on your own device — on the free plan your data never leaves your computer, and with Plus everything syncs end-to-end encrypted.
• Import monthly (or weekly if you like to stay on top of it) — forecasts and alerts get sharper with more history.
