Import guide

Importing your ING transactions

At ING Belgium you download your transaction overview as a CSV file. That is all piggyme needs: no bank connection, no third party between you and your data.

Five minutes the first time, thirty seconds a month after that.

Exporting at ING

1. Sign in to ING at ing.be on your computer.
2. Open the account and view your transaction overview.
3. Pick the period and find the download/export option; choose CSV as the format.
4. Download the file.

The download button moves around a little between versions of the ING environment, but it always lives near the transaction overview.

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.
