Conversion notes

Wells Fargo descriptions often embed the authorization date ('AUTHORIZED ON MM/DD') — the posting date is the one to use as your row date.

Download activity as CSV from the account history when available; statement PDFs cover the full official period.

Check transactions list the check number in the description — keep it so you can match cleared checks.

FAQ

Can I import straight to QuickBooks?

Yes — map date, description and the signed amount to QBO's 3-column bank upload.

Multiple accounts on one statement?

Combined statements show each account in its own section; convert per account and label a column so the data stays separable.
