Import Mint to Nethaven

Import Mint transaction history into Nethaven. See what transfers, what does not, and why balances may need correction after import.

Find the importer in Settings > Import data or from the dashboard prompt when it appears. Use your saved Mint transactions CSV or the transaction export you downloaded before Mint shut down. Upload the original Transactions CSV without editing it in a spreadsheet first.
Importing Mint to Nethaven creates transaction history from the rows in the export, including accounts, categories, merchants, notes, or tags when those fields are present. Only YNAB carries budget history into Nethaven today. For Mint, use the import to move transaction history and rebuild current budget planning in Nethaven after the import.Before confirming, check the transaction and account counts, the per-account reconstructed balances, and the budget reconciliation line. Flat CSV tools carry no opening balances, so imported account balances are the sum of imported activity until you correct them. Transfers are inferred rather than marked, so some can import as two ordinary transactions.
Use Replace my starter data only when the import should replace onboarding data. It deletes starter accounts, transactions, categories, budgets, goals, and sample setup items before applying the import. Loan payoff details never transfer because the source exports do not contain the needed payoff fields, and Nethaven will not invent them.

1

Where do I find the importer?

Open **Settings > Import data** from the dashboard sidebar. If a dashboard import prompt appears, it opens the same import flow.

2

How do I get the Mint export file?

Use your saved Mint transactions CSV or the transaction export you downloaded before Mint shut down. Upload the original Transactions CSV when possible, not a bank CSV, screenshot, report export, or spreadsheet-edited copy.

What should I check before confirming?

Review the counts, per-account reconstructed balances, budget reconciliation line, and warnings before committing. Only YNAB carries budget history into Nethaven today. This import creates spending history from transactions, not historical budget months. Flat CSV exports do not include opening balances. Nethaven starts each imported account from the sum of imported activity, so some balances will need correction after import. Flat CSV exports do not mark transfers as transfer links. Nethaven infers likely transfers from same-day opposite-sign amounts, so some transfers can import as two ordinary transactions.

What does Replace my starter data do?

It deletes onboarding starter data before applying the import. Leave it off if you want to keep accounts, categories, transactions, budgets, goals, or other setup items you already created manually.

5

What should I do if balances look wrong?

Correct the account balance after import, then inspect transfers and duplicate-looking rows. Flat CSV balances often differ because the file contains activity but no opening balance, and loan payoff details never transfer because the exports do not contain them.
