# Import a bank statement (MT940, CAMT.053, CSV)

No automatic bank connection yet? Download your transactions from your bank and import the file into Booko yourself.

## Which files?

- **MT940, CAMT.053, or bank CSV**.

## Steps

1. Download an export of your transactions from your bank (MT940, CAMT.053 or CSV). Choose your bank in Booko for export guidance.
2. In Booko, go to **Transactions** and click **Import transactions**. You can also use **Settings** > **Bank connections** > **Import a bank statement**.
3. Choose the file.
4. Under **Choose a bank account**, pick the account to import into, or click **Create account [IBAN]** to add the detected account.
5. Check the **Import Preview** and click **Import**.
6. Your transactions now appear under **Transactions**.

## Good to know

- Imported the wrong file? Right after importing you can click **Undo**; you'll see **Import undone**.
- Lines **parked in suspense (1799) pending a VAT decision**? Your accountant will finish those.
- A bank statement contains your IBAN. Only share bank files through the app, never in chat. Booko support will never ask for your IBAN, bank password or login codes in chat.

## Still stuck?

- **Bank account does not match**? Choose the right account or create the detected account.
- **No transactions found in this statement file.** Check that you exported the right format and period.
- **The statement could not be imported.** and it keeps happening? Ask for a colleague in the chat and mention the file format and your bank (don't send the file itself in the chat).
