I'm not planning on revisiting them all again to check, but am pretty sure that the vast majority do QIF exports, it's probably the second most popular option offered after CSV/XLS.

No, don't worry, you've already helped me loads, thank you!

How about using one of the budgeting apps ... Yolt, Money Dashboard, YNAB, to mention but a few. Some are free, some are chargeable.

Thanks, some of these are on my radar too.

YNAB - **still** doesn't support import from banks outside the US.
Yolt - found its budgeting features very inflexible tbh

Haven't looked into Money Dashboard for some reason; their youtube channel seems to show they're a bit more feature-rich than Yolt, so I think I might take a look - thanks for the prompt.

If I can find a good online money management then I'm less bothered about the actual banking app's features, so can relax my search criteria!

Great responses all - this forum is brilliant!

Final thought on this: there have been many different criteria that people have used when evaluating banks on here - availability of switching incentives, referral bonuses, interest on balances, access to lucrative regular savers, availability of free overdraft facilities, quality of apps, scale of branch network, qualitative impressions of customer service, not having the initials T, S and B in their names, etc, etc, but I don't think I've ever seen a poster using export formats as a primary differentiator!

Still, your money, your choice

Logically you would have to renounce your UK citizenship then...

Yeah, the only one that doesn't, in my experience, is the Clydesdale, which only offers CSV. They used to do a QIF option before their system update (last year or the year before). It's the worst syetm of the lot.

I have a vague memory of a poster who wanted a particular design of debit card......:)
