How to export your Bank of America transactions
- Sign in to your online banking and open the transaction history or statement page for the account you want to review.
- Choose the date range you want, then use the download or export option.
- If your bank asks for a format, pick CSV, Excel (.xlsx or .xls), or PDF — Zoption reads all of them.
- In Zoption, open Import, choose the file, and check the preview before you save anything.
What Zoption reads automatically
Zoption looks for these headings in your Bank of America file and maps them for you:
- posted date
- payee
- amount
- debit
- credit
- category
- type
- currency
- Bank of America exports use a Posted Date and a Payee or Description column. Zoption matches both and reads a single Amount column with signed values.
- This export is usually in a foreign currency. Zoption stores Philippine pesos only and does not convert currencies, so confirm the amounts are already in pesos before you save them.
What happens after you choose a file
Nothing is saved until you say so. Zoption shows a preview with every parsed row, flags rows it cannot read, warns you about likely duplicates, and commits your import as a single unit — so a partial import can never leave your ledger half-updated.
Once saved, the entries feed your category spending, budget progress, six-month trend, and savings rate. Amounts are stored as whole centavos, so totals stay exact instead of drifting the way floating-point sums do.
Your data stays yours
Zoption does not connect to Bank of America and never asks for your banking credentials. You upload a file you already downloaded, and every record lives in your own isolated workspace. Your workspace starts empty and contains only what you choose to add.
Common questions
My statement is in US dollars. Can Zoption convert it?
No. Zoption stores Philippine pesos only and does not convert currencies. Convert the amounts to pesos before importing, or use a peso-denominated account if you need the figures to match your other records.
Which date does Zoption use?
The Posted Date column, which reflects when the transaction settled rather than when it was authorised. That keeps your monthly totals consistent with the statement.
