CSV Import (MasterCard)

Import MasterCard Transactions

I could import from every bank account, but couln't from my MasterCard account, because GnuCash does not support csv import.

Importing from csv is difficlult, because csv does not contain all informations gnucash needs, and every csv file is different from the other.

So I wrote a cvs2ofx converter for my MasterCard. It can handle csv files, downloaded via the https://umsatzabfrage.mastercard.at/Umsatzabfrage/ portal.

Usage

1. Simply download mastercard2ofx:

 wget http://members.inode.at/martin.klaffenboeck/scripts/mastercard2ofx

2. Download your csv file from 'Umsatzabfrage' or maybe an english one. 'Umsatzabfrage' is something like 'request for transactions'. Its iportant to name your csv file with the number of your credit card. The cvs file does not contain this inside, and the script takes it from the name. So your save as filename looks like:

 1234567812345678.csv

3. Convert the csv file (the outfile can have any name, because the card number is saved inside:

 ./mastercard2ofx 1234567812345678.csv outfile.ofx

Now you can import this file via gnucash's ofx import.

Feature requests

If you want to support it your csv file, and this script doesn't handle it, it is easy for any python programmer to change it. If you want me to do it, send me your csv file - I will to it for free (if I dont have to do to many other things).
